SubscribeSan Diego Asian Film Festival @SDAFF on Social Media
As the San Diego Asian Film Festival (SDAFF) is runs strong in it’s 11th year this October 21st- 28th at the Mission Valley UltraStar Hazard Center Cinemas, it’s a great time to recognize how Social Media has revolutionized the power of both event marketing and the movie industry. Social Media has been instrumental in the growth of the film festival for both the event and individual movies.
SDAFF’s Marketing Director, Daniel Matthews shares that “Social Media has allowed us to connect with our audience in ways that weren’t available before. We’re able to personally stay in touch with everyone that we’ve connected with at the festival and create a stronger brand within the community”. With film screenings that pop up throughout the year they’re able to market for those screenings virally. The San Diego Asian Film Festival also uses Social Media to help with contests and promotions during the film festival.
At Marketing Melodie, we support local initiatives of organizations who provide value, education and entertainment to San Diego and recognize events that have strategically incorporated social media into their marketing plan.
