OVERVIEW

Recognized as the ‘World’s Biggest Talent Show’, Fremantle and Sony launched the 2nd season of Asia’s Got Talent in September 2017 – the 67th adaptation of the global reality format. They turned to Telescope to revamp their complex voting requirements, and create a more social and real-time experience for fans. For the second year in a row, Telescope partnered with Facebook and Sony to create a Facebook Messenger vote for Asia’s Got Talent. The 4-week campaign updated weekly, and was customized to support multiple locations and languages to provide the most seamless experience for voters. Viewers could visit the Asia’s Got Talent’s Facebook page and vote via Facebook Messenger.  This campaign included 26 regions and supported 6 languages. The bot was customized to detect and send the user’s location, and users could change their language in the experience. Viewers went through a series of prompts in the Messenger Bot, and eventually were led to a carousel of contestants that were updated weekly.

HOW IT WORKED

We worked with Facebook, customizing our Messenger Bot and Hashtag vote applications, to deliver a highly intuitive and mobile-friendly experience during the live shows. Fans could cast up to 10 votes per day, per method.

The Messenger Bot supported 6 languages, with the user selecting their preferred language from a menu. The application restricted votes to the 28 participating countries, so a GPS check was initiated from the Messenger app to verify the voter’s location.
