"The Academy Awards are one of the biggest nights for brands to advertise; companies spend millions of dollars for a 30 second TV spot. That being said, it's also one of the biggest nights for social media, with viewers live tweeting and commenting on everything they're watching on the TV - including the commercials," said Bryan Segal, Chief Executive Officer of Engagement Labs. "Brands have the opportunity to capitalize on this second-screen experience by leveraging what's trending in the live broadcast through their own social channels. That is exactly what Netflix did on Twitter. Throughout the awards ceremony, Netflix engaged with their followers about the movies that won or were nominated that are available on their platform."
