GRAB LIFE BY THE BISCUITS

THE BRIEF

Launch BelVita Breakfast biscuits into the South African market.

THE CAMPAIGN

Getting off to a good start sets up the rest of your day. BelVita biscuits help make that happen, so we created our own version of that other staple morning feel good treat : a live Breakfast Show. Except ours was on Facebook and Twitter, simultaneously. And it was four hours long, because BelVita biscuits give you sustained energy. Honestly, dunno if we really thought this one all the way through. But hey, it was a lot of fun.

THE RESULTS

Hours of high energy fun really got the point across, and almost 300 000 people tuned in to watch.

We let everyone know what was coming their way, because, well, South Africans didn’t know about BelVita and no one had ever done a four hour morning show live on social media before.
