CASE STUDY: Strongbow, Sky Media and MTV

Provided by Sky Media
Refreshers Week, presented by Strongbow, redefines the beverage's brand perception in British culture.

What was the Challenge / Background of the Campaign?

Strongbow's key aim was that they wanted to redefine how the beverage was perceived within British culture. The campaign needed to have 2 clear objectives. The first was to change the brand perception of Strongbow into one that reminds people of a time where they were most free, signalling a release from the excessive seriousness of everyday life. The second was to increase consideration of Strongbow, driving intent to purchase.

What was the Campaign Objective?

The motive for the campaign was that, as a direct result of the AFP and the wider MTV activity, likeability of Strongbow would significantly increase & achieve both these objectives.

What was the Solution?

A collaboration across Sky Media, Elephant House and MTV looked to produce a bespoke campaign, with content spanning across multiple touchpoints and comprising of five core elements to achieve Strongbow's goals: an AFP, TV commercials, paid and social branded content, editorial social support and a headline sponsorship of Club MTV's Freshers Tour events.

The editorial social organically achieved +496k impressions across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

What were the Key Learnings of this Campaign?

By leveraging across multiple platforms, we were able to add an additional layer of comms to a specific audience segment, supporting our wider brand campaign."
