ViralGains Clients Marry Content and Distribution to Win Three Digital Oscars
Annual MITX Awards Show Celebrates the Intersecting Greatness of New England’s Tech, Creative, and Marketing Communities
BOSTON, May 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Three visionary online video advertising campaigns top “the Oscars for all things digital” for their innovative integration of content and engagement-driven distribution.
Best Integrated Media Campaign
Through the World’s Toughest Job campaign, Mediahub/Mullen positioned American Greetings as a socially relevant and innovative leader in the space, helping to drive a massive increase in Mother’s Day sales. With over 24 million views and unrivaled social conversation and engagement around the brand, the campaign is the ultimate testament to the importance of pairing great content with equally great distribution.
Best Use of Online Video for Content Marketing (B2B)
Video is the white-hot area of content marketing. Vistaprint made noise with the viral digital video campaign The Postcard, a heart-warming use of the medium that seamlessly engages viewers across TV and digital, and engages small business with the idea that everything they create matters.
Best Social Responsibility Campaign
The bright minds at Mullen co-won the category with its Flying It Forward campaign for JetBlue. This innovative initiative drove both social impact and social conversations, leading to deeper brand affinity and brand engagement for JetBlue.
ViralGains, the leading video distribution solution for driving engagement, honors the amazing achievements of its client partners on Thursday night.
