A Twitter Case Study

Preview of the STX Entertainment Case Study

“Bad Moms” creative campaign starts movement on Twitter, boosts box office success

STX Entertainment wanted to make “Bad Moms” more than a movie launch by turning it into a relatable, women-focused social movement on Twitter. Using Twitter’s ad products, the studio needed to reach the right audience, spark engagement, and build buzz around the comedy with a campaign that felt funny, interactive, and authentic.

Twitter helped STX Entertainment execute the campaign with auto-responses, Custom Audiences, Reach & Frequency buying, a custom “spilling wineglass” branded emoji, and crossovers like #TheBachelorette. The results included 10K opt-ins and 45K video views from the auto-response tactic, 3.3M video views at $0.04 per view, 103K+ emoji mentions, 63M organic impressions and 169M total impressions, plus 16.2M highly targeted impressions.
