Just like their name, the brand puts forward ideas that are simply and truly, Potatoes! Such is their recent endeavour – The Ultimate Potato Eating Competition!

The Activity

If you are a person who loves food, you must have thought about eating unlimited amounts of your favourite dish or beating anyone at it. An Eating Competition is not a new concept, and in fact, eating competitions are celebrated as annual fests in many parts of the world. However, Simply Potatoes took advantage of the fact that this has never been done in India, and thus hit the bull’s eye by making it “India’s First Ever Potato Eating Competition.” The rules are very simple and quite appetizing. You just have to sign up, show up and EAT. It’s neither a pageant nor a sport, all you need here is to be a foodie with a stomach that just won’t quit!

Entries were rolled out using platforms like Facebook and Twitter, and required the filling up of a simple online form. People quickly responded to this very unique activity and signed up. A series of knockout rounds were held where participants were asked to finish a bowl of baked potatoes in the fastest time possible. The activity has now reached the final leg where one person will be crowned as the “ULTIMATE POTATO EATER 2013!”  Quite a fancy title, don’t you think? Also there are some amazing prizes and gifts for the winners and the participants. Free food and gifts, talk about an early Christmas miracle.

The Finale

The finale of the activity happened on 22nd December, 2013 at the High Street Phoenix Courtyard (Lower Parel, Mumbai). Top 15 contestants ate for glory at the Ultimate Potato Eating Competition.

Visitors at Kala Ghoda Festival experience a unique initiative to discover a brew of spices exclusive to the Festival.

For over 15 years, the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival, held in Mumbai, celebrates the diversity of the city’s most revered, creative, and innovative minds who showcase their work across theater, art, literature, dance, and music. Indus Pride – an Indian beer brewed with spices especially for the Indian palate, provides a unique opportunity to every visitor at this year’s festival to savour the thrill of the various artists’ performances with pride!

With an aim to evoke pride in Indian choices amongst consumers as India’s first specialty beer, every visitor at Irish House in Kala Ghoda wasn’t just taken on a sensual journey with every sip of Indus Pride, but also were a part of a first-of-its-kind ‘Spice Art’ initiative.

During the nine day long festival, all Irish House guests who went on to sample this beer were in for a treat as they were presented with personalized portraits created purely with the various spices that constitute the four variants of Indus Pride – Citrusy Coriander, Citrusy Cardamom, Spicy Fennel and Fiery Cinnamon.

Additionally, the exclusive personalized ‘Spice Art’ portraits were shared with all the artists performing at the festival as a token of appreciation, celebrating their talent and contribution to our rich culture and heritage. Indus Pride created an impressive number of over 450 distinctive Spice Art portraits for users on ground and on digital media.

This unique initiative was executed with a strong social media presence on various platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Indus Pride held a number of contests on Twitter through engaging conversations such as #SpiceArt, #GuessTheSpice, #GiftASpiceArt amongst many others. This not only led to an increase in followers to 1.3K, but to a whopping total of 2.8 million impressions on Twitter.

However, the festivities did not end there; the nine day initiative led to an increase of 6,660 fans on Facebook and achieved an overwhelming average reach of 23,032. This garnered a reach of 1.1 million in total across Facebook and Twitter.

Indus Pride beers achieved a huge boost in sales at the Irish House, Kala Ghoda outlet, with the weekly sales of Indus Pride enjoying a massive growth of 1133%.

The Spice Art initiative was the perfect convergence of experimental and digital marketing where social conversations added another dimension to the consumers’ experience at Kala Ghoda. The magnifying sales results prove that the campaign created a strategic, deep, and personal connection with consumers who are now brand loyalists.

Budweiser Makes Selfies #TheBudRitual for Beer Drinkers on Social Media

Insight

Cultures and traditions bring people together. So does beer. Why not blend the two?

Idea

Throughout the world people indulge in different drinking rituals that over time have become popular culture. Participating in these rituals brings about a feeling of unity and creates a sense of belonging.

For e.g.

  1. In Ukraine people have a practice of toasting to something different each time they order a round.
  2. In Japan, it is considered bad manners to pour one’s own drink. So as a person’s drink nears its end, it is usually poured by another and vice versa.

Likewise, there are a variety of rituals adopted by people around the world, the exception being India which has yet to adopt one.

Thus, Budweiser took it upon themselves to create India’s very own drinking ritual that revolves around beer, #TheBudRitual, for the people, by the people.

How it worked?

We launched a Twitter contest inviting users to send us their drinking rituals with their friends, or their ideas on what would make for an epic Indian drinking ritual. These ideas were tweeted at us with the hash-tag #TheBudRitual with/without photographs. But it essentially needed to involve beer.
bud 1 bud 2

 

Results

The contest was well-received as beer lovers shared their rituals celebrating International Beer Day. Over two days, @BudweiserIndia received a total of 120 rituals from our followers and generated 108,043 estimated impressions without any support from paid media.

