Capturing the Pulse of Digital Sentiment
In an innovative marketing move, Chicken Republic, a name synonymous with quality and taste in Nigeria, tapped into the burgeoning love and loyalty it has garnered online. Since July 2023, the brand experienced a significant surge in positive sentiment across digital platforms, notably among both long-standing customers and newcomers.
Capitalising on this digital affection, Chicken Republic embarked on an audacious journey to bring online enthusiasm into the physical world of billboards across Lagos, Nigeria, orchestrating a seamless integration of online and offline marketing strategies.
Curating Digital Enthusiasm
Understanding the power of authentic customer voices, our approach involved an intricate process of selection and curation:
1. Tweet Curation: From a plethora of positive brand mentions, we meticulously selected 10 tweets that perfectly encapsulated the brand’s essence, eventually narrowing it down to 7 exceptional testimonials.
2. Strategic Billboard Placement: We strategically chose locations in Lagos for our billboards, ensuring each was in close proximity to Chicken Republic outlets. This deliberate placement meant maximizing visibility to both current and potential customers.
An Offline Extension of Online Love
This initiative wasn’t just about advertising; it was about celebrating and amplifying real, unsolicited brand endorsements from everyday Nigerians. By bringing these tweets to larger-than-life billboards, Chicken Republic created a tangible and public testament to its online popularity.
Simultaneously, we repositioned traditional influencers as ‘perception managers’. Their role was pivotal in demystifying the offer for new audiences, reassuring them of the genuineness and value of the “buy one get one free” deal. This dual-track influencer strategy not only broadened our reach but also deepened trust in our brand.
From Billboards Back to Bytes
The offline exposure created a boomerang effect. Commuters, intrigued by these real-life tweets, took to the internet, reigniting and expanding the conversation. This strategy blurred the lines between online and offline, creating a continuous loop of engagement and excitement.
