Along those lines, CNET’s integrated campaign for this year’s show was fan-focused in an uncommon manner (read: it featured more than some free T-shirts). At the CNET Base Station, located near the convention center, there were prize drawings and a 360-degree camera (which, of course, uploaded to a live online gallery). Online, there were augmented reality games and tie-ins with every extant social media platform.Find the complete list of 2012 OMMA Awards Finalists

Our hero is a 14-year-old, “BugEyes,” who has uncovered the evidence and is sharing it via a blog, videos and Twitter.

This campaign made me want FiOS. Every possible digital asset was used here to seamlessly familiarize the audience with both Prometheus and Verizon FiOS, beginning with a microsite that uses Verizon assets to explore the spaceship (with a sweepstakes to go to the premiere at the end), followed by exclusive videos, a live Twitter chat with Damon Lindelof, and an exclusive live stream of the red carpet, with interactive interviews and videos. The campaign ended with over 120,000 Facebook fans engaging with the brand up to three times more often …
