Methodology

•  Using  Brandwatch,  we  listened  to  relevant  menGons  and  conversaGons  over  a  period  of  two  month:  •  Reviewed  conversaGon  volume,  numbers  of  fans  and  

followers,  and  trending  topics  •  Analyzed  branded  content  on  branded  social  media  

channels.  •  Date  queried:  March  1  –  May  9,  2014  •  LocaGon:  U.S.  only

Top  Sites:  

Defiance Social Media Audit Branded  Channels:  •  Facebook  Fans:  336,414  •  TwiWer  Followers:    34.6k  

Men4on  History  

Social  Men4ons:  •  Volume:  1556  •  SenGment:  

•  188  (12%)  PosiGve  •  344  (22%)  NegaGve  •  1024  (66%)  Neutral  

•  Announcements:    The  volume  of  conversaGons  around  Defiance  could  be  low  because  the  show  is  currently  on  hiatus.  However,  there  was  an  increase  of  menGons  about  season  2  YouTube  videos  on  April  9th,  and  May  8th  when  the  new  season  trailers  were  released.  Another  popular  topics  in  the  past  two  months  was  that  Linda  Hamilton  was  guest-­‐starring  on  the  show.  Fans  generally  got  excited  about  show  announcements  and  news.  Syfy  can  capitalize  on  this  interest  by  providing  teasers  before  any  kind  of  announcement.    

•  Show  vs.  Game:  There  were  many  menGons  about  Defiance  the  game  as  well.  Since  games  and  sci-­‐fi  communiGes  are  closely  connected,  Defiance  can  benefit  greatly  by  an  integrated  cross-­‐markeGng  strategy.  

•  Branded  Content:  Branded  content  such  as  D-­‐Fact  and  a  unique  take  on  Cinco  de  Mayo  post  saw  an  increase  in  engagement,  especially  in  shares.

•  Dis4nct  Voice:  Helix  Facebook  and  TwiWer  accounts  have  a  very  personal,  disGnct  voice  that  shows  a  genuine  excitement  about  the  show.  People  share  its  senGment  by  retweeGng  and  favoriGng  posts.  

•  Branded  Hashtags:  All  of  the  spikes  in  the  conversaGon  surrounded  branded  hashtags  that  celebrate  program  specific  announcements  and  content.  (Ex.  #HelixBDay,  #RenewHelix  and  #Helix500.  )  

•  Variety  of  Images:  Although  the  majority  of  the  content  on  the  Helix  Facebook  page  is  sGlls  from  the  show,  these  images  vary  in  sizes  to  add  variety  to  the  pages  visuals.

Top  Sites:  

•  Strong  Emo4ons:  Compared  to  Helix  and  Defiance,  Sharknado  brings  out  a  stronger  reacGon  from  people.  They  either  love  it  or  hate  it.    

•  Sharks  +  Pop  Culture:  Sharknado’s  posts  that  combined  pop  culture  and  sharks  had  a  higher  engagement  rate  than  Sharknado  2  promoGonal  tweets.  

•  Sharks  =  Sharknado:  Sharknado  lei  such  a  strong  impression  on  people  that  whenever  they  see  anything  shark-­‐related,  they  immediately  make  a  connecGon  to  Sharknado.  This  could  present  an  opportunity  for  us  to  play  off  shark-­‐related  content  and  trends  in  social  media  and  direct  those  fans  to  Sharknado.  

•  Men  Like  Sharknado  More:  Our  data  shows  that  men  not  only  have  a  majority  of  the  conversaGon,  but  the  difference  between  male  and  female  engagement  during  conversaGon  peaks  is  also  bigger  compared  to  Helix  and  Defiance.

The Opportunity: More Variety

•  Across  all  social  media  channels,  posts  that  featured  current  events  or  used  new/meme-­‐like  formats  got  a  higher  engagement  rate.    

•  Defiance’s  D-­‐Fact  series  •  Shark-­‐ifying  famous  figures    •  Helix’s  homage  to  “Keep  Calm”  poster  

•  Diversifying  social  media  content  is  an  effecGve  way  to  present  a  fun,  fresh  approach  to  fans  and  potenGal  viewers  alike.

The Opportunity: Branded UGC Campaigns

•  All  three  shows  have  a  passionate  fan  community  that  shares  their  love  through  user-­‐generated  content.  While  Syfy  is  doing  a  great  job  by  retweeGng  and  featuring  fans  in  their  TwiWer  stream,  there  is  an  opportunity  to  further  the  engagement  by  creaGng  a  branded  UGC  campaign.    

•  Fans  will  appreciate  that  Syfy  is  acGvely  listening  and  engaging  to  their  passion  for  the  shows  while  Syfy  can  benefit  by  having  suitable—and  fan-­‐approved—material  that  can  increase  fan  engagement  and  further  the  overall  markeGng  strategy.
