Festive Tour

Pier was briefed to raise awareness of the limited-edition Fridge Raiders Chicken and Stuffing Bites across social media to drive trial and create excitement. With a quick turnaround needed, this was an ideal opportunity for us to channel our creative energy and flex our robust social media skills to bring a campaign from ideation to life in just over a week.

The festive period is known for being a noisy time for brands to gain traction on social media. We knew we needed to elevate the campaign in a way that achieved cut-through to existing followers on the Fridge Raiders channels, as well as reach new audiences.

Visiting Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, London and Bournemouth, we ensured our locations covered a wide geographical spread across the UK. Followers were asked to guess the location to be in with the chance of winning a bundle of the limited-edition product and high-value prizes.

With festive fun sitting at the heart of the campaign, we drummed up excitement by building intrigue and keeping the competition rounds fresh with a new location and prize every day. This built to the final day where we gave away the biggest prize of the week. By keeping the same simple mechanic throughout, we successfully established familiarity with audiences to encourage repeat engagement.

To involve followers further, Pier captured behind-the-scenes content detailing the journey to the secret location and notable landmarks to create Reels. This content was posted to social media featuring trending sounds on Instagram that aligned with the festive nature of the activity, to further the reach of the campaign. The Reel content alone generated an organic engagement rate of 7% on Instagram, well above the industry standard.

Elevated beyond the everyday Instagram competition, our campaign directly tapped into an audience excited to see the tour come to their city, and generated buzz around the product.
