Ksubaka’s playSpots help Nestle to engage with shoppers in China and stimulate demand for its CuiCuiSha Chocolate Wafers
- Campaign drives 70 million consumer impressions
- Interactive in store retail experience engages 15k shoppers per day
Shanghai, China. 3rd October 2016 - Ksubaka today revealed that it has worked with Nestle in China to engage shoppers in store and drive brand affinity of it CuiCuiSha Chocolate Wafers. The campaign saw Ksubaka remotely deploy an interactive branded Nestle mini game to its media network of touch screen playSpots, located in retail outlets throughout China. Consumers take a picture of their face (via the playSpot in-built camera), which is then integrated into the game play as an avatar as they try to catch as many floating CuiCuiSha Chocolate Wafers as they can in 30 seconds.
The campaign which ran between May 6th and July 13th 2016 delivered impressive results for Nestle:
- Shopper impressions: 70 million
- Campaign exposures: 48 million
- Shopper engagements (Mojos*): 1 million
(*a Mojo is a brand engagement that lasts 60+ seconds and ends with a reward screen, the average Mojo duration for this campaign was 74 seconds)
- Hours of engagement: 21,000
- CuiCuiSha wafers caught in game: 50 Million
The branded mini game was deployed on 705+ playSpots across five cities in China. The campaign was delivered on screens over 700,000 times per day, engaging over 15,000 shoppers daily in a 74 seconds brand experience.
As part of the campaign, Ksubaka also ran an interactive survey via their playSpots which saw an 81% increase in purchase intent after completing the branded mini game.
For Nestle, Ksubaka’s media network of playSpots is an ideal way to extend existing CuiCuiSha Chocolate Wafer marketing initiatives right to the point of purchase within retail. Nestle sees the Ksubaka campaign as a means to deliver consumer engagement, brand affinity and to influence to purchase.
“The campaign with Nestle is an excellent example of how our rapidly expanding media network is enabling brands to extend their promotion right into the heart of retail,” said Julian Corbett, CEO and founder, Ksubaka.
“Typically a brand’s marketing activity is confined to just offers and discounts when it comes to retail, but with Ksubaka we are able to elongate brand marketing campaigns making engagement fun, rewarding and on message. We call this engagement a Moment of Joy or MoJo. Furthermore, brands that use our service are able to track, in real-time, the interactions and activity of their campaign,” finished Corbett.
