Viral Campaignusing Chat Bots
By leveraging the power of bots we were able to create a campaign that significantly increased engagement by harnessing the power of Facebook Messenger.
Over 1.2 billion have this app installed, and are used to using it as a primary source of communicating with friends. By creating a bot to converse with an audience, it creates a more organic interaction. And manages to evade the usual bounce rates of traditional sales emails.

Due to this more organic approach the bounce rates were drastically less, and the engagement resulted in record high numbers.
List Page and Like growth was significant, and the bot was also extremely effective in attaining newsletter subscriptions. Joy Mangano’s audience were receptive and open to this form of viral marketing as it resembled their every day chat activity.
