Internet marketers are turning more and more to social media to help build online buzz around television shows, internet TV, theatrical and DVD releases of blockbuster and independent movies. Some marketers are experimenting with creative new ways to use less-heard-of social network websites such as Twitter to help achieve their online marketing and buzz-building goals.

It’s common to see TV & movie Internet marketing campaigns include Facebook and Myspace marketing strategies, but in coming months, as Twitter begins to get more traction, we expect to see more video, television, movie & entertainment marketers experimenting with and finding success using Twitter as part of a well rounded social media marketing campaign. Such a campaign could involve a Blog, microsite, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Flickr, and other online marketing resources.

As an online community of people writing text-based, miniature-scale Blog posts of no more than 140 characters, it’s not immediately apparent how Twitter could be used in movie or television internet marketing. But Twitter isn’t just another instant messaging tool. Twitter holds great potential for movie and television producers, directors, distributors, networks, PR teams and internet marketers for online communication, collaboration and relationship building with investors, internal teams, and targeted viewers.

Using Twitter, we see film & television developers & promoters coming up with new ways to reach their targeted audiences that include:

• providing insight and commentary in real time (i.e. on location during shooting)
• promoting special contests, sneak previews
• facilitating collaborative video production experience
• building conversation about the movie or television season or individual episodes
• opening dialogue between promoter and promotion participants
• movie & television website traffic generation
• promoting events such as movie premiers
• posting press releases

If, for example, during the making of a film a well known actor, actress or director posted regular Tweets via Twitter via their mobile phone it’s conceivable that hundreds if not thousands would follow and engage these immediate, seemingly intimate, “insider” posts.

Already, many TV networks such as ABC Family, NBC, CBS and MTV are experimenting with Twitter as a way to reach younger, tech-savvy audiences. MTV used Twitter to promote its MTV Music awards on June 3, 2007. The Disney-owned ABC Family network used Twitter to launch a new show called “Greek”, offering text updates and behind-the-scenes glimpses from cast and writers. NBC plans to use Twitter to drive traffic to a targeted MySpace page. This fall, CBS will be using Twitter to promote its new shows.

What other do you see movie & television marketers using Twitter? What would you like to see a Hollywood or BFI film try using Twitter as part of their social media marketing campaign? Do you think Twitter to promote movies or television shows is more or less powerful / effective than building email lists or facebook groups to try to achieve some of the same goals listed above? Hence, when I did movie marketing for a website before 6 months ago I found twitter at 21^st place for driving traffic towards to my movie website.

But now I’ve been learned a lot by communicating and understanding movie website promotion from the scratch to end, so happy movie marketing with twitter.
