The art & science of social media movie marketing

Description

This panel will explore the psychology and artistry behind making social media work for the motion picture industry. Why do people share movie-related content on Twitter and Facebook? What gets shared the most? How do we know what's effective?

Social networks like Twitter and Facebook provide an effective, open channel for studios to spread the word about their projects, and for fans to talk about their favorite movies. From designing original creative and content intended to be shared in social media, to monitoring and responding to social mentions, the panel will discuss real examples of what has worked in social media, what hasn't worked, and what might work in the future. Panelists have worked on social media campaigns with film studios like Sony, Fox, Universal and Lionsgate.
