STRATEGY

Hao Hao, Vietnam's beloved instant noodle brand, marked its 23rd year with an innovative celebration that transformed "golden quality" into tangible gold rewards, tapping into the cultural reverence for gold as the pinnacle of excellence. This strategy aimed to not just remind consumers of Hao Hao’s commitment to quality but also to weave the brand’s story into the fabric of Vietnamese traditions, redefining excellence in the process.  

Through engaging digital content and unique real-world activations, the campaign sought to deepen consumer trust and loyalty, marrying the rich heritage of Vietnamese culture with creative celebration. This approach was designed to solidify Hao Hao’s status as a symbol of the highest standards, ensuring its place in the hearts of Vietnamese families as more than just a meal, but a part of their collective identity.

INSIGHT

Hao Hao recognized a prevailing sentiment among Vietnamese consumers: gold symbolises the utmost quality and prestige. Leveraging this perspective, the brand crafted a campaign that positioned its products as the "golden standard" of quality in the minds of consumers, creating an immediate association with high value. This strategy responded to the modern consumer's search for authenticity and connection with cultural traditions, setting Hao Hao apart in a crowded market.    

The campaign skillfully blended traditional values with contemporary appeal, resonating across demographics. By infusing its messaging with the reverence for gold, Hao Hao not only celebrated its product but also fostered a deeper connection with consumers. This approach bridged generations, appealing to both those who traditionally value gold and younger audiences drawn to creative and engaging experiences, thereby amplifying Hao Hao’s engagement with its nationwide audience.

CREATIVE IDEA

The main idea of Hao Hao strategically communicated the high quality of our products by creating a memorable link between its instant noodles and real gold. This initiative was not merely a statement of quality; it was a celebration of the brand's deep roots in Vietnamese culture, enhancing the traditional noodle-eating experience with a touch of luxury.

Marking 23 years of consumer trust, Hao Hao's celebration centred around the creation of the largest pan of gold-covered instant noodles. This gesture was a tribute to the loyalty of its customers, symbolising the brand's appreciation for decades of support.    

The decision to include real gold in promotional prizes further underscored this gratitude, embodying a promise of quality and trustworthiness. This unique approach did more than captivate attention; it set a new benchmark in Vietnam, not only for marketing creativity but for celebrating a shared heritage of excellence and community.    

These actions were designed to reinforce the bond between Hao Hao and its consumers, illustrating the brand's commitment to quality and its role in bringing people together. By inviting consumers to share in this momentous occasion, Hao Hao not only commemorated its longstanding relationship with its customers but also reinforced a sense of community and shared happiness.    

The inclusion of gold prizes and the gold-covered noodles were not just acts of celebration but powerful symbols of the trust and connection that Hao Hao has cultivated over the years, setting a gold standard for celebrating consumer loyalty and cultural heritage.

CONNECTION PLAN

Hao Hao's connection plan was a multi-angle approach leveraging a diverse digital channel mix to ensure effective communication. The campaign covered across various platforms, from social media to on-ground activations, creating a seamless omnichannel experience to meet all consumers’ touchpoints and maximise campaign presence.    

Digital platforms were utilised to spread interest and generate buzz, using visual storytelling, engaging content, and interactive challenges that invited consumer participation and content creation.

KOLs partnerships amplified the campaign’s reach, while real-time social media interactions boosted consumer engagement. On-ground events like the record-setting gold-plated pan experience served to reinforce the digital campaign in tangible, memorable experiences.
