Personalised packaging

Posted on March 31, 2016July 5, 2021 by Cimigo

More brands seek to involve their consumers with personalised packaging for viral marketing in Asia. For Vietnamese Woman’s Day on 8th March, Vaseline launched a campaign Only You, where consumers could add their photo to the Vaseline Healthy White Instant Fair variant. Photos could be submitted online or taken at a Vaseline booth in shopping malls.

Personalised packaging for viral marketing

Personalised packaging plays to Asian consumers’ desire to share photos and new experiences on social media. Involving consumers in such a personal way is key to the success of many viral campaigns.

Coca-Cola Vietnam first personalised packaging on their Coke cans in mid 2014 with Vietnamese names to popular success and a strong viral marketing impact. The campaign evolved to adding emoticons in 2015. In Coke’s own words; leveraging emoticons which are integral to youth’s social currency is a way to boost the brand’s relevance in this mobile and digital era, giving us a much richer ground to engage with our consumers.

McDonald’s emotional activation

Posted on March 30, 2016July 5, 2021 by Cimigo

McDonald’s is celebrating its 25th years in Indonesia. McDonald’s is asking consumers to reminisce happy times spent with them. Emphasising the happiness and enjoyment at McDonald’s and not just telling consumers about the delights of their menu. McDonald’s emotional activation is placing emotion before function.

McDonald’s emotional activation before function

McDonald’s consumers may participate in various engaging emotional activations including a long march parade that was held on Sarinah Thamrin, Central Jakarta in February. The theme was ‘Bring Back Lovin’ Memories’. With the ‘Bring Back Lovin Memories’ theme, McDonald’s held a contest where consumer’s were invited to share their photo and memories, whilst enjoying McDonald’s with friends and families. The best story will be used for McDonald’s upcoming TV advertisement.

There is also an event to introduce a new jingle of McDonald’s re-arrange by Malliq & D’ Essentials (a popular band in Indonesia). If consumers can memorise and sing the full jingle during the event, they would get a free meal from McDonald’s. Jingles are under utilised by today’s marketers and Cimigo has proven time and time again in our Asia advertising research, that they provide a powerful hook to evoke memories of a brand and all that it connotes.

Somewhat similar to the famous and hugely successful Big Mac campaign of 1974 (yes I am old enough to recall this) where the Big Mac name was popularised by an advertising campaign featuring a list of the ingredients in a Big Mac: “Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions – on a sesame seed bun”.

McDonald’s consumers, as well as young fans of Maliq & d’Essentials, will likely be more than happy to participate.
