Comparison With Other Hashtags In 2015

To put things in perspective, consider these numbers; #SaluteSelfie, a paid campaign by RCom had around 100,000 tweets in a span of a week. #SaluteSelfie was run during the Independence Day week and also featured celebrities.

According to the “2015 #YearOnTwitter in India” report by Twitter, India beating Pakistan in the first match of the Cricket World Cup in 2015 was the most viewed TV and sports event of the year and drew 118.3 million impressions on Twitter.

Compared to these events, it is easy to see that #CelebrateJio has managed to hold its own in the social sphere.

Celebrity Engagement

Driven by the massive star power of Shah Rukh Khan, who has been announced as the brand ambassador of Reliance Jio 4G, there should have been no doubt that RIL would benefit from the actor’s legions of tech savvy fans. Khan, himself, took time out to tweet from the venue, which further added to the engagement

Apart from Khan, RIL got a whole bunch of celebrities from Bollywood as well as sports personalities like Sachin Tendulkar and Sania Mirza to tweet about the event. Of course, there was a bit of a controversy when Twitter users started noticing that almost all the celebs were tweeting nearly exactly the same thing, bringing to light the massive celebrity endorsement that the company had undertaken to ensure the launch got its limelight.
