Maury Show & Steve Wilkos Show SMS Campaigns

SMS Connect License for NBC's daytime syndicated shows

Instructions on why and how to text in to Maury Show to be a guest on the show

OVERVIEW

Telescope launched an ongoing SMS campaign for The Maury Show, a division of NBCU. Fans of the show could text in a keyword and their story for a chance to be featured on the show. Every hour we posted the entries to the Maury Show so that the producers could call back the best candidates to appear on the show.

We replicated this SMS experience for the Steve Wilkos Show. Fans could text in 1 of 4 keywords and a follow up message would ask for their name and story. Producers reviewed the messages daily to source “talent” and find new stories for the show.
