A media planner is responsible for planning media campaigns across various channels to maximize brand exposure and effectiveness. This involves developing a strategic plan, identifying target audiences, selecting appropriate channels, negotiating deals, monitoring performance, and reporting results. While digital media can be planned separately, an integrated approach that leverages different channels together is often most effective at reaching audiences across many contact points.
The practice of ‘professional communication’ has become a highly complex ordeal, not just because of having to cater to new emerging technologies, social media platforms, and the need to connect with global audiences, but because “communication” hosts different meanings for each audience.
Integrated marketing communications (IMC) is an approach used by organizations to brand and coordinate their communication efforts. The primary idea behind an IMC strategy is to create a seamless experience for consumers across different aspects of the marketing mix.
An integrated marketing campaign is your opportunity to show customers the extent of your creativity, as well as deliver a distinct message across multiple channels. When done well, it could hurtle your brand name across thousands of text messages, emails, or even a couple Sunday brunch conversations.

J'ai rédigé ce document qui collecte des faits et des exemples internationnaux dans la perspective du prochain PARIS 2.0 qui aura lieu fin Février début Mars et au cours duquel les profesionnels francais partagerons leur exemples de branded entertainment francais. La conversation à déjà lieu sur twitter via le hashtag #entertain_me. Tout le monde peut partager ses liens les plus amusant pour qu'on s'amuse 2 minutes au travail.
A l'instar de COCA COLA ZERO qui fait jouer ses consommateurs sur son site corporate, certaines marques proposent à leurs consommateurs de les amuser.
Ces marques qui marchent dans les pas Disney, la marque préfèrée des américains ne cherchent pas être des acteurs du marché du divertissement. Elles utilisent le branded entertainment pour interesser les consommateurs à leurs produits, capter leur attention et peut être gagner leur affection, voire pour mieux les connaitre pour
mieux les satisfaire.
En effet comme le montre GOOGLE qui annonce que 77% des americains consultent un autre écran pendant qu'ils regardent la TV, si les consommateurs sont de plus en plus connectés, ils sont de moins en moins disponibles pour les marques.
Produire des contenus divertissant apparait comme la solution la plus appropriée aux usages des americains qui passent 9 minutes par heure à se divertir en ligne (Experian). D'autant plus que les marques ne cherchent plus seulement à augmenter leur couverture avec un coup de buzz, elles cherchent à obtenir des retombées sur leur marque et au premier rang desquelles l'incitation à recommander
comme le révèlle une étude de OGILVY SOCIAL selon laquelle les marques ne parviennent pas à mobiliser leurs fans en ligne.
Si le branded entertainment est relativement bien accepté par les consommateurs, les annonceurs ont encore beaucoup de chemin à parcourir avec leurs agences pour arriver au niveau d'attractivité des contenus diffusés par BUDWEISER sur sa plateforme "made for music".
Ces annonceurs sollicitent leurs agences medias pour promouvoir leurs contenus transmedia. Ainsi quand MITSUBISHI sponsorise une émission diffusée à la TV, Absolut monte un partenariat éditorial avec VICE et NT1 diffuse son hashtag #walkingdeadNT1 via des ecards sur Twitter.
Divertir permet à ces marques de prendre vie dans le quotidien de leurs consommateurs en étant vraiment fédèrateur, utile et directement activables comme AMERICAN EXPRESS qui permet aux gens de partager leurs passions, L'Oreal qui aide à reproduire les looks vus à la TV ou IKEA qui donne accès à des contenus additionnels au fil de son catalogue.
Elles peuvent aller jusqu'à engager leurs consommateurs en temps réel, dans des moments forts en émotion comme DELL avec #DELLLIVE qui permet aux festivaliers de vivre des expériences augmentées ou tout simplement comme COCA COLA qui ajoute le WIFI à ses fontaines à soda.
Pour y parvenir les marques ont besoin de collecter de nouvelles donné

Digital media strategies are important for broadcasters to engage audiences across platforms and generate new revenue. Social media is a key tool if used properly to drive engagement without overwhelming users. Content should be accessible across devices to meet user preferences. Polls and user-generated content can enhance engagement by involving the audience. Monetization comes from driving clicks from social media to view ads with content. Any strategy needs flexibility to adapt to changing technologies and consumption patterns.
While businesses use social networking platforms to advertise their enterprises, digital marketers have suddenly discovered a new venue to connect with and engage their target audience. Facebook is the most popular social networking site, so it makes sense. For businesses, actively maintaining a presence across all of the top social networking platforms is a difficult task.

Trend 2: Open Source AI
Overview of Open Source AI
Open-source AI involves freely available source code, encouraging developers to collaborate, use, adapt, and share AI technology. This openness fosters innovation and speeds up the development of practical AI solutions across various sectors, including healthcare, finance, and education.
Impact of Open Source AI
The collaborative nature of open-source AI promotes transparency and facilitates continuous improvement, leading to feature-rich, reliable, and modular solutions.