Budweiser then selected the best ritual: One shall take a selfie before sharing a Bud with a bud.

Thus, this International Beer Day, Budweiser celebrated beer with their best Buds and started a whole new tradition.

As a follow up to the contest, followers are being asked to adopt the ritual and share pictures of themselves embracing the ritual. The contest is currently running on the Budweiser Twitter handle.

Krispy Kreme’s Diwali Doughnuts Drives Sales During Brand Launch

Frog Walks Out

Objective

Diwali is traditionally a time of ‘mithai’, dry fruits and family. Our challenge was to establish Diwali as a doughnut eating occasion. We also had to create awareness that can drive sales of the newly introduced Diwali doughnuts.

Execution

This Diwali, Krispy Kreme India gave a ‘desi’ twist to its doughnuts with their Diwali Doughnuts aka ‘nutty circle’; a unique combination of chocolate or vanilla doughnuts with toppings of almonds, cashews, walnuts or pistachios.

Team of digital strategists had to think of an idea that is loud enough to create awareness about the new product and quirky enough to create instant connect with its fans.

The brand’s idea was to leverage Diwali, being an occasion when family and friends get together and blend it into having a doughnut together with help of a social media campaign.

We created ‘nutty circle’ campaign for Krispy Kreme. Every post of nutty circle was dedicated to a particular circle one has. It could be their gossip circle, movie circle, kitty party circle or a family circle. Then we invited our fans to tag their circle on every post and this sparked some interesting conversations. To fuel them, we rewarded 10 doughnut boxes to the most interesting groups. This also acted as a gentle reminder of the merry moments shared by the fans and their ‘circle full of nuts’. The campaign instantly had an emotional connect.

To spread the word we leveraged other social media accounts of Krispy Kreme including FacebookTwitter, Instagram and Google+. We also created a series of video posts for Krispy Kreme that captured the crux of the idea.

NESTLÉ Munch launched its new campaign on digital platforms followed by television. The brand urges the its target audience to claim their stage, to sport and embrace their flaws and their passions and be unapologetic about whom they are. The Longer version of the TV ad was posted on the NESTLÉ MUNCH Facebook page, YouTube channel and Twitter on the 10th of January and has received an enthusiastic response from consumers. With over 3 million views on Facebook and YouTube, this ad will definitely start a new trend amongst the youth. The music has been a great hit, with over one lakh downloads within two weeks of its launch.

image001

The Plot:

The protagonist in this new film by NESTLÉ MUNCH is the confident, happy-go-lucky College Student played by Sushant Singh Rajput. From a street scene, talking to tourists in ‘Broken English’, to trying to impress a girl in the college library with the same ‘tootaphoota English’, the film showcases this common angst among a large section of our country’s youth in a light-hearted and comical manner.  All of this culminates into a big fail at the ‘Romeo and Juliet’ audition, where the lines that he utter are obviously ones that Shakespeare never wrote.

A dejected hero walks out of the theatre, crunches loudly into a NESTLÉ MUNCH 4X4, which gets everyone’s attention. He now has a ‘Manch’ (stage) to showcase his talent; he uses this to fantastic effect by breaking into the very catchy ‘MUNCHification’ song in ‘Broken English’, catapulting himself to stardom in the process.

This new commercial inspires us to embrace the beautiful little flaws and imperfections within all of us by parading them out in the open- Simply put, Nestlé MUNCH khao, Apne Manch pe Aao!

The Campaign:

The campaign extends to Twitter and Facebook with the hashtag #MUNCHification. Soon after the launch the conversations around the campaign have exploded on both Facebook and Twitter.

Consumers tweeted about the Brand Message ‘Embrace who you are, you’re a superstar!’ and the catchy jingle of the ad.

image002 image003 image004

Facebook users loved the idea of Broken English becoming the next cool thing for the young generation, with many humming the lyrics of the jingle across Facebook posts. A new trend, Facebook also saw a lot of consumers updating their status to ‘Eating Nestlé MUNCH’ while posting about the campaign.

image005 image006 image007 image008The jingle of the ad or the ‘MUNCHification song’ has been sung by Mika and can be downloaded from the YouTube and Facebook video by clicking on the download button. It is also available on digital music platforms like the mobile Gaana app. The #MUNCHification song has seen over one lakh downloads, just two weeks into the campaign.

#SulaFest2015 received unparalleled response on social media with an overall outreach of 69.52 Million (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram); a higher proportion of the outreach being organic.

With a bunch of new festival concepts coming up, Sula wanted to stand out from the crowd. The brand already has a reverent following, but it strives hard to host new audience and bulk up the fan following, year after year. This time Sula planned a promotional campaign that spanned over four months in three strategic phases. The challenge was to keep the motivation and enthusiasm consistently high.

