Say it with Silk.

Platform

The Client: Cadbury

About the Campaign

The brand ‘Cadbury’ has become a household name when it comes to India. This Mondelēz International owned multinational confectionery brand has managed to create a great amount of goodwill amongst Indians with its deep-rooted presence over the years.

With its popular product ‘Dairy Milk’, Cadbury paints a picture of nostalgia, love and happiness in our minds.

But the story doesn’t end here...

To keep its loyal chocolate fans happy, Cadbury is bent on offering more varieties of delightful chocolates at affordable prices. Dairy Milk Silk is a product of such endeavours.

OBJECTIVE: This Valentine’s Day Cadbury wanted to do something different!

They wanted to strengthen the fan base for their superior chocolate product range ‘Silk’. So, Cadbury partnered with Affle to create a highly engaging digital mobile campaign to celebrate the spirit of love with Cadbury Silk!

TARGET AUDIENCE: Cadbury wanted to target the Indian consumers with this special Valentine’s Daycampaign. The campaign was specifically envisioned to appeal to kids, the young crowd of college goers & most importantly, women.

The Challenge

To compete with a huge variety of foreign chocolate brands available in India.

It was very challenging to create a highly user centric campaign that could stand out duringValentine’s Day & grab the attention of the targeted users.

For this campaign, we wanted to engage the users in Cadbury’s theme of ‘Celebration of love with Cadbury Silk’ through a highly meaningful & interactive campaign.

A�e Solution

So, we worked on astrategic plan that was focused on User-generated content & social media integration for quick dissemination of the campaign.

We sought to create a campaign that conveyed a sense of simplicity such that it would be intelligible to the target audience. Our purpose was to get them to participate & share their love for Silk with their Valentine.

Used our prior exposure & audience intelligence available at the Affle MAAS platform in running several popular user-centric campaigns for global clients.

Referred to the data collected from various e-commerce websites & mobile apps.

Collaborated with many popular e-commerce portals to ensure a visible presence across high end smartphone users for this campaign using the Affle MAAS platform.

Better user targeting through research on the behavioural attributes of the target users by looking at the indicating parameters like the user’s purchase history, choice of apps, time spent on popular mobile apps, taste & preference, amongst others.

Worked closely with Grey to devised a campaign that based on real time data sharing by ensuring smooth server communication & building an interface for mobile and PC.

Created a very appealing rich media video banner that conveyed the theme of Cadbury Silk.

The copy used in the rich media banner was planned to closely mirror that of the TVC Jingle. This was done to create a link with the previous ‘Silk’ branding to maintain homogeneity.

Our intention was to create a meaningful message story that involved the following steps:

Users were given a choice to select a message for their Valentine from asuggestion list of catchy messages. Then, they were required to upload aphotograph along with a Cadbury Sticker.

1

When the receiver(Valentine) finally gets the message, he or she could simply click on it to reveal a hidden Silk Chocolate. And not just that! The receiver could also send back asimilar message to the user in a matter of seconds!

3

All of these inputs from the users would get translated into an interactive picture message & become ready for quick sharing on the Facebook wall or as email content for their Valentine.

This 4 day campaign was highly successful in terms of meeting client expectations & deliveries.

In fact right on Day 1 of this campaign, we managed to generate ahuge buzz & received almost 2000 user entries!

Engaging users in creating simple video messages is a fun way to reach out to young users, who are most likely to actively participate in such activities.

More engagement based ad units should be used to initiate user involvement and educate the consumers about the product and its features.

We received a lot of traffic from the e-commerce portals targeted for this campaign with a very high conversion rate. A high degree of activity was seen in key shopping, travel, gaming, and movie or event booking portals.
