Pan Am Games a Huge Hit on TV and Social Media
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 07/28/15 -- Despite the concerns of critics, the Pan Games in Toronto proved to be very popular with Canadians according to a new IPG Mediabrands project looking deeper into the television ratings and social media numbers.
"Before the Pan Am Games began, there was the impression that Canadians weren't interested in the event," says Chris Herlihey, Vice President Research at IPG Mediabrands. "Well, Canadians ended up loving Pan Am 2015! Full credit must go to the Canadian athletes and all the competitors, who thrilled us with so many memorable moments. Viewers were so enthralled that the CBC had to increase its planned coverage."

"We also gave our thumbs and fingers a work-out sharing and giving social media shout-outs galore. Both the athletes and the Panamania events had us tweeting in the thousands," says Loraine Cordery, Insights Manager at IPG Mediabrands. "Kanye West, however, stole a significant amount of the spotlight by being the most talked about person of these Games."

"The most talked about brand on Twitter was the CBC by far and away," adds Cordery. "CBC, and Toronto Star, were continually creating and sharing updates around Pan Am events via Twitter. They were a key resource for people to keep up to date on Team Canada's progress."
