OCBC Bank Indonesia - OCBC #Save20s Challenge
OCBC NISP Bank successfully challenged Indonesian youth to save 20K Rupiahs daily through its #Save20 Hashtag Challenge. The bank discovered that a Branded Hashtag Challenge was the best way to communicate one straightforward message: save, and you will reap the benefits. The challenge also ensured that this message is understood, leading to improved brand recall.
OCBC NISP Bank used Branded Effects to give participants a sneak peek at the benefits of saving 20K Rupiahs every day. The Advertised Impact will appear and display one of three possible outcomes: a trip to Paris, a business opportunity that would put them on a "30 under 30" list, or an opportunity to purchase a big-ticket item such as jewelry by making one of three hand gestures.
Mirinda Thailand - #สนุกซ่าไม่มีซ้ำำ
#สนุกซ่าไม่มีซ้ำ ("#UniquelyFun" in English) was the theme of Mirinda Thailand's Branded Hashtag Challenge, which featured a pleasant gesture-activated Branded Effect accompanied by a catchy branded song. The Branded Effect used bold, eye-catching graphics, vivid colors, and a memorable background track to capture the attention of viewers' eyes and ears.
Mirinda invited participants to dress up in costumes that matched or complemented each soda flavor's colors and express themselves through dance to make it even more enjoyable. The choreography itself could be improvised to keep things straightforward, allowing each user to view the challenge in their own unique way. The Branded Hashtag Challenge was also combined with TopView and In-Feed Ads to help spread the word about the ongoing campaign around TikTok.
Bayer Vietnam - #BeroccaMango2PM HTC Campaign
The #BeroccaMango2PM Hashtag Challenge was launched on TikTok by HTC Campaign Berocca® Performance, inviting participants to join the #BeroccaMango2PM dance set to hip and catchy music. A Branded Hashtag Challenge is exciting and entertaining, similar to the energy boost you get from an energy drink, so it's ideal for this campaign.
Around 2 p.m., as people begin to feel the effects of the afternoon depression, an extra boost of energy is most required. Berocca® decided to associate this hour with its Berocca® Performance Mango drink so that when 2 p.m. arrives and exhaustion sets in, the first energy supplement that comes to mind is Berocca® Performance.
