Consequence was people were tweeting to each other, discussing what Moonfruit was and it’s products in a humorous or factual way. Unlike a traditional campaign where you have one shot at the message the twitter conversations evolved from humourous tweets to factual tweets to content creation about our campaign , products and services. Giveaway turned into a creative competition and then best Moonfruit website competition. Critical you stay on top of the campaign.600+ youtube videos500+ pictures200+ moonfruit ‘competition’ websites http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=moonfruit&search_type=&aq=fhttp://picfog.com/search/moonfruitWe have stabilised at 30k+ Twitter followers up from 400.Newsletter opt in increase x2 daily.PR:Global broadsheet, vertical and blog press, predominantly UK and USCost: 10 macbookpro’s and 10 iPod Touches - £9,000Better than expected: Twitterers engagement and ongoing creativity with brand.Our speed of response to campaign as it changed and adapting to the needs of the twitter audience. Volume of tweets, number of new followers, SEO impact, increase in global traffic, in particular US.Global press/blog coverage.Unexpected Issues: Got bigger faster than we expected. Campaign had to keep changing to respond in real time. Time intensive. Someone senior in the business needs to stay on top of campaign to make decisions.Spam. Some tweeters, weren’t being creative and just throwing out the hashtag. Because the Moonfruit topic was trending spam bots were being used to follow people who sent out the #moonfruit. Resolved by unfollowing people or blocking spambots. Twitter also removed from trends list. We also reduced length of competition to respect Twitter and Twitterers.Be interesting to cost up the campaign if we had tried to get these results from Google adwords, traditional PR and traditional marketing channels?Hope that helps.Wendy
