The Objective

When it comes to food, young Filipinos gravitate toward options that are accessible, affordable, and yet, tantalizing! Instant meals are a favorite, and the market brims with brands that cater to this demand. But as the love for instant meals gains steam, home-cooked dishes are slowly simmering on the back burner in the Philippines.

Knorr was on a mission to bring back the joy of home cooking and knew that Sinigang – a beloved comfort dish as warm as a hug – was just the ticket! The brand’s Sinigang soup bases aligned with Filipinos’ consumption and purchase behavior by being value-for-money, versatile, and lip-smacking.

Drawing young Filipinos toward the product range required an engaging strategy. For this, Knorr sought the perfect recipe that would not only increase product awareness but also spotlight the easy, multi-use nature of the soup bases.

The brand teamed up with InMobi and Mindshare for a delectable campaign that tantalized Filipinos’ tastebuds at the right moment. The smartphone, an integral part of Filipinos’ everyday life, became the key ingredient for product discovery and engagement.

Here is how Knorr’s campaign hit the sweet spot at the right time!

#1: Identifying and targeting the right audience

To make sure this campaign hit home, Knorr had to find the right audience based on their affinity. Leveraging InMobi Audiences, the brand targeted young cooks, mindful shoppers, and budget seekers and reached them via top Casual Gaming and Utility apps. Additionally, to boost exposure, niche apps in these categories were also added to the mix.

#2: Boosting engagement through mobile

For the creative and messaging strategy, the brand decided to create an experience that would engage multiple senses for the Filipinos and make them crave a bowl of Sinigang. Mobile was the platter on which Knorr served an interactive rich media unit – a Roulette featuring five mouth-watering Sinigang dishes. As Filipinos spun the wheel to a catchy brand jingle, the game stopped on one of the five recipes. A tempting call-to-action, “Get Recipe”, led them straight to Knorr’s website, where even more delicious recipes were ready to be explored and devoured. This game was a feast for the senses, leaving Filipinos hungry for more.

#3: Perfectly timed delivery

Considering rainy days are synonymous with warm, comforting dishes like Sinigang, Knorr wanted to reach Filipinos exactly when the crave for it. The brand employed weather targeting to deliver the rich media experience on mobile. This clever tactic helped Knorr reach Filipinos with hyperlocal ads served at the perfect moment – when the skies opened up, and the cravings kicked in.

The outcome? A campaign that hit the spot every time it rained!

The Results

With each downpour, Knorr’s Sinigang warmed hearts and homes across the Philippines.

The brand achieved success with its innovative use of mobile and unique weather targeting. The numbers speak for themselves and are simply delicious!