VO:
Imagine a not-too-distant future where channel surf-
ing and surfing the internet have merged. Instead of
“searching” with Google or Netflix, users will find
content such as articles and videos through a “recom-
mendation engine” like Facebook’s Newsfeed. Clicking
on content will launch a separate viewing experience,
where your favorite Funny or Die clips live right next
to the latest episode of Game of Thrones or an arti-
cle on your industry from the Wall Street Journal.
Comments, Tags, and Likes from your social network
will surface within the content or even a real-time
chat with friends currently watching the same thing.

ocial media is the perfect venue for marketing entertainment
properties and other types of content. This is where people
go to talk about what they like, and to learn what their friends
like that they may also be interested in. What better place to suggest a
new show or movie? Combined with the fact that marketers can target
specific, expressed interests and deliver video natively hosted right in the
middle of the content and social media becomes a powerful channel for
entertainment and content marketers.
However, to make the most of the opportunity, marketers still need a
strategic approach that leverages all of the available tools. Over the past
five years, CitizenNet has built deep expertise in the Entertainment ver-
tical, working with a wide range of marketers covering a wide range of
objectives. In the first half of 2015 CitizenNet marketed 15 Top Earning

[BEFORE THE CURTAIN:]
“Setting the Stage and Setting
Objectives”
With any marketing campaign, properly defining objectives is essential
for success. For publishers of content, the ultimate objective is mone-
tization, which is typically achieved by driving viewership. Where the
content is consumed, however, can range from offline viewing, views on
owned platforms, or views on network platforms like YouTube.
Branded Content and Online Viewing
For publishers creating content with integrated sponsor branding, any
view that can be verified has monetary value. The value increases as
publishers are able to provide additional insights and ongoing engage-
ment with viewers. Because the content is itself the promotional vehicle
these publishers do not need to drive views on a separate ad supported
platform to make revenue. Often, these creators rely on online channels
for wide reach and frictionless sharing, and objectives typically focus on
efficient reach (a large number of impressions, often targeting unique
reach with a large number of individuals) and completed video views.
YouTube has a built in advertising mechanism that creators can use to
drive traffic to their channel and views of their content. Most YouTube
users are not logged-in however, so the insights about the viewers are
not totally accurate and it is difficult to gain a complete understanding
of unique reach / unique impressions as the same person may watch
the video multiple times. YouTube does make it easy to refer viewers
to other online platforms however, with typical strategies beginning
7. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 5.
by targeting appropriate viewers on YouTube to drive a view there, and
then using clickable links at the end of videos to direct users to another
online destination or App download for ongoing engagement.
Alternatively, Facebook and Instagram require login so utilizing native
video on those platforms can provide better insights on the individuals
who engage, as well as provide accurate data on unique reach / impres-
sions. Facebook also offers publishers the opportunity to re-engage
video viewers with subsequent videos in a series for example. Of course,
both give marketers the opportunity to send viewers to other online
destinations like streaming platforms or app downloads.
Twitter does not offer native long-form video, so video views there are
essentially ads for video content hosted elsewhere.
Advertising / Ticket Sales Supported Content and Offline
Viewing
For most content creators, the goal is driving views of content on offline
screens (TV, OTT, and Theatres) and monetization is through advertis-
ing or ticket sales. For these content creators, driving online views is
only the beginning.
In working with these types of advertisers we have developed a “full
theater” approach that has generated success in driving ticket sales and
views.
8. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 6.
Filling the Back Rows: Wide Awareness
Big budget movies hoping to win the weekend, or network TV shows
hunting strong ratings, need to ensure that their target audience is
aware of the movie/show. The key is identifying the widest relevant
audience. Through the pre-planning research discussed in the next
chapter, advertisers can identify broad categories of interests for use in
creating wide awareness and generating insights that drive targeting
for ongoing campaigns. Tools like Facebook’s Reach and Frequency
Buying make it easy for advertisers to focus on new, unique users within
a target. Twitter’s Amplify and Publisher Network also make it easy for
advertisers to extend their reach with relevant targets. Detailed strat-
egies and tactics for achieving this Wide Awareness are discussed in
subsequent sections of this guide.
Through granular segmentation, even during this initial phase, adver-
tisers can gain insights on which sub-segments are the most responsive.
This insight is vital to success in ongoing phases for deepening engage-
ment and efficient scaling.
Filling the Front Rows: Deep Engagement
Awareness is not enough, audiences must not only be aware of the
release date, but also desire to see the content. Through refining cre-
ative and focusing targeting based on analysis of campaigns in the initial
phase, marketers can build deepening engagement with the most im-
portant audiences. After identifying which audience sub-segments are
most engaged, advertisers can predict those groups most likely to re-
spond to subsequent messaging and target these specifically for ongoing
Awareness is not

