The Mxit campaign attracted 112,688 new users to the 'Did You Know' app in just three months, alongside TV engagement.
Andrew Kramer, VP of sales comments, "The result of the campaign highlights how integrating mobile and TV strategies can be an effective marketing tactic. Building on the 'Did You Know' legacy, the social media platform offered the brand an opportunity to engage directly with its target audience and effectively encourage participation with the brand on the TV platform.
"Allowing viewers to influence the content of TV is today a completely viable option through mobile. It is an ideal opportunity for marketers to capitalise on the high levels of engagement via Mxit. As the popularity of multi-screening grows, it is fast becoming crucial for marketers to develop a multi-layered approach to content distribution which enables interactive engagement across the various channels."
