Cerveza Victoria: Cerveza Victoria Mother's Day

 

Campaign Summary

Cerveza Victoria helped sons and daughters mark Mother's Day by enabling them to create celebratory mariachi videos that could be shared on social media.

Strategy

Objective and Context:

Cerveza Victoria sought to build brand engagement with a highly compelling and viral Mother's Day campaign that offered fans of Cerveza Victoria a way to delight their mothers on the holiday, while at the same time maintaining social distance in keeping with the requirements of the coronavirus pandemic.

Cerveza Victoria built an interactive user experience, complete with an AI-driven, branded virtual assistant and consumer engagement platform. This enabled highly effective natural language interactions with persistent, personalized, messaging-based experiences to optimize the consumer journey. The brand capitalized on Facebook's Messenger with Click to Messenger Ads and the ability to re-engage users through notifications to create multiple personalized videos and easily share the experience with friends and family.

Target Audience:

The target audience for this campaign was Mexican-Americans, ages 21 and up.

Creative Strategy:

Cerveza Victoria developed a Mother's Day campaign that combined an AI-driven, branded virtual assistant (Gregbot), Click to Messenger ads, and a personalized video generator. Through fully-automated conversational engagement in English and Spanish, fans of Victoria beer could build personalized virtual mariachi band videos and send it to their moms for Mother's Day. And who better than Gregorio, the brand's favorite serenader-in-training, to deliver it?

Execution

Overall Campaign Execution:

The combination of Click to Messenger ads, an AI-driven branded virtual assistant (Gregbot), and a personalized video generator helped to deliver a highly successful brand engagement campaign. These technologies helped to:

  • Drive deep conversational engagement.
  • Re-engage each user to create multiple personalized videos.
  • Generate significant viral sharing lift from people sending the Messenger experience to friends and family.
