could win additional entries or the competition by successullyencouraging riends to sign up using the ormer’s URL. At the hearto the campaign was the insight that sharing an invitation to enter
the sweepstakes should be equally as valuable to those receivingthe invite as those sending it. Building on this concept ensuredvirality was a key characteristic o the campaign. Copa Airlinesully utilized Facebook by:
• Housing “Passport America” in a tab on their page and supportingit with a publishing strategy designed to generate awareness othe sweepstakes
