Update: NBC Mailing Campaign #EATTHERUDE
For those of you unaware, we have1 weekto convince NBC to keep Hannibal on for a second season. In this time we are choosing to inundate NBC’s NY office with business cards to let them know we mean business, Fannibal style.
Even if you aren’t able to send a business card in the mail, you can still create one in time for the show this Thursday. That’s right. We’re combining the mailing campaign with a twitter campaign in order to get #EATTHERUDE trending on twitter.
This is something that everyone can be involved in, no matter where they live.
WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT?
It is really important that our views are counted, even if you aren’t one of the lucky 25,000 in the US to have your views counted.
Having Hannibal related tags trend on twitter while the show airs gives networks like NBC more concrete data on exactly how many of us are watching. Trust me, they will be paying close attention to this.
WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO?
1. Show yourself
Take a photo of yourself with your business card/s
ready for tweeting just before the show this Thursday. (If you are outside the US, please check your local Hannibal air time/date for when to tweet!) The plan is to tweet our pics, along with the hashtag #EATTHERUDE in order to trend during the episode!2. One hashtag to rule them all
#EATTHERUDE is this week’s hashtag - tagging #Hannibal won’t result in trending. As Twitter puts it: “Twitter Trends are automatically generated by an algorithm that attempts to identify topics that are being talked about more right now than they were previously. The Trends list is designed to help people discover the ‘most breaking’ breaking news from across the world, in real-time.”
If we keep tagging #Hannibal each week (or any other common word) we will to keep topping ourselves in order to compete. This is why we need a different hashtag each time :)
ALSO NOTE: #EATTHERUDE must be the only hashtag present in each tweet - otherwise it simply isn’t counted. For reals.
3.No points for early check-in
Please make sure you are online at the right time, in order to make the biggest impact. We want to appear on the scene out of nowhere and take twitter by surprise! I suggest starting no earlier than 1 hour before Hannibal airs, continuing through until the show finishes.
