Pick up where standard brand awareness campaigns finish and drive a lead generation program that ultimately influences sales.

BRAND:  Spriggy is pocket money. Updated!

BACKGROUND:  As transactions increasingly move online Spriggy identified a need in the market for a way to teach ‘tweens’ practical saving and money management skills with a parental controlled, pre-paid debit card. This product type relied on educating the consumer to fully communicate core messages

OBJECTIVES:  Spriggy wanted to trial an influencer marketing campaign with the objective of generating consumer leads.  To do this, Spriggy collaborated on a campaign with Kids Business to coordinate a program with 6 influencers and at the same time, test the performance against a similar program they were coordinating independently with one of Australia’s leading online media outlets (marketing to Mums) to see which option would provide the best returns. Kids Business was tasked with coordinating and delivering an influencer marketing campaign to:

• Pre-qualify, secure and establish collaborations with well-aligned and well informed bloggers that understood the brand ethos and was a genuine advocate.
• Drive click throughs
• Generate leads
• Build awareness around the Spriggy brand
• Educate more mums to the benefits of Spriggy as a pocket money management tool so they can make informed decisions moving forward

RESULTS: Greater conversion, amplified reach, more content, stronger relevance to the brand message.

“Thanks to the (Kids Business) trial, we are confident that we can make a program work with influencers as part of an ongoing brand awareness program”

By investing in the time to identify and educate influencers properly about the brand, a greater connection to the brand was established and more relevant, outstanding content created. Full results include:

• Kids Business delivered 3 x greater conversion than one of Australia’s leading websites – for the same price!
• 6 in depth influencer collaborations cemented with a group of representatives that boasted a combined social reach of 500K+, 5x greater than promised.
• The actual reach/visibility of the content created was in excess of 150K
• 28 pieces of amazing exposure (50% more than promised) was created, including 5 videos promoting ease of use and key benefits of Spriggy.
• Personalised stories from carefully selected influencers with children in the target market. Content was designed to carefully address public concerns and communicate the social value of online debit cards for tweens. Spriggy educated mums about key features and benefits of their service.
• Feedback from bloggers about what they and their audience engaged with shaped future content themes for Spriggy.
