32. DIGITAL & SOCIAL ASSETS DEVELOPMENT
LUX
Challenge: After nearly 90 years as the world’s number one soap brand and
reaching millions of women around the world, Lux tasked us to strengthen their
position as an iconic beauty brand. Our challenge was to drive awareness of new
innovation in the cleansing category by building brand love with a younger target
audience using PR and social media.
Creative: It was our responsibility to ensure all markets understood the role of PR
and social media and were equipped with exciting creative ideas and content. To
achieve this, we led the brand’s largest ever survey to thousands of women
around the world to uncover what hot topics resonate with them. We created
global PR and social media assets to ensure world-class campaign execution in the
brand’s key growth markets and developed a global three part PR measurement
tool for the brand to track success.
Change: All 25 markets use our integrated PR and social media assets. Our
evaluation tool has helped drive a change in mindset in each market, helping them
achieve ROI up to three times higher than before. In social media, our engagement
levels outperformed most category competitors and we achieved a growth rate of
over 600% on Facebook over the first 16 months.
33. TIME TO BE A DEVIL
Challenge: In an ultra-competitive and crowded wine market how can a
brand like Casillero del Diablo stand out in the mind of Asian consumers?
How to create buzz, engage with wine lovers, make this brand relevant?
Creative: Winemakers are perceived as artists and celebrities. That is true
of the international acclaimed winemaker behind Casillero Del Diablo. This
Chilean wine is often respectfully shortened to “The Diablo” or “The Devil”
so we took that idea and used it as the platform upon which to bring
Marcelo Papa, the artist behind “The Diablo”, on his first ever tour of Asia.
We made him the center of a multi-market, integrated campaign comprising
real-time social content, live events and social ads. We associated him with
the Diablo icon to create buzz, engaging content and exclusive events all
under the hashtag of #TimeToBeADevil
Change: This ‘devilish’ 10 day campaign created huge buzz reaching
1,018,621 people, engaged with 65,810 wine lovers and acquired 6,433
new fans. Overall Marcelo Papa’s popularity spread and the campaign
reinforced the brand as a wine authority across the region.
CASILLERO DEL DIABLO
34. Challenge: Many people in Hong Kong are ambivalent to the issues facing Asian Elephants.
The parade, supported by Swire Properties Ltd, placed over 100 uniquely designed
elephants across three of Swire’s shopping malls to promote elephant conversation. In
addition to launching the parade, our job was to enable people to engage with it socially to
help paint a brighter future for the elephants.
Creative: We created a simple call to action for people to ‘Be Part of It’. We created the
parade’s Facebook page and used this as the main social platform to drive engagement. A
large Instagram video wall was installed to encourage people to post and share their photos.
Facebook and Instagram competitions drove engagement even further and we used
prominent KOLs to spark conversations around the plight of the Asian Elephant and the
ivory trade.
Change: Over 1,500 photos were shared on Instagram with the hashtag #elephantparadehk.
More than 300 conversations were generated on Facebook and Twitter with prominent
online media and celebrities calling attention to the issues facing Asian Elephants. The
combined reach of the social conversations was over 1.2 million people. The Elephant
Parade Facebook page saw a significant growth of 2,300 fans. Most importantly, the
combination of the 520 pieces of media coverage and the social conversations helped raised
over $270,000 USD for the Asia Elephant Foundation at the final charity auction.

35. SPOON BOYS: CONSUMER WORD OF MOUTH
Challenge: When Danone launched its new BIO Super Creamy range of products,
it had to contend with an already fiercely competitive market. Golin was tasked to
create an event as memorable as possible to make young urban office ladies want
to try this new thick and creamy “spoonable” yoghurt and to generate word of
mouth.
Creative: We created a sexy idea from insights from target consumers resulting in
our campaign idea: ‘Let French Spoon Boys feed you indulgency’. We launched
teasers in print newspaper and videos on a microsite to raise curiosity around a
casting session searching for ‘French Spoon Boys’ ahead of consumer trial events.
On top of major outdoor events in Shanghai and Guangzhou, we designed office
sampling events via online voting to extend the campaign reach.
Change: Over 25,000 consumers reached through physical events, 2,000 original
micro blog (Weibo) posts generated for the launch, Over 500+ mentions for each
office sampling event and 23 million media impressions.

36. DIGITAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA BRAND ECOSYSTEM
GALAXY ENTERTAINMENT
Combining their digital targets with strategic and
tactical partner opportunities in mainland China, we
used our proprietary tools to produce a framework to
serve as a roadmap for the next two years and as a
consistent reference to assess the impact of digital
campaigns. We mapped out a complete digital
ecosystem and produced a consumer journey for each
target audience, key imperatives and platforms and a
channel by channel activation plan for the year ahead.
Our task was to build a digital and social media
marketing ecosystem for the Galaxy Entertainment
Group’s (GEG) integrated resort in Macau which was
focused on building awareness and preference
amongst visitors from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in
China.
37. Challenge: Grow the social media community on China's popular WeChat
mobile platform and create a sustainable level of audience engagement
for the brand that translates into referrals as well as inbound travel
enquiries.
Creative: We designed a flexible yet strategic storytelling-based content
plan for Tiger Air's WeChat channel. Fully responsible for all creative
content development duties, as well as for community management on
the channel, our channel, our digital team took a balanced approach to
marketing and lifestyle content, crafting relevant offers that capitalized
on what was trending on social media in China across various popular
social media platforms.
Change: Quickly acquiring an active and loyal fanbase of over 3,000 fans
with the highest readership ever achieved for a story posted by the brand
to WeChat at nearly 1,000 unique views.
