Last night was the final episode of the Fox8 reality TV show Football Superstars. We looked after the online promotion of this show. One of our tactics was to create an official Facebook Page. We knew their audience used Facebook and that it would be a great way to keep an on going dialogue with these fans.
We found an existing page for Football Superstar, which we took over from a fan from last season. The group had 347 fans. It was amazing how effective the Facebook Advertising was for finding fans of the show. We grew the group to well over 5,400 fans.
It will not win any awards but god damn it was effective with a ridiculously low cost per acquisition rate of 20c.
4. Key Learnings
1. Female Skew
We originally set the advertising to just Male (14-23) but what we found was that the show had a strong female teen audience, who were actually the most vocal online.
Page Demographics
Demogaphics on who was interacting
2. Stars were active
A number of the stars from the show were really active on the page. This was great for fans to feel closer to the show.
3. Facebook Pages still have a few glitches
You cannot create an event that invites everyone from a page to an event, this is a little annoying. However the Status updates get amazing responses and a great upgrade.
4. Some things are out of your control
State of Origin and a Soccer Final on the same night as your finale and launch is going to seriously affect your ratings.
Update on MasterChef
I wrote a review of MasterChef's Digital Strategy earlier in the year, they are now doing a great job with there Facebook Page, check it out. I cannot believe Justine got the chop.
