We Can Find Them

• Gamer sites (GameFAQs, IGN, UGO, GameSpy, etc.)
  rank highest in audience composition against
  Males 12-26, and high against Consumers 12-26
• Social networks such as MySpace rank lower in
  composition against Males 1226, and about even
  against Consumers 12-26
• Music Labels artists are often overexposed on
  certain social media sites (ex. MySpace), yet
  underserved on sites their key audiences are on
• These facts create tremendous opportunities to
  efficiently speak to key demographic audiences in
  a less cluttered environment

There is very little record label advertising on
gamer sites, based on an advertiser review of
the top 5 sites

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.
