In a controlled two-week trial we intercepted 2,000 local food photos in real-time The response to our timely food photo intercepts were 100 times higher than the average banner click through rate Social outreach generated support amongst well-known local celebrities, food influencers and UNICEF NZ ambassadors, delivering over 80,000 opportunities to see Following this success, UNICEF is now looking to run the campaign globally.
First we created UNICEF owned profiles on the mobile platform Instagram based on the identities of real UNICEF children. Then, using geo-targeted real-time notifications from social listening tools we intercepted food photo uploads using the UNICEF owned profiles to like them en masse. Just as they were about to enjoy their meal. Leveraging the mobile nature of social media we led people through to a responsive site, where they could donate and share UNICEF aid food photos on social media for their friends to see - just as they would with a regular food photo. Website traffic from Google Analytics was then used to optimize the UNICEF profiles used for first-contact to maximize response. Finally, we created a targeted influencer outreach campaign through Twitter and Instagram that targeted food bloggers, chefs, restaurant owners, UNICEF ambassadors and highly connected local celebrities to generate maximum earned coverage
12.5% of the World’s population don’t have enough to eat Yet in the developed world, we have food in such abundance that we’re obsessed with taking photos of our meals and sharing them on social media with mobile photo-sharing apps. It’s a widespread trend that shows no sign of slowing, with close to a million food photos uploaded every day. Our strategy: Harness the unstoppable food photo trend – to give UNICEF NZ a fresh approach to raising awareness and donations. Our idea: Use owned media and a timely interruptio to remind people who love food, of those who don’t have any. And turn their everyday behavior, into a simple way to prove that food photos really can save lives.
