How will Asia Pacific perform at Cannes this year? In the lead up to the Festival, Campaign Brief Asia will be showcasing the work we hope will impress the judges…

MRM//McCann Singapore

Hershey’s Happygrams is a real-time social media marketing campaign that used social listening to respond directly to user status posts with personalised Happygrams – virtual Hershey’s chocolates carrying interactive messages written specifically for each user and designed to do what real Hershey’s chocolates do best: to make everyday moments better.

 

The campaign smashed all targets, revitalizing the brand and helping grow market share while building strong affinity for founder Milton S. Hershey’s 112 year-old mission to spread cheer to the world, one smile, one person, one moment at a time.

Can a share help save a life? The Red Cross Connection is a social media-powered mobile app that turns Singapore’s youth into a network of volunteers to help find donors for specific blood types.

 

Whenever blood is needed, the Red Cross can use the app to send Blood Alerts: push messages that act as micro campaigns asking users to donate a specific blood type or share the alert on Facebook and Twitter to reach possible new donors. If the user is a match, the app helps them locate the nearest blood centre and donors can use the app to scan a code to record their blood donations on their profile, with each blood donation potentially saving up to three lives.
