This ‘battle of the tweets’ football campaign pitted Real Madrid and Barcelona fans against each other to promote Spanish mobile network Movistar. The firm worked with MediaMind to engage with the target audiences, achieving dwell rates 3 times higher than the national average. The campaign invited fans of Real Madrid or Barcelona to tweet for their team and demonstrate support via banners on ElMundo.es.
Using interactive rich media advertising on ElMundo.es, Movistar got readers to demonstrate their passion for soccer, with real time tweets appearing in the ad. More than 300,000 users viewed the campaign. The campaign used the homepage of ElMundo.es as a huge screen based on a new masthead format of 990x250 . The average Dwell time of users interacting with the campaign was 53 seconds and average dwell rate 17.27% nearly 3 times the Spanish benchmark of 6%.
“The most striking thing is that the rate of impressions with dwell time was almost three times the average for the Spanish telecommunications sector, confirming this new format of ElMundo.es as great brand placement” – Cesar Alonso, Head of Online Advertising at Movistar