campaigns. Those audiences that have already engaged can be re-tar-
geted to deepen engagement and ensure that this show is top-of-mind.
Channel specific tactics will be discussed at length.
Balancing Reach and Response
Through ongoing iterations in creative and ongoing refinement in tar-
geting, for both Awareness and Engagement campaigns, advertisers can
achieve wide awareness and deep engagement without wasting money
creating awareness or overexposure with un-interested people. This
delivers optimal results for any budget. It is important to remember the
two separate objectives (Wide Awareness, and Deep Engagement) and to
use different strategies and tactics for achieving these objectives. More
details on the best tools and tricks are discussed later.
With clear objectives in mind, let’s move on to the strategies and tactics
that deliver the awareness and engagement necessary to drive the action
of tune-in and ticket sales.
10. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 8.
[ACT 1:]
“Know the Audience”
Understanding the target audience is the key to results with any adver-
tising campaign. The same is true for Entertainment companies. Most
content producers have a strong understanding of who they are creat-
ing the content for and who they expect it to resonate with. While this
knowledge is invaluable in developing targeting strategies, one must go
beyond typical broad demographics to achieve blockbuster results.
Beyond Demographics
Although demographics like age and gender are widely used for de-
fining an audience, there are other powerful ways to segment the
audience. A Horror film should care more about finding people who
like Horror films than they do about reaching a specific age range.
Furthermore, fans of “Vampire Movies” can often be very different from
fans of “Slasher Films” both of which are meaningful sub-genres within
“Horror.” Creating rich, meaningful profiles of the target audience helps
with targeting, which amplifies performance.
Social media offers rich information on user interests more easily and at
a lower cost than most traditional research methodologies. There are
many options for social media listening / analysis / research tools (See
Inset: CitizenNet’s Audience Analysis and Prediction). Regardless of
what tools you use, even freebies like Facebook’s Audience Insights Tool,
it is vital for advertisers to conduct prior analysis of their target and to
develop an understanding of relevant sub-segments.
11. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 9.
Identifying Sub-Segments of the Audience
A major motion picture may find different response rates from differ-
ent audience groups based on marketing the film using the stars of the
movie / the actors, the director of the movie, the genre/sub-genre, the
elements of the story-line, or the special effects. For example, The Fast
and the Furious Seven (Furious Seven) focused on fans of Vin Diesel,
Paul Walker, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson separately as ways to identify spe-
cific areas of strong response. Additionally the film tested fans of other
racing / action movies and video games, and Hispanic Audiences, not to
mention fans of previous films in the franchise. Testing each of these
areas led to valuable insights that improved performance. This segmen-
tation also often results in ideas for different creative executions.
Behavioral Segmentation
In addition to the Interest-Based segments described above, there are a
number of tools for behavioral segmentation. DataLogix provides in-
sights on Facebook and Twitter Users who are heavy Movie-Goers, VOD
Watchers, DVD Purchasers, Video Game Players etc. These audiences
are based on DataLogix research into purchasing activity using credit
card info. Additionally, advertisers can target users who visit local movie
theaters, or target users who are specifically on a WiFi network in the
evening (see inset on using Location Targeting for Activation).
Researching different groups and developing strategies for segmenta-
tion before campaigns begin allows advertisers to gather insights during
initial campaigns that drive results in later campaigns.
12. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 10.
[ACT 2:]
“Filling the Back Rows”
As discussed above, Entertainment properties of all kinds have multiple
objectives, but the first, and potentially the most important is creating
awareness. No advertiser can afford to reach everyone in the world,
much less with enough frequency to make an impact, so the key is
defining how “broad” is broad. Typically this is driven more by budget
restrictions rather than what is available within the targeting platforms.
Facebook reaches 85% of most demographics every week. Instagram is
the #1 mobile activity for young millennials, and Twitter reaches over
300 million highly connected tastemakers every month, but which of
these are those most important to create awareness with?3
Early Testing
How many people shoud you reach? The easy answer is, “everyone who
cares about the content you are promoting.” As discussed in the previ-
ous section on Audience Research, Social media offers rich information
on users, and using this research, advertisers can make good projections
on which segments matter most for the success of a campaign. Based
on this research, best practice is to use very broad targeting across a
wide number of segments to gauge which groups show the most en-
gagement as an indication of which groups care the most about the
content. Typically this is done with 10% or less of the total budget. This
also represents an ideal opportunity to test multiple creative themes for
identifying which audiences respond best to which creatives.
13. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 11.
Ongoing Expansion
Based on the results of early testing, advertisers can identify
which groups are the most responsive defining those groups with
Demographic, Interest-based, and behavioral labels. For example,
“Young Males with interest in Science Fiction movies and accessing on
Mobile.” Additionally, advertisers should catalog each of these audienc-
es including the Cost to Reach them (Cost Per Thousand Impressions
[CPM]), the Engagement (either Engagement Rate or Click-Through-
Rate [CTR]), Cost Per Engagement (either by calculating metrics using
details above or other metrics like Cost Per Video View [CPVV]) and
the total size of the audience available on the platforms (# of Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram Users). If creative testing was executed this is an ide-
al table to capture which creative performed best for each group.
With this information it becomes much easier to prioritize the audienc-
es based on budgets and overall objectives. Achieving full saturation
with the most efficient audiences is paramount. Tools like CitizenNet
make it easy to add together “unduplicated” audiences for actual unique
users. Even without those tools, advertisers can get general ideas of the
largest and most meaningful audiences for their targeting. Other au-
diences can be prioritized based on gaps in the overall media plan (e.g.
using Instagram to deliver younger audiences that TV may be missing).
Typically, advertisers will use an additional 50-70% of their budget in
reaching these large groups with a low frequency during this phase.
Below is a discussion of different channels and the recommended
Tactics and Tools used in executing these campaigns.

14. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 12.
Facebook
Facebook has a few key characteristics that make it ideal for advertisers
promoting video content. Foremost, it has wide adoption and heavy
usage. Facebook typically reaches 85%+ of every demographic every
week. The average user spends nearly 40 minutes per day over almost
20 different interactions. This creates plenty of opportunity for engag-
ing with the target.
Secondly, Facebook offers robust video capabilities. Most entertainment
campaigns are using video ads promoting video products. Facebook
offers video targeting at the same price as static banners with no premi-
um. Additionally, Video content is well integrated into the Newsfeed,
the focal point for Facebook interaction. There is enough user gen-
erated video content in the Newsfeed that users do not immediately
assume a video is an ad. More than 60% of the video views on Facebook
take place on a mobile device, and in the Mobile Experience the video
ad fills the entire screen. Facebook’s auto-play videos give brands the
chance to capture the user’s’ attention without charge during the first
3 seconds, but they also offer the opportunity to track viewership by %
of video completed, or 10 second views etc. Although auto-play videos
begin without sound, advertisers can use subtitles to increase engage-
ment, and when a user clicks on a video it launches into a player with
full-sound. Not only does Facebook provide insights on the viewers who
engage with videos, but it also offers the ability to re-target only those
users who viewed the video.
Finally, Facebook’s Video product also delivers the most advanced
targeting available on any platform. Facebook aggregates more than
10 years of user data as well as information from activity off Facebook

(wherever sites have Facebook’s Open Graph integrated) as well as Apps
that use unified “Login with Facebook” features. Over 13 million web-
sites and apps use Facebook’s integrated login, including 35% of the web-
sites for the Fortune 5002
. This is further enhanced through integration
with Nielsen for true “Apples to Apples” comparisons of GRPs with
Television, as well as the ability to leverage user-login data to manage
frequency, even across device.
Facebook’s Reach and Frequency Buying
Because Facebook users are logged in whenever they interact with the
platform, regardless of device, Facebook can control frequency bet-
ter than YouTube or channels that do not require login. Controlling
frequency gives advertisers the ability to create awareness with more
individuals, instead of repeating the message to the same user over and
over, even if they are not interested. Facebook’s Reach and Frequency
(RF) buys can be booked 1-28 days in advance to run for 1-30 days. This
tool offers a simple way to achieve wide reach and broad awareness with
a specific target. Recently Facebook lowered the minimum audience
size, so now RF buys only need to target an audience of 400,000 (previ-
ously it was 1 Million) so even advertisers with smaller budgets can use
RF buys!
There are however, a few limitations to Facebook’s RF buys. RF buys
deliver ads to the least responsive / least expensive parts of the audience
first. Without fully saturating the target audience, advertisers reach
the least valuable segments. To combat this, CitizenNet has developed
a specific solution to maximize Reach and Frequency performance (see
Inset CitizenNet’s Enhanced Reach and Frequency Buying).
16. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 14.
Additionally, RF buys must be booked in advance and are essentially
non-cancelable (Facebook does allow cancellations, but only in special
circumstances and any advertiser that cancels too often will lose access
to the tool). Even though they are booked in advance and guaranteed
for delivery, they do not typically represent a discounted CPM for reach-
ing the same audience with Promoted Page Posts.
Finally, RF buys offer very few insights on which aspects of the audience
performed differently. For example, a buy targeting “Males aged 18-49
interested in comedy” will average the results of all users targeted and
it’s impossible for advertisers to see if 18-24 year olds were better or
worse than 25-49 year olds, or if those in major cities performed better
or worse than those in rural areas etc. Because RF buys require audi-
ences of at least 400,000 users, this may lead to averaging very differ-
ent sub-segments of the audience, making it hard for advertisers to see
opportunities to improve targeting. CitizenNet’s Enhanced Reach and
Frequency Buying (see Inset) can help with this problem. For non-Citi-
zenNet users, best practice is to create the smallest possible segments for
RF buys and run multiple instead of lumping everything together. This
will give better insights on performance. Be sure to create meaningful,
well crafted clusters based on real differences in the audience, and also
be careful not to set up overlapping buys if you are targeting a low fre-
quency and broad reach.

