Cox Watch Parties—a social sign-up, sign-in microsite that enabled sharing, live discussion, contest, expert commentary, exclusive video footage and photos, and live updates during televised events.
Traffic came through to the site via social media, including Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. The initial goal was 5,000 unique visitors. For the first event, HBO's Pacquiao vs. Marquez boxing event, coxwatchparties.com had 89% more visitors than hoped, and saw a 54% lift over forecast for PPV purchases.
