Using innovative technology to amplify ATL marketing activity
Using a brand new technology labelled “live ingestion”
we were able to allow users to Shazam the live X-Factor
shows throughout November & December 2015.
Users would Shazam live songs during the X-Factor show
and be redirected to a bespoke landing page from Very

access to additional content, special offers and allow
them to download the new apps.

17. Contextual Location/Weather/Product based Rich Media
Adding contextual relevancy is key to improve performance and brand recall
