There was a winner, but Esurance also released the stats of their marketing stunt, which included 1) 5.4 million uses of the #EsuranceSave30 hashtag, 2) more than 200k entries within the first minute of the Esurance commercial airing, and 3) 1.4 million hashtag uses in the first hour and 4.5 million in the first 24 hours. They also gained over 261k new followers to espouse their marketing messages, which sounds like ad money well spent. (via AdWeek)