Twitter
Twitter’s ability to deliver against real-time conversations delivers an
ideal opportunity to create Awareness in a relevant context. Towards
this end Twitter has built specific targeting toolsets for finding new
relevant conversations and the users following them. In addition to tar-
geting keywords, hashtags, genres, and the followers of relevant actors,
or handles related to similar material, etc. Twitter delivers the oppor-
tunity to reach people actually discussing relevant content through TV
Conversation Targeting (TVCT) and Movie Conversation Targeting
(MCT) This feature makes it easy for marketers to know they are reach-
ing those users most engaged with the most relevant content.
Conversation targeting is a great way to extend the impact of offline
advertising as well. By aligning Twitter buys with shows that are part
of a TV flight advertisers can reach users on two channels to magnify
impact. Conversation targeting focuses on what matters most, interest
in a particular type of content, not demographics, which makes it espe-
cially powerful for entertainment marketers who are essentially selling
content.
Twitter’s Amplify product (see inset on Twitter Video) creates other
opportunities to reach audiences excited about other relevant content,
and Twitter’s Publisher Network extends Twitter Video Cards to over 1
Billion devices worldwide, creating the opportunity for extended reach
and broader awareness.

Instagram
As of this publication, Instagram is just moving out of early testing for
their ad products, but it’s already well established that Instagram deliv-
ers a younger demographic that is less active on other platforms. Using
Instagram to create awareness with an audience that is less exposed to
other more traditional media outlets is a perfect fit for entertainment
marketers targeting younger audiences. Instagram’s high-impact visual
platform with looping video lends itself well to Awareness objectives,
but the shorter video length does require more creativity to amp engage-
ment.
Savvy marketers, like Lionsgate with the launch of Age of Adaline, have
used Instagram to create broad awareness, and then re-target those
users who engaged with longer form content on Facebook, building fre-
quency with a specific audience and deepening the relationship.
All of Facebook’s targeting options are now available within Instagram
and CitizenNet is proud to be one of the first Facebook Marketing
Partners to offer Instagram advertising.

CitizenNet’s Audience Analysis
and Prediction
CitizenNet’s “Predicted Affinity” Audience model has
been proven to double the results that advertisers see
with social media. This technology leverages multi-
ple patents in natural language processing and semantic
analysis to predict audiences that will have a strong
positive response to specific messaging.
The system begins by analyzing a “Core Audience” of
high value targets. This core audience can be defined
as fans of a particular Facebook page or group of pages
(like similar film titles, the stars of the film, books
about similar topics) or the Twitter followers of a
particular handle or group of handles. Likewise it can
be built from a Facebook custom audience like website
visitors or an email list gained from previous market-
ing activities.
CitizenNet analyzes the current conversations this Core
Audience is having across the social web on Facebook,
Twitter, YouTube and elsewhere. From this data the
system can predict other areas of interest, demograph-
ics, and behaviors that can be used for targeting. For
example, the Core Audience might show strong overlap
with a particular YouTube channel, and then identify
content from that channel as interests for targeting on
Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
20. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 18.
This insight also helps marketers to identify themes
for creative assets. If there is strong overlap with
female celebrities, the marketer may choose images fea-
turing females from the content. If the audience shows
more overlap with action content, the advertiser may
pick more action oriented shots.
CitizenNet’s Predicted Affinity audiences help adver-
tisers scale and achieve reach without sacrificing per-
formance. In a recent example, CitizenNet’s Predicted
Affinity Audiences delivered 60% more reach at a near-
ly identical engagement rate resulting in 77 Million
more engagements than the marketer would have achieved
despite very robust targeting. In all, CitizenNet’s
Predicted Affinity audiences were responsible for 38%
of the total engagements.

