Opportunity

With the low number of sales and awareness of the T-Mobile CallerTunes, Real Networks and T-Mobile approached twtMob yet again to promote one of their charting CallerTunes in a creative and fun way.

Solution

twtMob matched Monica to promote her song "Here I Am" with a contest where people could win a day at the studio with Monica and a personalized recording or a song dedicated to them. People had to set their default CallerTune to "Here I Am" and retweet a message to enter. Monica would then call people live on Ustream to hear the CallerTune and tell the winner they won.

Results

The contest reached over 15 million people and drove over 25% of those that clicked to text in the shortcode to get the CallerTune, with 1 in 10 of all traffic purchasing a Monica ringback tone. Not only that, but the Ustream was viewed live by thousands of people.
