HOW IT WORKED

Using Telescope’s social content moderation platform, entries were pulled in from across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Entries were driven by on-air promotion and a range of both organic and promoted posts across each platform. Telescope was able to advise of best practice  on entry parameters to increase engagement whilst still adhering to PepsiCo’s entry requirements.

The #ChooseOrLose campaign utilized Telescope’s Hashtag Vote for Facebook and Twitter, and let fans decide via hashtag which crisp flavors would stay and which would be replaced.

As part of Walkers ‘Win Live’ campaign with ITV, the brand worked with Telescope to create an engaging Facebook live stream to bring further awareness to the competition and activate their fans online. Viewers had the chance to win a year’s worth of groceries live by commenting #WinLive during the stream.

For #BestEverFan, Walkers and The Spice Girls set out to find just that...their Best Ever Fan! Using the branded hashtag and tagging Walker's twitter account, the fans were encouraged to send content of singing, dancing, whatever it takes to prove they are truly the number one fan and deserved an exclusive VIP experience.

And most recently, Walkers powered a competition via CONNECT Social Moderation to collate entries across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram using #SnackStash.  The campaign premise was that everyone has their secret snack hiding place. Participants were encouraged to share theirs for a chance to win.
