• Objectives:

o 1. Raise awareness for the coming film, with particular emphasis on reaching a younger audience than the band’s conventional narrow 40-50+ fan base

o 2. Use mobile to establish a continuous 1-to-1 channel to the fan base both pre- and post- launch

o 3. Collect detailed data and feedback from potential audience to support future sales of film-related products such as the DVD

o 4. Generate excitement and buzz among fans and mass media by offering a unique experience around a mobilized concert event

o 5. Ubiquitous and immediate access to the film promotion, from sign up through ticketing, commerce, and in-venue interaction.

Case Study

• Action:o One week prior to the film premier, a free live tribute concert was held in the

Tokyo’s Roping Hills Arena, featuring several of Japan’s top bands and artists performing covers of Rolling Stones songs featured in the film

o Fans were given mobile triggers to preregister for a chance to win tickets for the concert via their phones.

o Preregistered users received personalized branded mobile home pages and were entered in a series of timed drawings to win concert passes that were also loaded with additional digital premium content via QR codes

o Winners’ phones were scanned at the venue on concert day to claim free tickets, branded goods, mobile content, discounts on F&B, upcoming tickets, and entry in a jumbo-screen mobile competition for special Rolling Stones merchandise

Case Study

• Result:o Over a 2-week period, the campaign registered nearly 6,000 respondents via mobile

phone, an oversubscription of more than 6x capacityo 90% of all winners claimed their mobile tickets to attend the event, with 1,000 winners

and invitees attendingo Media buzz about the special mobilized event was considerable, and resulted in

promotion and coverage on 3 TV networkso The platform also recorded detailed metrics and other data including audience

composition, geographic origin, response rates, and other feedbacko Platform succeeded in reaching and drawing an audience significantly younger than

previously possible, with the average attendee age falling to 32 More than 10% of concert attendees purchased tickets for the upcoming film, which

delivered leading numbers at the box office at launch

Case Study

• Objectiveso The Seattle Supersonics endeavored to increase

fan interaction and participation during games at the encouragement of the NBA

o The team wanted to find a way to personally interact with fans on a mass scale and, at the same time, develop an opt-in list for subsequent promotions

Case Study

• The Supersonics rented a shared short code allowing them to immediately launch their program and take full advantage of the upcoming season

• At first, calls to action were to rally fans around event proceedings, i.e. texting in to request a song. Invitations to text in were announced over the PA system and on the jumbotron during games

• The team began mixing in trivia questions and user polls with the opportunity to win team autographed memorabilia. The text-to-win approach garnered a much stronger response, especially when paired with a question/poll that fans felt strongly about.

Case Study

• Participation was further boosted by establishing a schedule of regular announcements so that fans could anticipate when those announcements would be made and take it upon themselves to ensure they didn’t miss out

• Next, the team realized there were revenue opportunities with text messaging and began appending an offer code for discounted ticket purchases on the return text that thanked the participating fan for entering a text-to-win promotion

Case Study

• Resultso By the end of the season, the Seattle Supersonic’s opt-in

list had grown into the thousands, with hundreds of participants interacting at every home game. And adding the discounts paid off, with an additional 610 tickets sold and upwards of $19,000 of additional revenue generated through related ticket sales and store merchandise purchases

o Campaign cost was around $1,290 for the entire season

Case Study
