Knorr is a food brand owned by Unilever, producing soup and meal mixes, bouillon cubes, snacks, and spices. Unilever also owns brands such as Magnum ice cream, Dove soap and Axe / Lynx.
In order to engage and better understand the preferences of Gen-Z, a previously untapped audience who spends most of their time watching their favorite creators on live streaming platforms, Knorr turned to LIVAD.
Challenge:
Most advertising formats offer limited engagement opportunities beyond a simple click or video view. This made it difficult for Knorr to generate insights on their consumers’ preferences and establish a two-way dialogue with them. While promoting their Mac & Cheese product, Knorr wanted to make its campaign memorable through a more interactive and authentic delivery.
Strategy:
Leveraging LIVAD’s Interactive Overlays, the Knorr team has developed a two-part campaign strategy. First, an interactive poll asked the viewers when they prefer consuming quick, easy, and delicious recipes. Then, once the audience had a chance to vote, a non-intrusive overlays highlighting Knorr’s Mac & Cheese was served. Throughout the campaign, Just Chatting category was targeted for maximum engagement, as this is a category where streamers continuously interact with their viewers.
Results:
Creators: 363 creators participated in the campaign
Reach: 545K viewers were reached
Engagement Rate: 4,01% achieved
Poll Responses: 16,600 responses were received to the poll
