Presenting the "Naka-Choko" #PlasticSuit Trojan Artwork and Hasthag Contest

Dear Fannibals,

Two very important notes first:

1) We'd like to turn the @DeLaurentiisCo's recent tumblr post as a major call to action.

• Please try to convert as many tumblr Fannibals as you can over to twitter. Here are two good "how to use twitter" tutorials (Click links):  Beginner and Intermediate
• Here's this week's NBC Hannibal fan ad sponsor campaign: TUMS
• In any tweet, you MUST include #Hannibal. Each tweet must have a MAXIMUM of two hashtags, or else the trend will lose velocity. Do NOT use three hashtags. 
• So, ad sponsor tweets this week will say: "Thank you @TUMStweets #InDIEgestion #Hannibal." NBC mid-episode tweets will include their hashtag AND #Hannibal (recent example: #LassLives #Hannibal).
• Tweets 3 hours before to 3 hours after the broadcast count for Nielsen twitter ratings, so go nuts!

2) Please tell your followers on Facebook and Tumblr to watch NBC Hannibal LIVE, Friday 10pm/9c. Here's a post with a sample image and more information.

#PlasticSuit Trojan contest details:

To encourage as many Fannibals to participate in Friday night live tweeting and in the ad sponsor campaigns as possible, we're selecting TWO winners to represent S02E10 ("Naka-Choko", airing May 2nd), one for the image and one for the hashtag. 

WHO: Open to ALL Fannibals, all ages.

WHAT: Come up with a hashtag and/or image for Trojan; we'll use the winners during broadcast of S02E10, Friday, May2nd. Trojan is not on twitter, so we'll redirect fans to their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Trojan

WHEN: Contest is open Wednesday, April 16th, 12pmEDT to Monday, April 28th, 12pmEDT.

WHERE: Share any image or hashtag submission with hashtag #PlasticSuit on tumblr or twitter. Use the tag feature on tumblr or the #PlasticSuit hashtag on twitter so we can see you and record your entry. Please be sure to use the hashtags to be included.

WHY: Episode 10 is a special week, we're in the home stretch of Season 2, and we'd like to encourage more live tweeting and active participation.

HOW: Results will be announced with the release of the Trojan campaign on Monday night, April 28th. Judges: @ViolinCatherine @Aughmonica @M_Verger @Dr_duMaurier @SesLionne

GO NUTS!

Love,

Team Hannibal

#VerizonWireLass: @VerizonWireless Fannibal Thank You!

Hello Fannibals!

Please tell everybody to Watch LIVE and watch their DVR recording within 3 days (DVR + 3). The show must be watched in its entirety on DVR and NOT deleted before viewing. Online viewing does NOT affect the Nielsen ranking. Here's a project to help pull in more Nielsen viewers: 

http://hannigramthings.tumblr.com/post/79179687265/hannigramthings-hello-dear-fannibals-as-you

This week's ad sponsor campaign:
1) Please send a thank you tweet to @VerizonWireless during Friday's episode, including both hashtags, #VerizonWireLass AND #Hannibal. 

2) Optional: if you are a Verizon Wireless customer, or if you have some funny ideas, feel free to tweet a photo or Vine video. If we get some really creative submissions, a little bird told me the producers might give out a prize! 

Here's a great NBC Community Yoplait Vine video from @Gurty: https://vine.co/v/MKxlgb20QP7

3) We're actively encouraging submissions of Hannibal/Verizon Wireless themed art to be shared on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. Anything you tweet to @Violincatherine or @DelaurentiisCo along this line WILL be shared!

4) Please use our #VerizonWireLass hashtag leading up to this week's episode.

A couple of things to mention, since there are a lot of questions: 

5) We're trying to keep Hannibal on NBC, and there are several successful past fan campaigns that managed to do things like that. Focusing on the ad sponsors is a proven method to stay on US broadcast TV. Participation is not mandatory, it just helps us a lot.

6) If you tweet #VerizonWireLass, PLEASE include #Hannibal in the same tweet. This will help keep the Nielsen twitter ranking #1. Worldwide Fannibals can help the most, because the Worldwide twitter trend is extremely valuable to ad sponsors. I'm actually trying to mention all the ad sponsors during the broadcast, so if you see any of those tweets on http://www.twitter.com/ViolinCatherine, PLEASE join in and say thank you, too. I will use hashtags other than #VerizonWireLass for those tweets (sometimes just #Hannibal); you'll have to see what I'm doing in real time. An ad dollar is now buying a twitter trend and brand recognition overseas through the Fannibals: that's HUGE.

7) Check into TV tag once during broadcast, since it is an "unofficial" Nielsen ranking (we've been #1 every week, so keep up the good work!): http://tvtag.com/tv_shows/hannibal

Please share the attached image (see below) across all social media platforms, okay? And feel free to create a special avatar to be used on Friday -- perhaps something with Hannibal and Verizon Wireless.

