Background
Situation: In an increasingly anthropomorphic social media environment, the Burger King Brazil and Netflix Brazil profiles initiated a playful interaction.
Brief: Capitalize on this interaction to create a sustained, engaging narrative on TikTok.
Objectives: Drive engagement, increase follower count across platforms, and establish a viral brand narrative without additional advertising costs.
Idea
Turning an innocuous online flirtation into a full-blown romantic saga, the campaign anthropomorphized Burger King and Netflix into a couple experiencing a relationship lifecycle on TikTok—from dating to cohabiting to having a 'child.' This narrative not only entertained but also engaged users by blurring the lines between reality and digital storytelling, offering a fresh take on brand interactions.
Strategy
Data gathering: Monitored real-time interactions and engagement metrics.
Target audience: Young, socially-active TikTok users in Brazil.
Relevance to social platform: TikTok's format and culture of surreal, humorous content made it the perfect venue.
Approach: Utilize TikTok's narrative style to develop a series of engaging posts and interactions, maintaining momentum with timely, resonant content.
Execution
Implementation: Strategically timed posts and interactive content on TikTok.
Timeline: Executed over several weeks to maintain user interest and engagement.
Placement: Content was exclusively placed on TikTok to leverage platform-specific features.
Scale: Aimed to reach national audiences, capitalizing on TikTok’s widespread use among the demographic.
Outcome
Reach: Over 100 million free impressions.
Engagement: 123.7 million profile interactions and 26.9 million likes.
Sales: N/A, as the campaign aimed at awareness and engagement, not direct sales.
Brand perception: Strengthened as innovative and engaging.
Achievement against business targets: Gained over 600K new followers, vastly exceeding initial targets with $0 spent on advertising and post boosting. All 100% organic.
