Ford’s Escape Routes
                                            Reality shows and gamification, meet Social TV.


                                            With innovative technology and development and keen insight into
                                            user behavior and optimium engagement practices, ROKKAN created
                                            a completely interactive Social TV experience in just six months.



Results                                     Backstory.
                                            Building a vehicle with relevant features, and then marketing it among the fray of other automobile
6 months total project time (preparation,   makers is no small feat. Creating the first fully-interactive prime-time reality TV competition to show it off
execution, post-project support/wrap-up)    to as many people as possible to drive sales and interest is an even bigger challenge.

                                            they traveled across the country competing in extreme, real-life challenges.
1 Twitter handle: @FordEscape
                                            Ford looked to ROKKAN effectively create and launch the sizeable digital and technological

                                            Approach.
                                            After the success of Ford’s 2011 web-series Focus Rally, ROKKAN was again tapped to architect the
                                            entire technical solution for Escape Routes, taking over strategic leadership on all interactive elements
                                            of the show. ROKKAN conceived of a new kind of reality show that incorporated the complete
Services                                    integration of the traditional TV experience and social media—taking into account the “second screen”
                                            phenomenon of most TV watchers who are viewing while on their phone, tablet, or laptop.

− Strategy                                  Add interactive gamification to that mix, along with real-time live-streaming video, and Escape Routes
− Creative/Design                           was born: a fully realized Social TV experience combining social media with live TV, and interactive
                                            gaming with live-streaming video. Escape Routes is the first mass-media foray into Social TV.
− UX & IA
− Technology & Development                  Process.
                                            Partnering with Profiles Television (creators of The Amazing Race), who handles video production for
                                            the show, EscapeRoutes.com streamed live video feeds from inside the teams’ lofts and vehicles.
                                            Users watching these real-time feeds could chat with the cast and other members of the audience via
                                            Twitter, Facebook, and chat windows on EscapeRoutes.com.

                                            The challenges that the ER teams faced on the show ranged from trivia about Americana to death-
                                            defying feats, their only support being the participation of viewers at home to help guide the teams
                                            to victory. Often, at-home viewers had to tweet their help to their chosen team via unique hashtags,
                                            Facebook comment clues, and more. From baking chickens, to dangling off the side of a building, the
                                            ER teams had only each other, and their at-home fans plugged in at EscapeRoutes.com to get them to
                                            the finish line and the Grand Prize of two 2013 Ford Escapes and $100,000.

                                        Takeaways.
                                        Up until now, it’s never been possible to interact or “talk back” to the TV – with this campaign
                                                               &
                                        viewers were able to interact cooperatively with the cast to determine the outcome of the contest
                                        in real time using social media.

                                        One of the first campaigns to fully integrate a traditional television production schedule,
                                        accommodating time zones, and integrating online content in parallel, to broadcast a prime-time
                                        show in the same week of filming.

                                        One of the first, most progressive social TV campaigns, a true cross-platform marketing initiative
                                        that leveraged their social influence/followers to recruit as many active users as possible

                                        Integration of “digital host” iJustine leveraged her extensive online community (YouTube,
                                        Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) to boost awareness of the show, and to host a weekly web-exclusive
                                        Game Show where users answered show-related trivia for prizes.
