The Launchpad6 solution
NA-KD searched for a platform to meet their needs and found ContestPad. It had everything they needed “out-the-box” at a very affordable price.
“ContestPad was exactly what we needed and nothing else in the market that we happened upon came even close” says Evan Thomas, Head of Social Media at NA-KD.
Leveraging ContestPad NA-KD were able to create a custom designed contest micro-site with full video gallery, voting and seamless video upload forms. The site was styled to align exactly with NA-KD’s and Danny’s branding requirements.
The contest was also backed by automated configurations that made certain everything ran according to the contest rules. The solution ensured entry periods, voting restrictions, entry moderation, entry video streaming and social sharing was all taken care of without NA-KD having to worry.
Each participant was invited to create a video of themselves performing Danny inspired songs. Participants then promoted their entries on social media to friends and family to solicit votes.
The results
NA-KD received some absolutely phenomenal entries that demonstrated extraordinary talents. Entrants received a combined vote count of more than 16,600 votes, 36,000 views and attracted over 11,000 video plays over a few weeks. They also had a huge uptake in social engagement and brand awareness among Danny’s many millennial fans.
Once the voting was complete 2 winners were selected, one by Danny and one from the public voting. The winners won a trip to Gothenburg with two tickets to the The Run(A)way Show, a meet and greet with Danny and 1000€ to shop for at NA-KD.com. The contest and platform achieved and, in some cases, exceeded NA-KD’s expectations.
