THE NEW RULES OF BRAND ENGAGEMENT

The COVID-19 pandemic forced brands to dramatically alter their creative messaging overnight. Brand messaging quickly shifted from product to purpose, from promotion to partnership, all while infusing empathy and relevance. Also, the channels through which marketers reached consumers changed. Brands were forced to relate to consumers on a more personal level than ever before. This moment in time marks a shift in consumer relationships with brands. So, what lessons will brands take into the future of how and where to connect with consumers? We’ll break down what this change represents and the new rules of engagement for brands going forward

HOW BLACK FOREST GUMMY BEARS PARTNERED WITH SOCIAL INFLUENCERS FOR SOCIAL GOOD

In light of the catastrophic wildfires across the country, the Black Forest team worked with The National Forest Foundation on a new social campaign timed with #NationalLoveATreeDay. For every tree emoji that was “planted” in the post's comments, they committed to planting a tree in areas affected by wildfires. The team took a creative and unique approach to amplify the campaign, engaging social media influencers and tracking the forest growth progress in real time on social, all which helped the brand plant 100K trees.
