Community Marketing Strategy

1. Identifying the best communities for Community Marketing

To help the brand achieve its objectives, we identified communities where conversations around fussy eating, picky eaters, milk haters, and kids aged 6-13 were happening. We selected the most relevant 47 women and parenting communities from these communities with 1.2M+ moms.

2. Analysing consumer insights from real conversations

To drive the campaign, we analyzed existing conversations in the select communities to understand consumers' choices, their thoughts on Kellogg's chocos, and their pain points like tackling fussy eating habits in kids. We found that:

  • A majority of moms think Kellogg's are loaded with artificial sugars and are a leading cause of tooth decay in kids.
  • Moms think that chocos are not good for kids as they're not nutritious.
  • There were no mentions of Kellogg's chocos anywhere in digital communities. However, people were talking about its competitors.

Coming across these insights, Kellogg's wanted to remove the mental barrier for moms by driving its brand RTBs. Hence, we focused on creating organic conversations for Kellogg's chocos, thereby increasing its SOV and influencing trials amongst the TG.

3. Community Marketing campaign idea

Aligning the brand objective and consumer insights, we planned a two-phase marketing campaign to create organic chatter around Kellogg's chocos. Each of the phases of this share-of-voice program was led by brand evangelists.

In the first phase, we focused on highlighting the pain points of moms and sharing Kellogg's chocos as a solution by highlighting its RTBs, and encouraging other moms in the community to try it. We shared personal stories of how moms were worried about their kids’ nutrition because they didn’t drink milk, telling how Kellogg's chocos was a game-changer.

Brand evangelists led these conversations and members actively started commenting on them with their thoughts, questions, and experiences. The brand evangelists ensured to close the conversation loop by sharing their positive personal experiences and encouraging members to try the product and share their experiences.

In the second phase, we focused on creating awareness about the different product variants (themed on cartoon characters) of Kellogg's chocos while driving consideration and encouraging trials for it. For the same, community admins hosted a fun contest in their respective communities. They asked moms to share a picture of their kids posing as their favourite superhero character coming in the new chocos pack. The admins tagged members and encouraged them to share their kids' photos creating further excitement and participation. One lucky entry was given an Amazon gift card worth INR 1000.

As moms, aka community members, shared their personal stories of Kellogg's chocos and participated in the contest, it led to an influx of conversations around the brand and a high share of voice.
