Community Marketing Strategy

1. Identifying the best communities for Community Marketing

To help the brand achieve its objectives, we identified communities where conversations around breakfast, breakfast mix, instant food, South Indian food, idli, dosa, uttapam, etc. were happening. We selected the most relevant 44 Women, Parenting and Cooking communities from these communities with 2.7 M+ members.

2. Analysing consumer insights from real conversations

To drive the campaign, we analyzed existing conversations in the selected communities to understand what people are talking about South Indian food. We found that:

  • Preparing South Indian food at home is cumbersome and time-consuming, and achieving the perfect consistency and texture is hard. 
  • South Indian food is considered healthy and nutritious and is highly recommended for breakfast by dieticians today.
  • Ordering South Indian food at home is least preferred as it turns soggy and loses its crispiness until delivered. 

Coming across these insights, MTR aimed to establish relevance with the members and drive consideration by highlighting its key benefits. Hence, we focused on driving word-of-mouth advocacy for MTR, establishing it as the top breakfast choice for South-Indian food. 

3. Community Marketing campaign idea

Aligning the brand objective and consumer insights, we planned a two-phase marketing campaign to create organic chatter around MTR breakfast mixes. Community admins led each of the phases of this advocacy program. 

In the Delhi & Mumbai communities, admins shared how difficult and long-drawn it is to prepare South Indian food at home. However, with MTR breakfast mixes, it’s become convenient to prepare South Indian food any time, and everyone loves it. They further encouraged community members to try it out and share their thoughts. 

In the Bangalore communities, admins highlighted how preparing Rava idlis for breakfast at home is a huge task, considering the shortage of time. However, with MTR’s rava idli mix, one can have amazing rava idlis while preparing them in a fraction of the time. They further encouraged community members to try it out and share their thoughts.