#EmbraceTheCulture Fannibal Yoplait Thank You!

Dear Fannibals!

As you know, a big part of what keeps any TV show running on broadcast networks in the US is its ad sponsors. In the past, when fan groups worked on extensive ad sponsor campaigns, the ad sponsors lobbied the network to keep the show around. We need to line up every bit of support from NBC that we can, okay? And no purchase is necessary; just a tweet helps us. 

Also, if you can tweet ad sponsors while Hannibal is on air with active global hashtags, that is worth serious money to each ad sponsor (a sponsored US tweet is $200K), so please try to help us do that on a weekly basis.

We will select a different ad sponsor every week to thank during the remainder of Hannibal Season 2. This week, please join us in thanking @Yoplait (from parent company General Mills, who also creates Progresso soup, Cheerios, Muir Glen pasta sauce, and natural food line Cascadian Farm).

Please share the attached image (see below) across all social media platforms, okay? And feel free to create a special avatar to be used on Friday -- perhaps something with Hannibal and Yoplait.

Here's the strategy: 

1) Please send a thank you tweet to @Yoplait during Friday's episode.

2) Optional: If you can, please consider purchasing some Yoplait yogurt this week, and then tweet a photo or short video or Vine with your yogurt. If we get some really creative submissions, a little bird told me the producers might give out a prize! 

Here's a great NBC Community Yoplait Vine video from @Gurty: https://vine.co/v/MKxlgb20QP7

3) We're actively encouraging submissions of Hannibal/Yoplait themed art to be shared on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. Anything you tweet to @Violincatherine or @DelaurentiisCo along this line WILL be shared!

4) Please use our #EmbraceTheCulture hashtag leading up to this week's episode.

Thank you, love you, owe you,

@violincatherine

and Team Hannibal 

He's the most cultured person around, amirite?

It's really best if we tweet to the ad sponsors while the hashtag is trending; so please check in with us on twitter, 10pmET-12am on Thursday so we can all tweet the ad sponsors together! We are also running some sponsor through GetGlue. You'll see those tweets during the night, so please help us with that, too!

Your general ad sponsor collectors are:

Dear Hannibal Fans,
Hannibalを愛してくださる皆様へ
This will be a permanent master post, sending you to pages from　http://Hannibal-HQ.blogspot.com　translated into different languages.
このポストでは次のリンク（http://Hannibal-HQ.blogspot.com）の各国語版を見られます。

If you are at blogspot right now, the main English post is at http://www.HannibalHQ.com.
現在blogspotを使用されている方は、英語版のメインポストをこちら（http://www.HannibalHQ.com.）で見られます。

The items are in order of importance, so if you only have time to follow one or two items at the top, and send just a few tweets, that is very helpful; we understand that people are often very busy.
下記のリストは優先順番ですので、お忙しいところ申し訳ありませんが、一番上のいくつだけでも見てTweetをお送りいたただければと思います。


For this week’s twitter fan work, please follow your fan leader in three places:
Twitterでの今週のファン活動はこちらへ。
i) http://www.facebook.com/HannibalHQ;
ii) http://ktgay.tumblr.com;

2) We are using twitter scheduler software called tweetdeck.
tweetdeckというスケジューリングプログラムに関して
This allows you to tweet with us while you are sleeping, or not at the computer!
tweetdeckで留守中にもtweetが可能！
I’ve been scheduling 20 tweets an hour, so each fan twitter event of 2 hours gets 40 tweets (one every 3 minutes):
自分の場合、一時間に20個のtweetの設定で、例えば時２時間のイベントなら40個のtweet(3
分に一個）が発生するようにしています。

i) Twitter scheduler: http://www.tweetdeck.com (Find current hashtag at http://www.Facebook.com/HannibalHQ)

iii) Timezone converter (we create a new one of these on the Facebook page for each weekly twitter hashtag event. Use New York, Thursday 10pmET for the left hand side:http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html)
Timezone converter (毎週twitterハッシュタグイベントのため、Facebook pageに新しいTimezone converterが生成されます。左側にNew York, Thursday 10 pmETを入れてニューヨークでの放映時間を日本の時間に変えれます： http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html）


3) Follow all Hannibal accounts @NBCHannibal, @NeoProd,@BryanFuller, and @DeLaurentiisCo on twitter for information on extra GetGlue stickers and other fan giveaways. It’s also a very good idea to follow NBC everywhere online: https://www.facebook.com/NBCHannibal, http://nbchannibal.tumblr.com,

CHECK IN to Get Glue between 10pmET-12am Thursday (New York time) and connect Get Glue to twitter so we can find it (http://getglue.com/tv_shows/hannibal; scroll down on this page to link Twitter/Tumblr/Facebook: http://getglue.com/settings/preferences)

6) I’m trying to keep track of all the Fannibals on one twitter list. Tweet me (@ViolinCatherine) to join it, and follow each other to boost our follower counts! https://twitter.com/violincatherine/hannibal/members
