Fiestagram Case Study By: Stephanie Holsinger
Description • Ford Motors introduced a photo contest in October 2011 on their Ford Fiesta global Facebook page • The contest would be used to help market the 2012 Ford Fiesta—specifically its new technological, innovative features • Participants would submit photos via Instagram, a popular mobile photo-sharing application
Description • Contest would be limited to Europe to help promote the vehicle in that region • Each week, a new hashtag was introduced on the Facebook page– each representing a feature of the Fiesta: • #hidden • #shapes • #music • #starting • #entry • #listening
Description • Participants submitted creative photos that represented the hashtags • Used the hashtag specific to that week along with the hashtag #Fiestagram • Photos would then be judged by a diverse, professional panel and participants could win prizes • Ultimate prize = 2012 Ford Fiesta
