At the end of 2014, the Faber Castell Singapore Facebook page was hovering at approximately 100 followers after a recent revamp. CDS and AMP Digital, a boutique digital marketing agency, collaborated to aid Faber Castell Singapore in their online social media push to grow their numbers and increase the engagement on the page.
Given that the new year, 2015, is coming up, it was decided that the campaign will be built around the annual activity of setting resolutions. A hashtag #FCResolution2015 was introduced and it will be the hashtag to encourage Singaporean Facebook users to post their New Year Resolutions.
While some common resolutions was demonstrated through various Faber Castell art materials, Facebook followers of Faber Castell are encouraged to share their resolutions and to identify with Faber Castell. The best three resolutions will be selected from the timeline posts and illustrated by the CDS artists.
At the same time, on the side, smaller side contests will be held to encourage followers to learn more about Faber Castell products and engage with the brand.
Through out the period of one month and with careful use of targeted ads, the campaign was able to achieve its objective of growing the number of Facebook page followers by 600%. By the end of the campaign, the number of followers had grown to over 700. There was also very active engagement between the Facebook users and the brand. The total number of engagements during the campaign stood at over 2000.
At the end of the campaign, three of the most interesting resolutions were selected and the CDS artists are delegated to draw the resolutions out onto a board for the winners. These are the selected resolutions along with the resulting artworks.
