Abstract

Advertising campaigns for film premieres have experienced a cultural, social and technological revolution since the dawn of social networks. Twitter is proposed as a method to study how the box office behaves and how leaders emerge among feature films. This project utilizes the Tengo ganas de ti ("I want you") case to analyze the use of Twitter  in the communication campaign of a Spanish film, focusing on the producer´s and lead actors´ official profiles. Thought leaders unconnected with the production that emerged during the advertising campaign are also investigated. In an effort to understand Twitter as a model for communication campaigns, the official profiles of four films are analyzed: Tengo ganas de ti, Impávido, Lobos de Arga and Els nens salvatges.
