Evaluation
The evaluation of the original campaign has been amended to specify what tools will
be used to measure the campaign objectives and why these tools can be useful.
Tweet deck will be used to measure the objectives by recording and monitoring the
amount of followers the account receives and see if it reaches it target of 5,000
followers in the first 2 months.
Tweet deck also monitors
• Tweets
• Re-tweets
• Twit-pics
• Quotes
• Hash tags
Facebook insights can also be used to measure the engagement and followers the
campaign receives, to measure the success and see if the objectives have been
achieved.
Facebook insights analyses
• Trends
• Sharing
• User growth
• Demographics
• Consumption of content
• Creation of content
Foursquare will simply be measured by the check in’s it receives from event goers.
This monitors the amount of people who attend the events and subsequently who
has been engaging with the social media campaign.
Another way to measure and evaluate a campaign could be through the use of the
new Value metrics matrix PR tool. Introduced in 2010 and re-inventing the AVE,
VMM’s do just look at published articles and magazines for content, it looks into all
the publicity, where it has gone and it if has an outcome of action from customers, by

measuring for example how people attended an event, not just where the event was
written about.
Lastly a way to really measure who has been engaging with the campaign and taking
action is to create online surveys and questionnaires. Paine.K, 2010 (p.g112) says
‘Online surveys are most organizations first choice these days…the advantages are
low cost and quick turnaround.’ The surveys will be promoted through social media
for event goers to complete after they have attended the events. This shows us the
number of people we have targeted online and measure how many people have
been influenced. However a motive will be needed for event goers to complete the
surveys for maximum results, these could be free ferry tickets.

Appendix D: Concept for Isle of Wight Music Viral Video The concept for the ‘Isle of Wight revival’ promotional video would be described as a
comical spoof, in the style of a music video. Using the combination of comical value,
joined with a chart topping song, will make this video viral.
The video was inspired by some of YouTube’s biggest music video hits. These
being: Rockstar by Nickleback, How to save a life by The Fray and Were all going on
a summer holiday by Cliff Richard, these videos are all memorable for a different and
effective element. The midnight beasts have become a popular YouTube hit in the
UK, for their home made, parody videos. This influenced the style of our video as
they attract more than 70,000 hits per video. A Homemade video promoting an
official Island has rarely been done before. This concept brings new ideas and a
refreshing outlook on the Isle of Wight.
The massive YouTube hit Friday by Rebecca Black, not only encouraged a
homemade styled video but mostly motivated the idea of bringing a comedic element
into the video. The Rebecca Black video on YouTube received over 25 million hits
within 5 months, making it viral and a buzz was created over it. Although this video
went viral for different purposes, the main aim is to promote the Isle of Wight revival
campaign.
Being a musically inspired themed video, the inspiration for the track being used
came from the song Domino by Jessie J, which reached #7 in the iTunes chart. This
piece of music is very uplifting with a lot of rhythm and most importantly a happy
feeling with a catchy tempo to set the tone and atmosphere for the island, making
this video one to remember and with its popularity already in the chart means it
already shows an appealing element to the audience.
The concept of the video is to introduce the audience to the events of the Isle of
Wight that occur all year round. The video follows various characters, on their trips
and adventures in the Isle of Wight and their excitement of the preparation for the
trip. It also presents ‘Jimmy’ the camper van mascot, of the campaign to create a
familiar understanding and a recognisable icon to the audience. Being one of the
sponsors of the campaign, Hunters Wellington boots also play a big part of the ‘Isle
of Wight Revival’; therefore the boots will be fashioned throughout the video.

The purpose of the video is to sell the Isle of Wight to new and old visitors; using a
range of locations and characters means it shows the island to be versatile. To keep
the video interesting the use a slapstick element of humour, creating a mimicking
effect that was shown successful in other parody videos.

Appendix G: Ford Fiesta photo app
Research has shown that most campaigns have been developed through twitter and
Facebook and all ends up looking the same. After Fiesta conducted their research
they saw that Instagrams, photos were the new hot tool and grabbed the chance to
integrate this into their twitter campaign.
‘Named Fiestagram, the campaign asked Instagram users around Europe to upload
photos in numerous categories, each one was associated with one of the car’s high-
tech features. Tagged with the campaign name #Fiestagram, each week would see
a different technology feature being highlighted such as #music, #hidden, #entry and
upload their photo with the appropriate hash tag.’ http://prexamples.com
