dwinQ Creates Native Advertising for the Hobbit Premiere
Berlin, Germany (PRWEB) December 19, 2013 -- Facebook hired dwinQ, the first social media operating system for events, to enhance the Hobbit premier experience for 500 VIP guests and at the same time create viral content on their News Feed. Professional photographers with dwinQ’s patent-pending platform were capturing exciting moments on the red carpet and scanning each RFID-enabled VIP pass so that the professional grade pictures posted in real time to Facebook on the VIP’s News Feed. These pictures were seen by more than 132% of each guest’s friends – a measurable viral impact during the launch given the fact that each guest had on average 240 friends.
“The guests loved the fact that their friends could see them with the movie stars on the red carpet in real time. The best part was that the VIP’s enjoyed the moment and had a great time.’ Commented Elke Karskens Facebook’s platform Marketing & Communications Manager, ”dwinQ’s platform made it easy to share and by putting the Hobbit logo on a frame before the photo posted, boosted the prominence of the movie branding.”
“Social media at events will be one of the biggest trends for marketing in 2014. It’s genuine content from the guests and it is very effective native advertising, or product placement on social media. If you sponsor that content with Facebook’s advertising platform it becomes even more powerful” explained Patrick J. Sweeney II President and CEO of dwinQ
dwinQ’s social media operating system is a cloud-based platform that securely manages the identity of guests, individual sign on mechanism (such as RFID cards, bracelets, NFC chips, mobile phones, QR codes etc.) and correlates each identity to a specific social media account such as Facebook or Twitter with seamless accuracy and security. Guests can opt-in to have dwinQ post photos or videos from an event in real time and have those photos show up on their News Feed and timeline so they can share the moment without lifting a finger. On-site the dwinQ platform is connected to very high quality digital SLRs and self-serve photo or video kiosks. There are more than 600,000 people on the dwinQ platform world-wide sharing their precious memories.
Facebook has engaged dwinQ’s platform at events world wide for the past two years.
