Filipinos famously love karaoke. So SPAM® created the Recipeoke campaign, combining step-by-step cooking instructions with catchy lyrics. On Facebook and YouTube, when our consumers are looking for new recipes, these quirky videos stood out from the seemingly identical recipe videos online. And the Recipeokes were also placed in popular karaoke bars. People can sing them and get served the dish they just learned to make.
SPAM® is loved by Filipinos, but it’s also more expensive than other brands. So, SPAM® wanted to reinforce its versatility through recipe videos. The task was to make them different from the hundreds of thousands already online. So that the SPAM® could strengthen brand affinity and also encourage consumers to search for and try new SPAM® recipes.
SPAM® made recipes sing, literally, with SPAM® Recipeokes. These cheesy sing-along karaoke videos are also step-by-step recipe videos.
Filipinos love to karaoke. It’s ubiquitous at every social event, from weddings to funerals. So, SPAM® created original karaoke videos that are also actual recipes, making it easier for people to remember how to make different SPAM® dishes.
We worked closely with top musicians to compose 6 original “recipeoke” videos. Each is patterned after a popular karaoke music genre: boyband, R&B, arena rock, 80s dances, power ballad, and soft rock. Each is ostensibly a love song between SPAM® and another ingredient, but also has step-by-step cooking instructions. These were launched on Facebook and YouTube. SPAM® asked people what other ingredients they wanted featured. And the brand, in collaboration with popular online artists, responded with new Recipeokes. As a follow-up, SPAM® tapped one of the Philippines’ most popular artists, Kyla. She starred in 5 additional Recipeokes inspired by nostalgic, diva music videos from the likes of Mariah, Celine and Whitney. These aired on TV nationwide, and were uploaded on to Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and even LED billboards. SPAM® also partnered with Rockstar KTV Bar for a promo where guests could sing the Recipeokes to get a SPAM dish free.
The response to the campaign was phenomenal. Campaign Asia released an article about “Spampocalypse” as the brand soared 500 places up in Asia’s top 1000 brands. The videos had triple the engagement vs the industry standard and 4 times the number of viewers turning sound on. There was an 18% increase in search interest. This resulted in 20% increase in sales in one of the top mall chains in the Philippines. The videos reached a total of 13 million views on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. And had a 28 total Facebook campaign post reach.
Saying Filipinos love karaoke is a huge understatement. The first karaoke machine was patented by Filipino, Roberto del Rosario, in 1975. Laws have been passed banning karaoke in residential area at certain hours. And it’s not unusual to see Filipinos mourning at a funeral with a song and mic. So, to differentiate SPAM® recipe videos from the hundreds of thousands already online, we latched on to this favorite Filipino pastime.
