This interactive marketing campaign, complete with a graphic and accompanying article from the Wall Street Journal, explores the 167 startups valued at 1 billion dollars or more. By allowing readers to move through the information in a variety of ways, the Wall Street Journal is able to connect with their audience, no matter their reading and learning style. The dynamic graph interacts to mouse hovers on both the graph and the text. There is also an option to “play” and let the graph teach you the information as it moves through a timeline of the included companies’ growth. This interactive content marketing approach allows consumers to connect with the Wall Street Journal on a more personal level than most articles, fostering brand loyalty and ensuring their content sticks out from the crowd.

The slideshow walks readers through a tale of two heroes who meet a wise old crone who shows them the path to reconciliation.

By bringing in a whimsical element of storytelling and allowing consumers to explore the story in their own fashion, the brands were able to foster interaction and make a lasting impression with interactive content marketing campaigns.

The TV show Locked Up Abroad on the National Geographic channel has been on the air for a long time. To generate excitement around the show and keep watchers actively engaged, the brand created an interactive map of the episodes available online. By allowing consumers to click around on a map and see episodes broken up by general category like “Kidnapped” or “Caught in the Act” as well as by location on the globe, the brand gave consumers the power to find and watch episodes that interest them better. The added element of interaction gave their viewers more control to search through episodes in a way that differs from many services. The fun interactive approach keeps watchers engaged in a long running series.

WIRED’s “An Interactive Conversation with Joss Stone”:

Bringing interactivity to video in a new way, WIRED conducted an interview with Joss Stone and then gave watchers the ability to click around through topics in the interview, creating a “Choose Your Own Adventure” feel to this interactive marketing campaign. By allowing consumers to choose the topics of the interview that interested them, the brand created interaction and a lasting impression on their watchers. This engaging interactive approach to video creates an exciting campaign that consumers are motivated to share and remember.

By keeping your consumer’s needs top of mind and actively aiming to foster and increase two-way interaction with your brand’s content, you can create interactive marketing campaigns that go the extra mile and make a difference. You’ll be able to see the effectiveness of interaction as your key progress indicators continue to hit their marks of growth!
