Objectives

Introduce W25-54 Kitten Bowl fans to the next installment of this special event and bring awareness to our corporate pet adoption initiative.

Attract new viewers & animal/cat enthusiasts with social tactics that feature our signature over-the-top “cat/kitten” cuteness.

Strategy and Execution

Live-event support: Coverage of the live taping event Road to KB VII on Facebook, via Facebook Live, Twitter, Instagram/Stories and Snapchat. Custom Snapchat filter was created for this event.

Live Tweeting of the event- #KittenBowl Trended for over 6+ hours the day of the event.

Social Content: Capitalize on trending hashtags and content such as branded images, videos, gifs, memes, motion posters, countdown to Kitten Bowl posts to engage the audience.

Talent: We executed a Facebook Live with Beth Stern, Instagram Takeover to support her media tour in NY, coundown shout-outs with talent including Rashad Jennings, Boomer Esiason, Beth Stern and more.

Social Interactions:  Experiences such as 360 videos, cat center behind the scenes videos, thematic posts centered around pet adoption and cat care, a Digital Cat-lete Card Creator where fans can upload their own pet and share to friends, giveaways with Kitten Trading Cards did well with the audience. 

Influencers:  We worked with cat personalities such as Nala Cat and other cat influencers. Also, partnererd with lifestyle/women bloggers and influencers in our core audience who helped live tweet in addition to the blog coverage. Momspark organized a Twitter party prior to the premiere to incentivize fans to live-tweet and get #KittenBowl trending.
