[FRESH IN TASTE, FRESH IN MIND WITH FRESH MILK 100% FOR FESTIVE SEASON]
After years of leading the liquid milk market as the top-of-mind brand among Vietnamese consumers across generations, Fresh Milk 100% has been facing common yet tricky challenges: (1) How to continue increasing consumption frequency and (2) How to debunk preconceived perception among mass consumers about the usage occasion of liquid milk besides being just as a source of nutrition via daily drinking.
According to Research and Markets, currently the average milk consumption per capita in Vietnam is only 27 liters/person/year, while that in Thailand is 35 liters/person/year, and Singapore is 45 liters/person/year with liquid milk not just being used for daily drinking purposes only but also for making drinks and cooking.
Going beyond the conventional boundaries and mundane, FM 100% aimed to deploy a campaign that could constantly help to unlock these above-mentioned challenges and strengthen its new positioning “Being fresh everyday”. Leveraging the rising popularity of 1 liter milk pack during the recent years for family and cooking purposes, the campaign focused on promoting this product line (flavor: non or less sugar) and generated the brand’s freshness via a unique collection of recipes for festive season.
With simple but playful twist, consumers from all generations can engage to co-create unique, simple-to-do but visually fresh and appealing recipes with FM 100%. As such, FM 100% has become an indispensable companion and a source of inspirations for thousands of consumers to welcome the year-end season with fresh perspective.
INSIGHT
[CHALLENGE FOR HANDS YET SATISFACTION FOR EYES]
As the main target audience of this campaign is house prouds and Gen MZ who have inclination for exploration and challenge, we observed their limited perception of white milk's potentiality, often considering it for only a few bland applications. Therefore, we aimed to create a collection of recipes that not only delivered visually appealing results but also incorporated simple yet interesting techniques to engage their attention on social media.
CREATIVE IDEA
“TƯƠI MỚI MÙA LỄ HỘI CÙNG FM100%”
The core message was clear from the outset: capturing the "fresh" spirit of fresh milk taste, fresh packaging, and fresh holiday festivities. However, the essence lay in the recipes we crafted with our food expert during ideation, ensuring they were visually captivating to attract users on social media. The standout recipes that earned our vote were: "Secret Santa Chocolate Bomb" and "Golden Milked Koi Fish."
The campaign ingeniously surprised users by flipping their perception of such a fundamental product as FM100%. It transformed the conventional perception that fresh milk is not relevant during festive season into the unsung hero of marvelous festive dishes, skillfully tapping into the motivations of youngsters who revel in decorating food with creativity during festive occasions. As such, the campaign not only elevated the product's significance but also resonated with the desire for elevated culinary experiences to celebrate the year-end season among house prouds and Gen MZ.
CONNECTION PLAN
Within limited resources amid the most competitive time of the year in terms of media consumption, the campaign’s strategy defined content platform & influencer approach as the two winning points. In terms of contents, the potentiality of video platform in the modern era of food related topics was utilized to the ultimate level. At the same time, the campaign’s budget was used wisely by targeting a big pool of content creators, from Macro, Micro and Nano level rather than using big Celebrities, during a short period of time to create halo effects.
Phase 1: CHRISTMAS x FM100%.
During the Christmas period, FM100% introduced "Secret Santa Chocolate Bomb", a thrilling yet simple creation involving molding chocolate, using milk and gelatin to craft mini "secrets" inside, and melting the bauble with warm fresh milk. This delectable recipe gained widespread attention, making “Secret Santa Chocolate Bomb” become one of the most talked about food trends on social media. Top high-performing KOLs from young food content creators with million-viewed videos such as Thanh Tuyen Daily, Châu Muối to hot family-oriented KOLs such as Hai Em Bé Lai enthusiastically joined their hands to create videos on TikTok and Facebook. The campaign gathered millions of views, engaging audiences across platforms. Phase 2: TET x FM100%
Transitioning into the Tet period, FM100% continued to aim high by taking customers on a unique culinary journey with a diverse set of recipes that convey wishes for a joyful New Year.
According to statistics by Crowdtangle, more than 130 million discussions recorded on social media during Tet celebration are to convey wishes and blessings for the new year, which can be divided into three territories: Wishing for health, prosperity, and love. Taking into consideration this incredible insight, FM100% introduced 4 creative recipes, among which the "Golden Milked Koi Fish” became another standout recipe.
