sudocrem social media marketing success timeline
TRANSCRIPT
It started with a post... Sudocrem, one the UK’s top baby brands, had no social media presence before 2010.
Facebook was 6 years old; Twitter was only 4 years old, and Instagram had only just launched!
2010
Laying the foundations Activation of Facebook and Twitter social media channels. The Sudocrem blog was set up, and has become one of the most popular and influential brand centric baby and parenting blogs online. Relevant and interesting content is posted almost daily to ensure it remains fresh and current with a loyal readership.
2010
#AllBabiesCount Sudocrem donated 25p to NSPCC for every retweet of #AllBabiesCount. Overall, £25,000 was raised for the charity. Campaign was referenced approximately 6,700 times on Twitter and has appeared in the feeds of over 3,500,000 Twitter followers.
2011
Sudocrem Virtual Baby Shower The world’s first Virtual Baby Shower app hosted and managed via Facebook. Now a permanent feature on the Facebook page with hundreds of users each month. So far, there have been over 10,000 registered users to the app.
2012
Virtual Treasure Hunt Users had a choice of 4 maps where they could reveal prizes to win instantly. The app was awarded the prestigious Best OTC (Over The Counter) Campaign in Digital & Social Media 2014. It was so popular that we had to reset the app half way through the campaign! Sales grew dramatically for the campaign period!
2013
2014 Ready, Steady, Change A unique time challenge which invites parents to complete a three stage process, replicating the brand mantra of ‘Clean, Dry, Apply’. This was the first Sudocrem skill based game. Promotion across social channels reached 9.3 million people.
Fabulous Friday Freebies Users can come and play every Friday for the chance to win instant prizes. The app was so successful that it now runs as a permanent feature on the Facebook page. It draws in around 20,000 users every month.
2015
2015 What’s in the Nappy? Users opened virtual nappies for the chance to win instant prizes. The application introduced the ‘Nappy Rash Gremlin’, a new antagonist character for Sudocrem. Over 96,000 plays, the highest ever number of plays. The highest number of plays for a Sudocrem application to date.
