Unilever also needed to get current/lapsed users to pantry load and non-users to purchase and try their food brands (Knorr, Royco, Lipton & Blue band).
During this sensitive period in Northern Nigeria and the country at large; connecting with these consumers to create love for the brands and actively engaging with them in a period of an important religious exercise seemed impossible, there were questions “How best can we reach these consumers?” “Would these consumers engage on our social platforms?” “Would non-users from these regions be interested in our food brands?” “Would these consumers accept our content?”
And of course, we also had to reach and engage with Muslim consumers in the South West of Nigeria[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1453385713751{margin-top: 50px !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”][vc_column][trx_title type=”2″ align=”left” font_weight=”700″ color=”#336699″ bottom=”40px”]What We Did[/trx_title][trx_line color=”#336699″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”1640,1631,1300″][trx_button]View Site[/trx_button][vc_btn title=”View Site” style=”flat” shape=”square” color=”primary” align=”left” link=”url:%23||”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]We created the ‘Let’s come together’ campaign to bring all our Muslim consumers together.
The idea was to create a platform that brings families and loved ones together and enable individuals fully reap the spiritual benefits that come with the season.
Mobile was at the centre of our deployment. Consumers could opt-in to receive morning Call-to-prayers simply by giving a miss call to a dedicated mobile number or by sending a request to a short-code number or by opting in via a dedicated microsite for Unilever Ramadan. And thus, the opted-in consumers received Call-to-prayers everyday at 5.30am.
The Unilever Ramadan microsite brought together all the savory brands on one platform. Consumer centric content from tips for families to Ramadan recipes were used to engage with site visitors, this included a contest themed ‘Ramadan Moments That Matters’
On the microsite, consumers also shared with Unilever what social vice they were giving up for Ramadan. We supported these consumers by sending them personalized motivational messages through the fasting period.
Social media was an important tool as all Unilever savory brands social pages were pulled together to share the Ramadan message and cross-sell the food brands.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1453385751868{margin-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”][vc_column][trx_title type=”2″ align=”left” font_weight=”700″ color=”#336699″ bottom=”40px”]Result[/trx_title][trx_line color=”#336699″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”left-to-right”]
