Kids’ Choice Awards Live Voting

As part of a comprehensive second-screen experience for the 2017 Kids’ Choice Awards, Nickelodeon created interactive button masher and poll products that allowed kids to engage with the show by voting in real time on their handheld devices and computers. Viewers had the power to influence the live broadcast and voice their opinions, with the results being dynamically displayed through on-air graphics, culminating in thrilling live payoffs during the show. The live votes pulled in 66MM votes, blowing away the 24MM seen the year before (+175%).
