88 THE POWER OF VISUAL STORYTELLING their existing information, allowing them to quickly register interest. This eliminates tedious steps in persuading followers to come to your site to register their details, and it integrates the website and Twitter experience in a seamless and slick visual manner. There have been some imaginative ways to use the visual side of Twitter to run some recent marketing campaigns. Volkswagen Brazil used the fast-paced buzz of the social media site to create a storm of excitement around the country’s largest—and sold-out—music festival, the Planeta Terra Festival in São Paulo, which was sponsored by Volkswagen to pro- mote its new cool car, the Fox. Volkswagen hid tickets around the city and pinpointed their location on a microsite using Google Maps. The catch was that the map was zoomed all the way out—and the only way to make it zoom in to show where the tickets were hidden was to tweet the hashtag #foxatplanetaterra. The more times the hashtag was tweeted, the more the map would zoom in. For four days, fans raced around the city to get to the ticket giveaway locations, and the campaign hashtag stayed the number one trending topic in Brazil the whole time. What a creative blend of all 88 the strongest features of Twitter! Diet Coke wanted to promote women’s heart health as part of its relationship with health organization the Heart Truth. The company held a contest in which people were asked to tweet or Instagram pho- tos that showed something heart shaped using the official hashtag #ShowYourHeart. Coca-Cola pledged to donate $1 to the Heart Truth for every photo shared through February 7, 2013, and five winners were invited to the Red Dress Collection Fashion Show held by the Heart Truth in New York City. Thousands of people entered, generating awareness for the cause and for Diet Coke’s association with the Heart Truth, and thousands of dollars were raised to help heart health. This inventive and altruistic campaign worked because it inspired people to think about the heart motif in a holistic sense: how the heart shape and heart health are part of their own lives. It created positive associations in people’s minds about the Coca-Cola brand and its work with good causes, and all through a simple visual message.89
