The “Queen Latifah Show” has partnered with SocialRank for a new campaign to reward Twitter followers of the talk show with prizes for interacting with the show on social media. Latifah unveiled the #YouJustMay campaign on Thursday via the show’s website.
SocialRank, a start-up founded by Alex Taub and Michael Schonfeld, will help Latifah determine which fans to reward using its data about a particular brand’s most engaged and valuable fans on Twitter. Taub and Schonfeld launched the company in February, and a few thousand brands now use it.
“Our tool is really good for the entertainment industry to get more insight about people that follow them on social networks,” Taub told TheWrap.