[ACT 3:]
“Filling the Front Rows”
Blockbuster success depends on developing two different audiences
with two different objectives. Marketers must create Broad Awareness
with the largest possible audience of people who may be interested in
the content, but additionally, they must create Deep Engagement with
the sub-segment of the audience who will become the Evangelists and
Ambassadors for the content. Because there is frictionless sharing in
social media, these Ambassadors can have a dramatic impact on the
earned exposures, and there is no better ad than a friend’s recommenda-
tion. It may be useful to think about the “front row” audience who buys
tickets in advance and brings their friends with them to see a movie, and
the “back row” audience who decides to see it last minute or with little
deliberation. It takes both to fill a theater.
To effectively deliver on both of these objectives, marketers must ap-
proach them differently. The large awareness audience should have low
frequency, so budgets can maximize reach (as described in the previ-
ous section). Those sub-segments of the audience that show interest
however, should have higher frequency, with more unique types of ad
creative. This deepens their enthusiasm and maximizes response. With
these audiences, a higher frequency is optimal, but marketers must be
have diversity in their creative assets to avoid exhausting the audience
by showing them the same ad over and over, boring the fans.
22. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 20.
Creating Segments for Better Insights
Learning from the earlier awareness focused campaigns, advertisers can
identify sub-segments that deliver the best response. It’s important to
note that the native reporting tools within Social Media channels do not
provide much insight on different segments within one audience target,
so it is vital that marketers set up their campaigns initially to include
multiple different segments with different clustering characteristics to
allow for later optimization. For example, at CitizenNet we will often
create different audience segments based on users interested in different
aspects of a show or movie, typically including some of the following:
• Actors in the show
• Author of original book / IP
• Similar Movies / TV shows types or subject matter (these can be
very granular “Buddy Movies vs. Stoner Comedies” etc. We try to
create clusters similar to the category descriptions in Netflix
• Hobbies or Activities featured in the content
Setting up audience segments of between 500,000-3,000,000 based on
different keywords grouped by these categories can be a powerful way
to gain insights and even shape messaging strategy. For example, if the
“Actors” segment is large and has the strongest response, it indicates
that ads should feature the actors prominently, etc. Best Practice is to
create between 5 and 10 segments, ensuring that each of the keywords
included in that segment share similar audience characteristics (e.g. they
are similar in age and gender) as a way of creating appropriate clustering.
23. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 21.
Facebook’s Audience Insights Tool is an invaluable resource for finding
interests to develop these clusters. Additionally Google insights will
highlight Movies or TV shows in a genre that may be useful for target-
ing. Amazon’s recommendation engine and IMBD are also great places
for inspiration.
Based on how these different clusters performed during the broad
awareness phase, Marketers can now begin to separate the “Front Row”
audience from the “Back Row” audience and use different strategies and
tactics to deliver against the different objectives.
For the Back Row audience, it is often largely about balancing high reach
with the lowest acceptable engagement. Based on testing in the ini-
tial phase, there are often indications about which audiences are more
interested than others, so delivering media to the largest groups with
some engagement is the best plan for this audience. Use insights from
the earlier campaigns to tweak messaging strategy and continuously
test and optimize creative during re-freshes to ensure it doesn’t go stale,
even as you are trying to reach new audiences. A good rule of thumb is
2-3 new pieces of content every week. Video content has a longer usable
life than pictures, so that number will change based on what is available.
For the Front Row audience, now is the time to explore what makes
them unique. Based on the different segments used in the initial testing
phase Marketers should try to find commonalities that suggest a partic-
ular messaging strategy or different ads. These insights also offer direc-
tion on expanding the audience. If the “author” segment as described
above is performing particularly well, advertisers should find other sim-
ilar authors that can be added to expand the audience. Based on these
learnings, marketers should look to build frequency with varied types

24. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 22.
of content including behind the scenes footage, interviews, concept art,
trivia, etc. All these different pieces help the Front Row audience feel
personally connected to the content, which encourages sharing, and
builds enthusiasm. Shareable content is particularly valuable as this
group is more likely to spread the word about the launch. It’s important
to find ways to add variety to the content here. High frequency with the
same trailer or commercial used in every other outlet can make them
apathetic.
All of the channel strategies referenced in the previous section make
sense during this phase, but with revised objectives (increasing frequen-
cy with the Front Row audience, and maintaining engagement while
achieving saturation with the largest possible Back Row audience).
Additionally, other tools work particularly well here.
Video View Retargeting
Facebook’s Video View Retargeting makes it very easy to retarget those
users who engaged with previous videos with new videos, or photos etc.
This is particularly useful for message sequencing which can dramatical-
ly increase engagement as users are actively looking forward to receiving
the next video that tells the next part of a story. This same functionality
on Instagram, or even targeting Instagram Engagers on Facebook and
Facebook Engagers on Instagram works very well.
Although not part of the native targeting tools, it’s possible to build
audiences like this on Twitter as well. CitizenNet has developed similar
capabilities for retargeting Twitter engagers, and has seen equally high
results.
25. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 23.
Facebook’s Reach and Frequency buying tool is ideally designed for this
as well, giving advertisers the option to target the Back Row audience
with a low frequency, achieving broad penetration and awareness, then
using subsequent campaigns to increase Frequency with the Front Row
audience amplifying excitement (See Inset CitizenNet’s Enhanced Reach
and Frequency, for more insights on how to maximize this tool).
26. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 24.
CitizenNet’s Enhanced Reach and
Frequency Buying
Facebook’s Reach and Frequency Buying is a powerful
tool for marketers of Entertainment properties who
need to achieve broad penetration with a wide audi-
ence to create awareness for a TV show hoping for big
ratings or a Movie looking to win the weekend box of-
fice. There are however some limitations to Reach and
Frequency (RF) buys.
RF buys provide almost no detail around the performance
of different sub-segments within the target. For exam-
ple, an Adult 18-49 targeted buy delivers to that demo-
graphic, but reporting is averaged for males and fe-
males and all the age cells. If males respond at twice
the rate as females, the marketer will never know, and
so future targeting cannot benefit from this insight.
Additionally, RF buys deliver first to the easiest to
target and least expensive portion of the audience.
It’s very clear when using the Reach and Frequency buy-
ing tool that there are different breaks in CPM with-
in the audience (see image). Clearly Facebook deems
some users in this audience more valuable than others.
However, if an advertiser does not have enough budget
to completely saturate the target at the desired fre-
quency, the more expensive (and often more responsive)
audience is the one that’s missed. CitizenNet tests
consistently show that Reach and Frequency buys that
27. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 25.
completely saturate the target audience enjoy much bet-
ter performance metrics than those that do not -- re-
gardless of the size or other targeting.
Based on these two insights, CitizenNet developed
Enhanced Reach and Frequency (ERF) buying. ERF ana-
lyzes a target audience, like Adults 18-49, and based
on the advertiser and their objective, will create
sub-segments that are predicted to respond differently
that can be executed as individual Reach and Frequency
buys (maintaining exclusion between the sub-segments).
These sub-segments provide insights on audience target-
ing (identifying different interest categories or age
cells / genders) and ensure that marketers completely
28. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 26.
saturate the target, guaranteeing that the most valu-
able, and most response segments also see the ad with
the desired Frequency.
Although buying audiences in this way is more effi-
cient, it can be more expensive, purely looking at the
raw CPM. However, the response rates are so much high-
er that the overall Cost Per Video View, or other Cost-
Per-Engagement Metric is always more efficient than
Reach and Frequency buys that only saturate an incom-
plete portion of the target audience.
For non-CitizenNet clients attempting to achieve this
same result, we recommend analyzing your audience using
Facebook’s Audience Insights Tool and Ads Manager to
identify segments that are large enough for a Reach and
Frequency buy, but small enough to allow for complete
saturation with the allocated budget. Try segmenting
based on interests to better define the audience and
gain even more insight based on differing response met-
rics.

“Opening Night – Driving Tune-In
and Monetization”
Regardless of how much awareness or interest there is, unless people
actually take action and view the content, there isn’t really much point,
so this final section on driving action may be the most important.
However, because this builds on success from the previous two phases, it
is also in some ways the most straightforward.
It’s worth noting that different types of content, even within the
Entertainment vertical, have different monetization strategies with
different action objectives. While a major movie may be targeting
ticket sales at the weekend box office, Day and Date releases may be
targeting Video on Demand purchases (see inset Location Targeting
for Stimulating Action). Likewise, branded content may have multiple
objectives, like increasing subscribers for a channel on YouTube, AND
building views on any channel to fulfill guaranteed impressions. Some
of these objectives are more time constrained than others, and as such,
different marketers will approach this phase differently. For a “launch”
as in a typical movie or TV show, marketers may focus 50% or more of
their budget on the days leading up to the launch, whereas evergreen
content hosted online may balance the Tune-In messaging more evenly
with the broader awareness and deepening engagement objectives.
For those marketers aiming for a big launch, Twitter’s ability to target
real time conversations can be particularly powerful in conquesting rel-
evant conversations. For example a movie studio might target everyone
mentioning weekend movies, or even more specifically, they may target
Tweeters mentioning similar competitive movies opening on the same
30. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 28.
weekend. Likewise, targeting relevant TV shows and those conversa-
tions is equally powerful for building momentum.
Facebook and Instagram’s tools for retargeting previous video view-
ers make it easy for marketers to re-engage with individual users who
previously showed interest, and to broadly target those largest audience
segments with meaningful engagement rates. Despite the platform or
tactic, it is important that messaging during this phase has a strong and
clear call to action and effectively communicates where and when users
can go to view the content, be it a movie theater or an online platform.
Typically advertisers will use many different creatives of many different
types to drive anticipation during this phase. Calendar invitations to
viewing parties, Countdown Clocks, and critic reviews are all successful,
and marketers will generally push out 7-10 pieces of new content during
this phase (typically a week or less), as opposed to only 2-3 pieces of con-
tent in previous weeks.

