Users can upload videos to their local microsite, sharing travel tips and favourite holiday moments, with holiday prize incentives. In addition to user-generated video, the microsites will feature user ratings, video navigation and other interactive features. The co-branded campaign will be promoted across the Yahoo! European network, with a focus on Yahoo! Answers.
Blake Chandlee, director of media sales, Yahoo! UK & Ireland said, “This is a fantastic example of how online marketing can work successfully with social media. By providing interesting and unique content – not just simple branding – we are enabling Sony to engage and interact with a key audience in very meaningful way.”
Nicolas Fidry, Handycam® senior marketing communication manager, Sony, added: “We are really excited about this activity because not only is it something that has not been done before, it’s a unique way for us to really connect with a key audience. Inviting user video, ratings and reviews and leveraging the Yahoo! platform will enable us to strengthen these relationships further.”
