Case Study Nescafé AZERA Influencer Marketing May 2018
Tailored Strategy Nescafé - May 2018 The Challenges Target Audience To build their notoriety, Nescafé decided to target young men and women living in Switzerland that are interested in coffee, food, lifestyle, and fashion. Nescafé needed help launching their latest line of coffee, AZERA Intenso Espresso in the Swiss market. In order to increase overall brand awareness, engage audiences, and boost sales, the coffee giant would have to overcome a saturated market and win over audience members who may view the brand as too commercial or one-dimensional.
Our Campaign Strategy The Influencers To create a teaser feel for the release of the product, Influencers were encouraged to use the intimate format of Instagram Stories during the exclusive workshops. Influencers would also produce original recipes using the coffee to highlight its uses while hosting giveaways to maximize audience engagement. In order to popularize their new product, Upfluence proposed partnering with 10 prominent Swiss food/lifestyle influencers for two distinct campaigns: one in-person event (a barista workshop) and one classic- style sampling campaign. These partnerships included the right for Nescafé to re-use the created material for future PR purposes. Results Over 50 imaginative, insider-look content pieces that proved Nescafé AZERA to be a trendy new coffee.
