This is a sponsored case study submitted by Tonic Media, illustrating the social media promotions for the television premier of The Amazing Spiderman on Sony PIX.
The client
Sony PIX is India’s premier English movie channel.
The agency
Tonic Media is a leading digital agency with operations in India and UAE, specializing in end to end digital marketing services globally.
Problem Statement
News, society, media never cease to shock us with scams and scandals around us. However, seldom do people or media talk about the positive and goodness around us. The truth is that there is an ‘Amazing’ superhero quality in each one of us’ but often goes unacknowledged by others.
Identified Objectives
1. Promote the TV premier of The Amazing Spiderman on 16th June 2013 through an integrated digital campaign.
2. Ensure sustained viewership for the movie in this day and age of channel swapping.
3. Reach out to the Super Hero fanatics across age groups and excite them about the return of their favourite super hero in this reboot version leading to viewership.
The Strategy
The strategy was to celebrity the innate goodness and amazing qualities of people around us by encouraging users to acknowledge ‘Amazing’ people around them and tag them in the ‘Web of Amazing People’.
The campaign was divided in 3 phases where Phase 1 was used to establish ‘Amazing’ deeds of Hollywood & Philanthropic Celebs. A hashtag #PIXAmazingPeople was launched on Twitter which was trending for the 1st 2 days of the campaign on Twitter. It was also trending worldwide for a day.
Phase 2 took Hollywood relationships as reference and encouraged users to look at special relationships around them and acknowledge the superhero ‘Amazing’ qualities of these people. The microsite ‘Web of Amazing People’ was launched to showcase the web of amazing people. The microsite was a platform to establish an emotional connect with the users and encourage them to tag friends who they think are amazing. We emphasized on the words ‘amazing’ and ‘web’ which resonate with The Amazing Spiderman.

Users could sign up with their Facebook accounts on the website. The website automatically pulled the list of Facebook friends and the user could tag their ‘Amazing’ friend. Along with this, they had to answer a simple trivia question about the movie to enter a lucky draw and win Spiderman merchandize. The friends were tagged and would receive a Facebook notification which further redirected them to the website. This was a viral campaign which was integrated with television promos on Sony PIX, social media and digital banners, directing people to join the web of amazing people.
Phase 3 was launched on the day of the premier, 16th June, 2013. On the day of the premier, the microsite evolved to the next level. An interactive live game was integrated with the telecast and with the microsite. During the telecast of the premier, Spidey codes were flashed at various intervals and users had to spot these. A total of 4 codes were to be spotted and submitted on the microsite. 1 lucky winner who followed the process of tagging and entered all the Spidey tags correctly could win a trip to The Amazing Spiderman studio in Los Angeles.

Twitter Contest with #PixAmazingSpidey and Facebook posts were used to drive traffic to the telecast and the Live Integrated Game. #PixAmazingSpidey was trending on the day of the Premiere and created excitement amongst users getting superb reviews on the campaign.
Results
1. In just 7 days, over 31,000 people were tagged by Users as a part of the amazing web online.
2. Over 750 people participated in the live interactive game and submitted codes online.
3. The hashtag #PixAmazingPeople which was used to direct traffic on the website was trending in India on day 1 and day 2 of the campaign all day.
4. The hashtag #PixAmazingSpidey was trending during the telecast of the premiere in India and Worldwide.
Key Lessons
1. People readily react to popular personalities and instantly relate to them.
2. Another important learning was people want to be associated with positive words like amazing as well as express their feelings out loud on social media among their close friends and family.
