FMCG social media campaign case studyIncreasing customer engagement
CHALLENGE
Häagen-Dazs wanted to increase customer engagement on their UK Facebook page and build awareness and bookings for the new Boudoir campaign through word-of-mouth
The Boudoir
BACKGROUND
The Boudoir was an exclusive real-life ‘pop-up club’ led by Cat Deeley, developed by Häagen-Dazs as part of the ‘It’s girls time’ campaign to promote the new Mini-Cups product.
During the campaign fans could book a slot in The Boudoir for a great night out with the girls where they would meet celebrities, fashion experts, DJs and of course eat Häagen-Dazs.
WHAT WE DID
Our strategy for this campaign was to place The Boudoir experience in the context of an online community with a purpose: ‘to enhance your girls time’