The objectives were clear to draft a befitting strategy, which included emphasis on close interaction with fest goers.

During the first phase of the pre-event promotions, the event page registered an attendance of 5300 ‘going’ tags. This was a build up to the larger integrations and activities the brand did on ground as well as post the event.

The content strategy activated nostalgia followed by series of engaging posts: #SaveTheDate, #SulaFestTips, 10 day countdown to the fest, and teaser videos on YouTube. These unique activities were well supported by the regular FB and Twitter contests, involving fans and friends of fans via tagging.

The online response was replicated at the venue. The Sula fest was covered live on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Fresh additions this year were – the Instagram booth for instant pictures and the ‘best of the fest’ daily Instagram video.

The #SulaDrone captured aerial views of the fest and vineyard like never before and was the most exciting addition to the festival. Afterall,

We all have a good time

When it’s music, food and wine!

The results achieved with the activities –

The fans largely expressed their happiness on Twitter and #SulaFest was trending on both days.

Nestlé MUNCH Creates Buzz with The New MUNCHification Song and TVC on Digital

NESTLÉ Munch launched its new campaign on digital platforms followed by television. The brand urges the its target audience to claim their stage, to sport and embrace their flaws and their passions and be unapologetic about whom they are. The Longer version of the TV ad was posted on the NESTLÉ MUNCH Facebook page, YouTube channel and Twitter on the 10th of January and has received an enthusiastic response from consumers. With over 3 million views on Facebook and YouTube, this ad will definitely start a new trend amongst the youth. The music has been a great hit, with over one lakh downloads within two weeks of its launch.

The Plot:

The protagonist in this new film by NESTLÉ MUNCH is the confident, happy-go-lucky College Student played by Sushant Singh Rajput. From a street scene, talking to tourists in ‘Broken English’, to trying to impress a girl in the college library with the same ‘tootaphoota English’, the film showcases this common angst among a large section of our country’s youth in a light-hearted and comical manner.  All of this culminates into a big fail at the ‘Romeo and Juliet’ audition, where the lines that he utter are obviously ones that Shakespeare never wrote.

A dejected hero walks out of the theatre, crunches loudly into a NESTLÉ MUNCH 4X4, which gets everyone’s attention. He now has a ‘Manch’ (stage) to showcase his talent; he uses this to fantastic effect by breaking into the very catchy ‘MUNCHification’ song in ‘Broken English’, catapulting himself to stardom in the process.

This new commercial inspires us to embrace the beautiful little flaws and imperfections within all of us by parading them out in the open- Simply put, Nestlé MUNCH khao, Apne Manch pe Aao!

The Campaign:

The campaign extends to Twitter and Facebook with the hashtag #MUNCHification. Soon after the launch the conversations around the campaign have exploded on both Facebook and Twitter.

Consumers tweeted about the Brand Message ‘Embrace who you are, you’re a superstar!’ and the catchy jingle of the ad.

Facebook users loved the idea of Broken English becoming the next cool thing for the young generation, with many humming the lyrics of the jingle across Facebook posts. A new trend, Facebook also saw a lot of consumers updating their status to ‘Eating Nestlé MUNCH’ while posting about the campaign.

#SulaFest’s highest outreach platform becomes Instagram
#SulaFest2015 received unparalleled response on social media with an overall outreach of 69.52 Million (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram); a higher proportion of the outreach being organic.

With a bunch of new festival concepts coming up, Sula wanted to stand out from the crowd. The brand already has a reverent following, but it strives hard to host new audience and bulk up the fan following, year after year. This time Sula planned a promotional campaign that spanned over four months in three strategic phases. The challenge was to keep the motivation and enthusiasm consistently high.

The objectives were clear to draft a befitting strategy, which included emphasis on close interaction with fest goers.

During the first phase of the pre-event promotions, the event page registered an attendance of 5300 ‘going’ tags. This was a build up to the larger integrations and activities the brand did on ground as well as post the event.

The content strategy activated nostalgia followed by series of engaging posts: #SaveTheDate, #SulaFestTips, 10 day countdown to the fest, and teaser videos on YouTube. These unique activities were well supported by the regular FB and Twitter contests, involving fans and friends of fans via tagging.

The online response was replicated at the venue. The Sula fest was covered live on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Fresh additions this year were – the Instagram booth for instant pictures and the ‘best of the fest’ daily Instagram video.

The #SulaDrone captured aerial views of the fest and vineyard like never before and was the most exciting addition to the festival. Afterall,

We all have a good time

When it’s music, food and wine!

The results achieved with the activities –

The fans largely expressed their happiness on Twitter and #SulaFest was trending on both days.

The case study contains an elaborate description of activities. It also shows a comparison in social media marketing results from previous year.
