April 24th, Saturday, marked a pivotal day for Tokyo Animation Studios in Elffire City. The studio’s head director, Ryoko, had convened a eting with the marketing departnt to discuss an intriguing proposal from the Chro Channel. The goal was clear: to elevate the popularity of the SAO ani to the elusive "S-class" status. An S-class ani, as defined by Chro Channel, was one that rivaled the productions of the industry’s heavyweights.
And as the Head Director of the studio, Ryoko had to take care of things like this.
"I’m sure everyone here has read the Chro Channel’s proposal about partnering to increase the SAO ani’s popularity to reach what they call an S-class ani. According to them, an S-class ani is as famous as anis from the big studios." Ryoko started the reunion like this.
Ally Riddle, the Marketing Departnt Head, replied, "Yes, boss. I read the Chro Channel’s proposal, and I have a few ideas."
"Feel free to speak," Ryoko said calmly.
"Thank you, boss," Ally replied, tapping a pen against her notepad. "Collaborations are key. Think about partnerships with ani websites and publications – we could secure sponsored articles, reviews, and even exclusive in-production content for their readers and viewers. Imagine a limited-edition action figure or rchandise only available to those who engage with our campaign through a specific partner site."
Ryoko leaned forward, a thoughtful expression on her face. "That’s a strong approach. We should also consider the timing of our campaign. The launch of the new Chro Channel content is crucial. We need a pre-launch buzz to build anticipation and then a sustained campaign to keep the montum going after the initial release. Perhaps a staggered rollout across different platforms, starting with a social dia teaser campaign, followed by influencer reveals, and then the major push at launch."
"Good point," Ally agreed. "And we need strong, engaging visuals. High-quality trailers, short clips showcasing the ani’s best features, and behind-the-scenes content – all optimized for each platform. We need to make sure everything is visually stunning and instantly captures the essence of SAO’s appeal."
Ryoko nodded. "I’ll speak with the animation departnts to produce this content. And the trics, Ally. We need to define key performance indicators (KPIs) from the outset. Website traffic, social dia engagent, conversion rates – we need to track everything carefully to asure the success of each elent of our campaign. Regular reporting will be essential to adapt our strategy as we go."
Ally smiled. "Absolutely. A robust analytics dashboard will be crucial. This isn’t just about getting eyeballs; it’s about converting those eyeballs into engaged players and loyal fans. We’ll need to allocate resources for ongoing monitoring and optimization. I’ll put together a preliminary budget proposal outlining the costs associated with each elent of the multi-platform campaign."
Just like that, they continued their eting for another hour as they discussed how to coordinate with the Chro Channel to push the SAO ani to the S-class.
An hour later, after the eting ended, Ryoko was back in her office as she had another issue to take care of.
This new wave of advertisents for the SAO ani gave the Kuramaroll streaming service a golden opportunity.
During the past 3 weeks, since Kuramaroll has been online, it has already managed to gain over two million new subscribers in the Sakura Abode Country alone. If the number of subscribers from other countries were counted as well, this number would increase to almost 6 million subscribers.
What an amazing number!
Almost purely on word of mouth, the Kuramaroll streaming service managed to gain millions of new subscribers.
For a new streaming service, this was an incredible achievent.
But that was still far from the Kuramaroll’s true potential. That was because if the Kuramaroll streaming service managed to get even a fraction of the whole audience of the ani industry, they could achieve even hundreds of millions of subscribers in the whole world.
But what they needed was an opportunity to gain even more traction and popularity among the ani industry to beco a powerhouse in the streaming service.
And Ryoko identified that the SAO ani becoming an S-class ani was that opportunity, so as soon as she arrived at her office, she called her boss, Samantha, to talk about this issue.
If a person missed the Chro Channel broadcasting of the SAO ani, the only platform they could watch the missed episode was the Kuramaroll streaming service. On the platform, all the episodes already broadcast were available for the public to watch. So the public could even rewatch the 1st, 2nd, and other episodes. That’s why Ryoko deed that this was a great opportunity for Kuramaroll to attract even more subscribers.
Sam was the person who managed all of Theo’s companies, and Theo owned the Tokyo Studios, so Sam was indeed Ryoko’s boss. And Sam was temporarily taking care of the Kuramaroll company for Theo, so Ryoko had to talk with Sam about this issue.
"Look who it is." Sam said as she answered the call, "Our little blue sprite!" She laughed.
"Co on, sempai." Ryoko protested, "Stop teasing ."
The two of them were friends, so two of them chatted for a while before Sam asked why Ryoko was calling her.
Ryoko explained to her Chro Channel’s proposal and the other details.
Ryoko and Sam’s conversation was a lively one, filled with excitent and the occasional burst of laughter. "So, Sam, I have a proposition for you," Ryoko began, her voice brimming with enthusiasm. "With the SAO ani gaining traction and our efforts to push it to S-class status, we have a golden opportunity to boost Kuramaroll’s popularity even further." She quickly filled Sam in on the details of her eting with the marketing departnt and their plans for a multi-platform campaign. "Just imagine, with Chro Channel’s support and our strategic partnerships, we can create a buzz that will have ani fans flocking to Kuramaroll!"
Sam, always the pragmatic one, listened intently, her eyes sparkling with amusent at Ryoko’s enthusiasm. "My little sprite, you never cease to amaze with your big ideas," she said, her voice warm and encouraging. "But tell , what exactly do you propose we do to capitalize on this opportunity? How can we ensure that Kuramaroll rides the wave of SAO’s success?" she asked, leaning back in her chair, a thoughtful look on her face.
Ryoko grinned, already several steps ahead. "Well, my brilliant friend, here’s what we’re going to do. We’ll coordinate our efforts with Chro Channel and use their platform to direct viewers to Kuramaroll. We can offer exclusive behind-the-scenes content, director’s comntary, and even host a fan art contest with SAO-thed prizes. With our marketing might, we can create a synergy that will have ani enthusiasts talking and subscribing!"
"This could work. How about..." Sam replied as they continued their discussion for a while longer before they combined their teams to work together on this issue.
Just like that, the Tokyo Studios and Kuramaroll would ride on the increasing popularity of the SAO ani.
