In a recent interview, Chris Le’Cand-Harwood said that “social media is what great marketing has always been: word-of-mouth.” It’s true! The success of any social media campaign has to do with the “buzz” it generates online. And that’s exactly what Twitter’s Instant Unlock Cards are all about.
As explained in the animation below, Instant Unlock Cards motivate users to Tweet, by offering access to exclusive content in exchange for Tweeting some branded content. A movie trailer, an exclusive Q&A, or anything else in fact. Amazing, right?
