Overview

Execution

The Live Groundhog Predict-a-thon unfolded in real time on Facebook and Twitter. When people asked the groundhog a question, it was posted on their wall and broadcasted to their friends. If someone asked us a question through Twitter, we responded directly to their Twitter profile.

At the end of each day, we created a highlight video and shared it with our 2.3 million followers on Facebook and on our YouTube channel.

The Predict-a-thon was promoted through TV bumpers and radio ads, all driving traffic to the social experience.
