Final Execution

Visual Approach: Brief to the public

Social media is a powerful tool that people use to express what's important to them, which is why these platforms are so fitting for this campaign. This brief to the public taps into people’s natural inclination to posting by asking its followers to express more and specifically about how the brand inspires them.

 

The response expected is for Karma Cola’s loyal fan base to churn out a harmonious stream of content for us to curate on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Providing honest, authentic user-generated content that is a direct reflection of the heart and soul of the brand.

Seeded Artwork

Artwork will be created and then seeded on the various social media platforms by the team and Karma Cola to inspire the general public. Using the brand as inspiration to create work. This is done to motivate consumers and give them examples of the innovative way to interpret this creative call to action.

'A picture can be worth a thousand words', which is why visual-based platforms like Instagram have grown at a faster rate than other social platforms like Facebook. As our campaign is visually lead, the efficiency and instantaneous nature of Instagram makes it the ideal host. However, to attain maximum exposure this campaign will also be carried on through Facebook and Twitter using the same hashtag.
