Case Study: HBO-Latino ‘Sex and the City’ • Client: HBO Latino • Media Used: Internet • Objective: The goal was to engage Hispanic entertainment enthusiasts online to drive tune-in awareness for the final season of ‘Sex and the City’ on HBO Latino. • The Challenge: The messaging had to be enticing and strategically targeted for relevancy. We needed high reach and high share of voice vehicles to drive as much traffic as possible within a two-week period. The online media also needed to be consistent with the look and feel of the traditional campaign strategy. • The Solution: We secured prominent media placements in relevant areas of select targeted properties to consolidate maximum share of voice on those properties. Rich media assets were used to tease the upcoming season. User polls were created to promote interaction with the target audience and facilitate viral activity. • The Results: During the course of a two week flight, over 70,000 users interacted with the campaign, at an average CTR of 1.30%. The campaign over delivered planned media by 119%.
