THE CHALLENGE
Chinese New Year provides strong business opportunities for brands, but it’s a crowded window with many attempting different activations based on similar insights. Identifying a key issue faced by youths during CNY – awkward questions from nosy aunties making the annual family reunion an unpleasant one for our core consumers - we were tasked to use this as a basis to spark curiosity, interest and impact among the youth in the weeks leading up to CNY.OUR APPROACH
To kickstart the campaign, we created ‘meme’ style posts for our teaser. Using reputable and relevant influencers, we turned the unpleasantness of awkward conversations in to witty content, all tagged with the catchy hashtag #CNWhyyy.
Once we got the buzz going, we created webisodes utilising the awkward questions our target audience are asked during CNY; "Girl ah, got boyfriend already or not?", "How's your results from school? Got 'A's?".
We also created 15s Pocket TVCs to capture the attention of our target on Facebook. The awkward questions created an opportunity to introduce the intrinsic qualities of Coca-Cola during the Chinese New Year season.
