market.

the jump was postponed and delayed.
• Red Bull ‘s Twitter strategy provided up to the second updates and incredible images to
generate Red Bull buzz, influencing the audience to tweet and retweet over the few days

Launch Plan
Prior to the actual event:
Strategy focused on engaging the audience via social media and multiple
interactive elements talking about the team members, technological advances and
challenges, and the scientific data that will be recorded from the mission.
Interactive elements included live chats, a platform to allow consumers to ask
questions to the team, and a multi-platform event RSVP tool that unified social
invitations across all platforms.
Result: 2MM new accounts subscribing for Red Bull updates within 15 days
before the event. Giving Red Bull permission to continue building a relationship
and creating ongoing interactions.
For the final mission:
Created easy ways for fans/customers to share on various platforms, including a
Twitter integration on the YouTube page, plus a well-planned approach to
distribute official Red Bull hashtags - #Spacejump #RedBullStratos #LiveJump
#Stratos.
 Result: More than 1MM unique users contributed to the conversation on
multiple occasions extending and creating authentic engagement. There were
more than 2MM unique user actions, as the audience’s Twitter posts increased as
the event drew closer, igniting constant conversation. 5
Audience Engagement

they launch people to [the] edge of space and let them jump? Sold.”

Summary
Danielle Long coined Red Bull as the king of branded content and the posterchild for
transmedia storytelling in her article Red Bull goes stratospheric, published October 25, 2012 on
http://theonecentre.com/bar/blog/red-bull-goes-stratospheric-with stratos-project
The success of Red Bull Stratos is summed up well by Sarita Harbour in her article Red Bull Stratos
Project Takes Content Marketing to New Heights, published October 17, 2012 on
http://www.contentstandard.com/content-marketing/red-bull-stratos-project-takes-content
marketing-to-new-heights/
 Short snappy headline: Red Bull Stratos, just three words, effectively conveys the company name and event’s
purpose (jumping from the edge of the stratosphere). Plus, it is short, snappy, and an easy-to-search and
share keyword phrase.
 Red Bull knows their customer: This event appealed to the target audience, capturing their attention quickly.
 Event Ownership: Red Bull invents and partners with extreme sporting events that are synergistic with their
customers’ affinities. Plus, they own media properties, including magazines, apps and feature films, which
adds more depth to solidify their brand essence.
 Reflect your brand, don’t sell it: Red Bull uses subtle and effective branding throughout each
platform/medium (i.e., logo on YouTube video) Content first, Brand second. Red Bull invites the
audience/consumer to participate, instead of just talking at them. A key element of Transmedia Marketing.
 Create content people want to share: Red Bull Stratos was exciting , entertaining and engaging content that
people wanted to share.
 Native Transmedia Style - Elements of each platform fit together encouraging consumers to consume the
content, share it, become brand evangelists, and buy more Red Bull products.
