Execution
Simultaneously partnered with both of the Canadian youth networks (MuchMusic & MTV) and launched the competition by sponsoring the biggest music award show.
We used this sponsorship to drive viewers to a special microsite where consumers were encouraged to submit entries via text, photo, and video.
We created new sponsorships on the networks’ websites to continue to promote the competition.
We built the Top 10 Superfans an Artist Shrine online, populated with the user’s media submissions to demonstrate their Superfan-dom to the world and linked them to sponsored Facebook & MySpace pages.
Contestants used these (& Youtube) to reach out to their social networks in an attempt to garner mass votes. To choose the final winners, we sponsored special editions of MuchMusic & MTV’s shows creating game-show-like content throughout each programme.
