We focused communication on the individuals engaging with the music video ad. Facebook fans were a key component in this brand campaign and their basic engagement allowed to us to maintain communication on an ongoing basis, and through retarget marketing, we could continue building a relationship. This was effective in driving engagement and shares as it portrayed the brand/artist as very personable, open and responsive.

​

The campaign itself began a dialogue between the viewers and the artist that directly impacted the artist’s bottom line and his future. Millions of users who viewed the video were moved to tears, shared their family stories, emailed the artist, downloaded the song, signed up for newsletters, commented, liked and shared.

​

The campaign was and is a massive success. In just the first 8 months, the video reached 19,000,000 views, 1,000,000 likes, comments and shares. In addition, the artist’s page gained 65,000 likes, placing him at 115,000 total page likes. This rapid growth opened up opportunities for future touring, merchandise sales, brand partnerships and tour sponsorships.