Video - Lights, Camera, ACTION!
For marketing entertainment properties, video is un-
doubtedly the medium of choice, and the options for
delivering high-quality video to targeted users have
dramatically improved in the last year, with Facebook
delivering ever increasing capability, Twitter launch-
ing new ways to deliver Video Cards, and Instagram
launching video as one of the initial ad types for the
advertisers.
FACEBOOK VIDEO
By now it is clear that Facebook video is a huge and
growing opportunity for advertisers, but it is a unique
environment with specific needs. Facebook counts any

view of longer than :03 seconds as a “view” which is
different than YouTube, where a “view” is typically
closer to :30 seconds, except for short clips.
All Facebook videos autoplay, so it is important
that advertisers make a compelling and striking im-
pression in those first few seconds to stop the user
from scrolling through their newsfeed. Because of
this scenario, Title Cards / Green Cards etc. should
be moved to the end of the video whenever possible.
Additionally, because videos begin playing in mute
we have noticed a dramatic improvement in engagement
through using sub-titling -- as much as a 85% lift (see
case study graph)! This is particularly important for
videos with voice-over, or where the dialog drives the
engagement - like dramas.
Facebook also offers the unique opportunity for video
sequencing with Video View Retargeting. Because all
users are logged in, marketers can know with 100% cer-
tainty that they viewed the first video in a series be-
fore showing the next. This provides powerful options
for creative storytellers!
33. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 31.
TWITTER VIDEO
Twitter’s Video Cards are specifically designed for
video marketers, but beyond Cards Twitter has other ca-
pabilities worth exploring. Twitter’s Amplify product
matches brands to content creators with the opportuni-
ty to run videos before other high-value video content.
For example, one client, targeting Hispanic audiences
for a theatrical release, paired their shortest trailer
with highlights from a soccer match between two Latin
American teams. Twitter users saw a still image of
a scoring play with a description of the clip. These
clips hit Twitter very soon after the play, making them
timely and “must see” videos for fans. After launching
the video users see a brief pre-roll video ad (ads must
be :06 seconds or less). Because these units are pre-
roll, before premium content, they deliver very strong
engagement and can help extend a co-branding opportu-
nity or deepen the connection with an audience in a
“lean-in” environment.
INSTAGRAM VIDEO
Instagram’s highly visual environment makes videos
even more powerful. It’s important to remember that
100% of Instagram engagement is mobile, so the con-
text is different than what may happen on Facebook or
Twitter. In light of this, Instagram videos are sig-
nificantly shorter (max of :15 seconds vs. :15 minutes
on Facebook) - but they do loop, creating even more in-
teresting opportunities. Clever marketers have created
“animated gif” style motion graphics and images where

only 1 portion of the image moves, making for very com-
pelling looping images. Movie studios have done this
with great success working with images from their post-
ers. Remember, all Instagram posts are square, even
the videos, and Instagram does not allow framed hori-
zontal videos with black bars at the bottom, the video
must fill the square. Instagram content should be cre-
ated specifically for Instagram.
35. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 33.
Location Targeting for
Stimulating Action
Location targeting offers unique opportunities for ad-
vertisers to create hyper-relevance through understand-
ing the users’ context. This can be particularly mean-
ingful to Entertainment marketers targeting a specific
environment.
For example, with Social Media it’s easy to target
users specifically when they have a WiFi connection.
Knowing the user is on a higher-speed, more reliable
connection, makes it easier to predict a pleasant view-
ing experience for internet streaming or downloading
content. Additionally, Facebook’s GPS features track
users who haven’t logged out of Facebook, so it’s fair-
ly easy for Facebook to predict when users are at home
vs. at work regardless of the time of day. Targeting
users at home with a WiFi connection makes messaging
for streaming content even more relevant and likely to
generate a response, especially if they’re sitting on
the couch wondering what to watch!
In the same way, Facebook’s ability to target users
when they are not home can be equally powerful. For
movies opening only in specific cities, marketers can
build lists of the actual theaters playing the film
(particularly useful for IMAX theaters). Based on
this, Facebook targeting can deliver ads only to those
users within a 1 mile radius of the theater, like per-
36. Patented technology for Social Media Advertising 34.
haps those in the same shopping mall as the theater.
For even more granularity, advertisers can choose to
only target people who live in the area, but are out
shopping, rather than people who may be visiting the
area on work, and so are therefore less likely to par-
ticipate in a leisure activity like seeing a movie.
When combined with the other sophisticated targeting
mentioned in this guide, this type of location target-
ing can generate truly blockbuster results.
