As the Election ‘04 heated up, the Bakersfield Californian
newspaper and its television partner, 29 Eyewitness News (CBS),
wanted to let their audience voice opinions on changing local
and national issues.
In order to build viewership during November Sweeps Week, San
Francisco’s WB20 (KBWB) teamed up with NetInformer to launch
a premium text message TV contests where viewers of “King
of the Hill” used their cell phones for a chance to win
$50,000 cash prize.
Looking for new ways to target the youth market, The Bakersfield
Californian launched a mobile advertising campaign for their
client World Records to help boost slowing CD sales.
