Here is the experiment done during the first evening of Sanremo 2023, where Chiara Ferragni launched the Instagram profile of Amadeus (@amadeusonoio) live on TV.
Sanremo: whether you watch it or not, talk about it, admit it. There's no way you woke up this morning without coming across a comment about what happened or forming an opinion. In one way or another we all talk about it!
(Yes also to complain that everyone talks about it).
And what happens if we add the communication skills of one of the 10 most influential people in Italy with the most watched TV show in Italy?

What happened?
The main Italian influencers and VIPs joined in, who in turn guided their communities on the Amadeus profile, bringing tens of thousands of interactions, which generated more than 600K likes and 83,000 comments.
The results and records of Amadeus and Chiara Ferragni
What did all this generate? Probably the Italian record of follower growth: more than 500,000 in the first 2 hours and in the following morning the account surpassed the historic couple profile by exceeding 670,000 follower, we arrived at lunch 770,000.
Other ideas
LIVE STREAMING: during the same evening they started an Instagram live which was also announced on live TV. Very few minutes that reached peaks of 285,000 people connected. Another impressive number for social media and food for thought to perhaps move on to measuring the real television audience in a more digital way.
- Explanation of clothes posted in contemporary with its appearance television which creates another good case study for the “second screen” or in any case for an ever closer integration of TV and digital. While you watch the broadcast, you have an explanation of the dress on social media and can comment on it.
- Create an engagement (very high) with Chiara Ferragni's followers, even with those who are not watching the festival on TV, thus increasing interest in Sanremo and – probably – contributing even more to the attention towards the launch of Amadeus' Instagram profile.

If we consider the share numbers (around 11 million) + Ferragni's followers (28 million), having brought in 500,000 people is more than 1% conversion: not bad!
If we consider the views of Ferragni's story and the real people in front of the TV, leaving aside the audited estimates (it has been said several times how unreliable they are) and imagining a range between 5 and 10 million total people, then the conversion becomes even more more interesting: between 5% and 10% conversion!
