Flickometer

The brief:

Amplify Orange’s sponsorship of the BAFTA Film Awards across social media platforms by engaging the target audience on the Orange BAFTA site, while integrating a wider breadth of conversations from across the web about BAFTA nominees.

Poke’s answer:

We created Flickometer; a real time data visualisation of Twitter activity around the BAFTA Awards, the nominees and the eventual winners.

Nitty gritty

Using a custom-built search algorithm, Flickometer trawled Twitter for chat about BAFTA – from discussions the awards and the nominated films, performers and creatives, to feedback about the eventual winners (and losers).

It was a one-stop social cinema shop: not only did Flickometer gives users the ability to gauge the overall noise around key BAFTA topics, users could read individual tweets relating to the awards and engage in the conversation themselves by tweeting straight from Flickometer. For those who needed a better briefing on the films in the competition, we incuded a built-in function to allow users to watch movie trailers from within the Flickometer itself.

In order to broaden the reach to the target audience, we identified key on Twitter and integrated their opinions on who should win and why into the Flickometer.

Highlights

  • Assembling and working with a crack multi-agency team including Poke, Smesh (http://smeshup.com) and Sennep (http://www.sennep.com).
  • Winning a Marketing Week Data Strategy Award. Glam! 

What happened

Users spent on average double the amount of time on Flickometer pages than any of the other pages on the Orange BAFTA site (source: Google Analytics).

In terms of reach, tweets including both ‘Orange’ and ‘BAFTA’ numbered 5,649. Over half of these tweets were retweeted and of these, half were retweeted more than 50 times.

Overall Orange BAFTA tweets reached an audience of over 5.6 million Twitter users. Identifiying and targeting key Twitter influncers when it comes to film allowed Orange to reach a far wider target audience that just those users who were viewing the main Orange BAFTA website.
