Le Club Perrier-blog 5




Le Club Perrier - Can you handle the heat?



Although Perrier is an iconic brand, it seems that the younger crowd between 25 and 35 years old tends to consume less than what the company aims. Because of that, Perrier teamed up with Ogilvy Paris in order to create a unique and interactive campaign on YouTube.





One could say that the more people there are in a club, the hotter it gets. The campaign tried to bring this concept to life. The core idea was that the campaign’s channel evolved as the number of views increased.


In this context, the agency created six different videos in total. Each one of them takes place in a club that goes by the name “Le Club” and shows the same tracking camera shot, following a young woman walking through the venue. In the end, the woman drinks a Perrier.


In the first video we saw an empty club, whereas in the second one we noticed a few people. In the third video things were starting to heat up with fiery cocktails and sweaty bodies and so forth. Depending on the total number of viewers up to that specific moment, a different video was becoming available. Check out the following teaser:




According to Google’s Think Insights, during the month that the campaign took place, Perrier’s YouTube channel gathered over 11 million views. Moreover, more than 28 million impressions were generated in press and blogs.  People visited the channel more than once, because Perrier gave them a reason to.


In addition to that, with the above marketing campaign Perrier managed to achieve its main goal: to increase brand awareness among people aged 25 to 35. It was an interesting idea, that was executed very well.

A Super powerful Combination

A couple of years ago Doritos and Pepsi Max joined their forces in order to grow co-consumption of their products in United Kingdom.
It was estimated that only a third of people who ate Doritos also drank Pepsi Max. The same percentage applied on Pepsi Max drinkers who also ate Doritos. Additionally the companies measured that there were about 10 million households who consumed one or the other. Because of these numbers, they decided that a team-up would be helpful to both of them.
With the help of Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO, Doritos and Pepsi Max launched a digital comic book that followed the adventures of Jack Scoville and Gary Lime, two characters that were hit by a freak meteor shower. After that incident, they both acquired some interesting superpowers. Although they had very different superhero styles, they soon found that they work best together.
Both companies promoted the comic book series through television advertisements and YouTube videos, the first of which you can watch after the break. Fans were prompted to visit doritosandmax.com (the website is no longer available) in order to continue the story and learn more about the adventures of the superhero duo.

According to measurements, Doritos and Pepsi Max joint purchasing doubled because of that campaign. It was estimated that around 380.000 households were buying both products, a 10% increase compared to the companies’ target. It is also worth mentioning that both brands saw significant value growth. More specifically, Pepsi Max achieved a 41% increase and Doritos achieved a 16% increase. YouTube generated 12 million impressions and 40.000 clicks, giving a click-through rate of 0,31%. That was a huge advertising opportunity for both companies.
Because of all the above, this campaign is considered as a successful one. Both companies managed to create more buzz around their products, by taking advantage the other company’s communication channels.

The Never Ending Dr Pepper Can-blog3



The Never Ending Dr Pepper Can



Dr Pepper’s current slogan for the UK market is “What’s the worst that can happen?”. This phrase has been repeated throughout the company’s marketing campaigns since 1980. A few months ago, in order to promote that phrase, Dr Pepper collaborated with Blast Radius to create a digital campaign based on Facebook.



They deployed an application titled “The Never-Ending Dr Pepper”. The idea was simple: By using this app, each user had to record a short video of themselves drinking Dr Pepper. In each video, participants take the can from the right, sip it and then pass it to the left. This way, the viewers feel like the protagonists are taking sips from the same Dr Pepper can - they feel like this specific can is never going to be empty.


Since fans of Dr Pepper participated in the videos, the result was often funny and intriguing. According to Andrew Ferguson of Blast Radius, by creating an endless video chain, the company was able to make the experience both personal and greater than the sum of its parts within the same execution. And he was right. The company managed to draw the attention of teenages, its most important age group of customers, and make them engage with the brand.

LINKING PEPSI BRAND WITH VARIOUS POP-CULTURE ICONS

Linking Pepsi Brand With Various Pop-Culture Icons



In April 2012 Pepsi launched a multi-year campaign called “Live For Now”. It was the brand’s first global campaign.


A centerpiece of the campaign is “Pepsi Pulse”, an interactive digital platform which operates in real time. One may say that it is a Tumblr-like dashboard of pop-culture content, curating and serving up tweets, pictures and news items from the world of entertainment. Aside from that, various celebrities are posting challenges, which fans are encouraged to solve. Moreover, Pepsi has replaced it’s homepage with Pepsi Pulse. Visitors are being encouraged to share each item with other people via various social media channels, including Facebook and Pinterest.


Also worth mentioning is the fact that as a part of this campaign, Pepsi organised and promoted a number of exclusive pop-up, Twitter-enabled concerts that summer, featuring major music artists.


These two initiatives gave Pepsi the opportunity to connect it’s brand with some of the most influencing pop-culture icons of our days. As a consequence, it managed to draw the attention of a substantial number of young people on it’s products. These people tweeted and shared on Facebook and Pinterest news and photos that at that age seem to be the most interesting to them and their friends. Pepsi was able to measure the effectiveness of this initiatives by searching for hashtags and keywords that include the names of it’s products.
