The Challenge

The Solution

- Develop a blog ambassador program partnering with popular African American bloggers to preview episodes show and drive traffic to a custom Facebook tab housing sneak peek video footage. The editors’ content was also featured on the tab.
- Live Tweet episodes alongside the blog ambassadors to spark Twitter trends, retweets from celebrities, and overall praise for TV One for airing the series.
- Leverage Facebook media to increase overall messaging and widen fan base.
The Result
- Day of premiere saw an increase in Facebook engagement of over 400%.
- Garnered over 5,000 Facebook fans in a one day period
- Sparked organic 1 National Trending Topic on Twitter on premiere and saw a total of over 20 National Trending Topics throughout the season
- Received over 500,000 editorial impressions through blog ambassador programs with The Huffington Post, Ebony.com, Global Grind and EUR Web – all leading to increased social awareness.
