Coke Zero Facial Profiler
Maybe not the sexiest name ever but this was a nice Facebook app from Coke Zero (now removed) that allowed you to upload a photo or use your profile photo, and find complete strangers that looked like you. The app attracted over 150,000 users in its first month showing the demand for an app like this that appeals to our egos, or just a general interest in ourselves! It also showed a new way of using the technology available through Facebook.
Vitamin Water
This great campaign was a simple concept but worked perfectly. Vitamin water asked users on their Facebook page to help them choose the next flavor of the drink to be released and effectively crow sourced their creative process. There was some serious backing behind this campaign including basketballer Steve Nash and rapper 50 Cent and it certainly created some serious online buzz.Marmite use sampling ads
Showing that Facebook campaigns aren’t all about apps, Marmite last year claimed they were the first FMCG brand to use the sampling ad units available in Facebook. They used this ad format to allow people to register for a free sample of Marmite’s new savoury bar. Clever use of Facebook ads is often overlooked and used well they can bring a campaign to life and allow you to reach new audiences in new ways. Well done to Marmite with a new ad format to launch a product.
Pringles’ Dream Party
A campaign by Pringles Australia saw them shoot to the number one spot for fan pages in Australia. They created an application that allowed you to enter a competition to create your ultimate party, choosing the venue, entertainment and friends you would invite.The app then turned this into a bespoke video featuring your choices and your friends, which could also be used as an invite to send out to your friends for your party. A pretty impressive campaign based on the results and shows the growth in personalised video content.
Domino’s Superfans
Dominos launched a campaign last year that showed their willingness to reward their most loyal fans. Their ‘superfans’ application gave those biggest supporters on their page special promotional codes for offers. It showed they wanted to reward their most loyal customers through a social application. This is a really nice campaign from Dominos and I like their approach of actually rewarding their most loyal fans in different ways. The superfans concept was then extended into a competition to find their superfan King or Queen, inviting other users to take part.
Fiorelli’s social shopping
Luxury accessories brand Fiorelli show that luxury brands can do Facebook as well. They have just launched a presence on Facebook which includes a new social shopping experience for fans. Buying a Fiorelli bag is no light decision and the brand have considered this through introducing an app which allows you to superimpose a photo of your bag of choice onto your profile photo and get your friends’ comments before you decide to buy. In this way they’ve encouraged real interaction around their brand are considering their customer’s actual purchasing journey
Skittle vs David Phoenix
Skittles certainly do social media a little differently than everyone else and their most recent Facebook campaign is no exception. It involved a character ‘David Phoenix’ who did battle with the fans of the Skittles page by claiming he could beat them in a challenge which saw him gradually buried by Skittles. The user interaction on this campaign was enviable – fans got to add more skittles into the pot simply by clicking, then via a livestream you could see your skittles getting poured on top of the challenger. Brilliantly whacky, this was a great Facebook campaign by Skittles that drew a lot of attention at the time.
Facebook Offline
So this one is not actually technically on the Facebook website but it does use plenty of facebook terminology in the real world as Diesel launch Facepark…7-Eleven and Zynga
In a joint promotional campaign, 7-Eleven decided to improve their kudos among their younger consumers by introducing Zynga-branded products into their stores. The special products which included slush puppies and drinks, contained promotional codes that could be redeemed against Zynga’s games on Facebook. Though some thought this was a little over the top by Zynga and essentially saw it as a store takeover, I think it’s an interesting approach to bring the likes of Farmville and Mafia Wars into the real world.
Clairol fans grow 944% in 24 hours
Impressive growth like this on the Clairol Facebook page was backed up by a huge giveaway campaign for their new product ‘Nice n Easy colour blend foam’. The brand launched a competition on their Facebook page to give away 100,000 packets over 4 days – and the fans certainly grew. The giveaway was launched at the end of January and while they started with 27,000 fans they now have an impressive 262,000 on the page. It shows the power of simple competition and giving the fans what they want!
