2020 left deep marks in all of us – for better or worse. The purpose of the Open To Better campaign was to share personal experiences from the corona lockdown, learn from each other, and inspire positive change – to be #OpenToBetter. It was the first campaign from Coca-Cola in eight months and our recommendation was to kick it off on the first day of 2021! #OpenToBetter.
New cans, with positive quotes on the packaging, had been produced, and Coca-Cola wanted to do this using a large-scale influencer and PR campaigns in Denmark. We were ready!
Personal stories from 45 influencers, a nationwide analysis that revealed the Danes’ most popular corona-resolutions, and a campaign site where you could find insights and inspiration from an expert to help you envision your goals and dreams. These where the three focal points of the campaign – apart of course from the new cans with quotes from Danes. The first ever.
The Danes’ most popular corona-resolutions on the Coca-Cola cans
We prepared a PR strategy, focusing on creating publicity in both national, regional, local, lifestyle media and trade media.
To create a strong PR hook, we conducted a YouGov analysis revealing what the Danes wanted to change in their lives and what key learnings to carry forwards after a year challenged by corona.
The most popular “corona-resolutions” from the analysis were featured on the cans to inspire Danes to do remember the positive learnings and be #Open To Better. By using regional data, we were able to see which corona-resolutions were most popular in the individual regions, and in this way, we could target our PR efforts regionally and locally.
The influencers’ personal corona-stories
We carefully selected 45 micro and macro-influencers who shared their personal stories and experiences from the time of the corona lockdown. , They did that on the first day of the year. We tapped right into a day when most people look back at the year that has passed and set a new direction for the new year. The influencers wrote their personal corona-resolutions directly ion the blanck box on the can, engaging their followers to share their own experiences and “corona-resolutions”, using the campaign hashtag.
Expert help and vision boards on the campaign site
On the campaignsite you could find insights and inspiration from a psychologist to help you set and achieve your goals and dreams in 2021. Influencers shared their personal tips and stories and, created vision boards for 2021.
We created a campaign with great engagement among influencers and managed to create a large reach geographically and demographically.
On the influencer part, we secured a total accumulated gross reach of+7 million. 86 % of all influencers’ post had a higher reach than their usual average and 6,77 in engagement rate.
In the Danish media, we had 49 mentions, and we secured an ROI factor of +7. 100% of the reviews mentioned the analysis and 86 % of the mentions carried product images.
