Best Buy Canada - Facebook Video Contest

The Challenge:
In cooperation with Weber & Shandwick, E-axis’s goal was to create a sophisticated and user-friendly application to facilitate a user-generated content video contest.

The Execution:
The project involved the design and development of a custom application that integrated Youtube functionality into a Facebook page.  Visitors were prompted to “Like” the page in order to participate in the contest in one of two ways – either by submitting a video to the contest or simply by voting on the videos that had been submitted by others.  Commenting, voting, and sharing tools are all examples of functionality that was developed to maximize Fan engagement and subsequent brand exposure and participation.

The Result:
In just a month's time, this short campaign generated much interactivity and engagement from target Facebook users.  For example, there were over 20,000 total number of votes cast and the average number of votes cast per video was approximately 400.  Ultimately, the desired goal of associating the year’s latest and greatest electronic devices with new and existing Best Buy fans was clearly achieved.

Astral Television Networks is very pleased to have worked with E-Axis.com. The two games they have recently developed for us are proving to be some of the most popular games on family.ca. Their first game, "Scream Catcher" developed for our Halloween promotion, recorded an amazing 508,335 plays in its first two and a half months, and the second game, "Snowball Olympics," is already up to 269,781 plays just three weeks after its launch. In short, if you are looking for top quality and innovation I would definitely recommend E-axis.
