Mass Relevance partnered with ABC’s Dancing with the Stars to broadcast Facebook conversations throughout the show - for the first time ever.    

Public Feed API allowed Dancing with the Stars to capture conversations happening on Facebook from public feeds and sources. The Keyword Insights API allowed Dancing with the Stars to anonymize, break down, and transform status updates, comments, and likes into demographic data. For the premiere, this meant that as fans and viewers shared their thoughts on Facebook, Dancing with the Stars was not only able to showcase Facebook comments on-air, but also reveal a demographic breakdown of social chatter by age, gender, and location.

88% of content produced on Facebook around the show was created by females.

The Advertising Platform Formerly Known as Mass Media Advertising communications channels have always offered their audiences a value exchange. For instance, TV provides entertainment experiences in return for advertising and indirectly a cable fee, magazines present an edited cornucopia of material on a selected topic in return for a cover price and advertising.

Social media and digital advertising are currently testing the limits of their value exchanges by expecting consumers to provide specific information about themselves or their behaviors, which the digital properties can subsequently leverage in targeted advertising.

now younger consumers’ growing sense of entitlement gained in the digital world (where information was often offered at low or zero cost) is shifting across all channels. We only have to look at the emergence of TV cable cord-cutters or the growth of services such as Bit Torrent for evidence of this. Bit Torrent has increased its audience by over +70% in the last two years to a monthly audience of 23 million users.

Viacom is taking steps toward offering advertisers guarantees for the social media impact it can give them.

The resulting measurement platform -- dubbed Echograph -- will bring a level of accountability to social media that has yet to be seen from TV networks, Mr. Lucas said. It will let Viacom give clients data on reach, influencers, engagement, age and gender breakdowns and hashtag popularity, among others.

clients can make use of Viacom Echo Social Media Network, which tailors Velocity-created campaigns for social media.
