Challenge
Countdown wanted to showcase their fresh offering, but in a way they have never done before!
Targeting youth audiences, 18-34, we knew just telling people they have fresh produce instore wasn’t going to cut it.
So, they challenged us to demonstrate their fresh credentials in a way that was fresh, relevant and engaging for Kiwi youth.
Solution
With the increasing penetration of TikTok in NZ, this is where we needed to play. The problem was, the client was TikTokaverse, resulting in all prior proposals from their network of media agencies being declined.
We needed a different approach. So, we worked directly with TikTok to build a tailored campaign; outlining the engagement and reach opportunities, media efficiencies and fit for purpose content to cut-through the clutter.
And… they loved our approach, resulting in Countdown signing off their first ever TikTok content and trailblazing the way for the Australian market (first TikTok campaign before Woolworths).
The results exceeded even our initial projections and are paving the way for TIkTok to be adapted into the ’always-on’ channel strategy for social.
