12. Case Studies

13. USA: psych, tag iiit!
Challenge
USA Network needed to grow its online fan
base and grow its TV viewership leveraging
social media techniques such as
sweepstakes and TV series engagement.
Solution
A strategy to design, develop and deploy
fourteen social applications across eleven
TV shows promoting USA’s premieres and
season finales via Facebook was
implemented. Sweepstakes applications
were co-branded to target potential new
fans and grow the fan base.
Benefit
The social applications grossed 1,000,000+
entrants from the applications’ mobile
optimization and accessibility (traffic and
engagement was sourced from
smartphone and tablet users).

14. Nuance: Where do you Dragon?
Challenge
As part of an ongoing campaign promoting
Nuance’s voice activated Mobile
Assistant, Dragon, and its continuous new
version releases, the need to continuously
engage with and leverage Dragon’s online
fan base through social media was
required.
Solution
A User Generated Content (U.G.C.) photo
contest and social sweepstakes application
was developed. Organic reach and targeted
ad spend was used to activate and
simultaneously grow Dragon’s Facebook
page ‘likes’ and Twitter following.
Benefit
The sweepstakes application has
successfully engaged and enlarged
Dragon’s online fan base.

15. Gazelle: iPhone 5 Release Twitter Meter
Challenge
Gazelle.com needed an engaging way to activate
and grow their Twitter fan base by tapping into
the excitement leading up to and during Apple’s
iPhone 5 release.
Solution
A strategy was formulated, designed and
developed a Twitter hashtag counter sweepstakes
campaign with mobile accessibility that leveraged
a sleek user interface and incentives to encourage
sharing with friends, family and colleagues. The
more cumulative tweets, the better the prizes
Tweeters were eligible to win.
Benefit
Due to the sweepstake’s organic sharability
(technical design) and exciting engagement
technique, Gazelle’s brand significantly expanded
its awareness and reach. In just 3 weeks, the
Gazelle’s influence on Twitter grew by 2,000+ new
followers and achieved a total reach of 10+
million impressions.
