For this program, influencers were challenged to inspire an open dialogue around infant feeding. Their audience members engaged in varying ways across all social channels, adding to the ongoing conversation around honest experiences in infant feeding, support, and mom empowerment. The highest engagement centered around influencers who told authentic stories about the difficulties and struggles of breastfeeding. We saw some beautiful photography of mothers and fathers with their little ones that were intimate while simultaneously educating audiences about Happy Family’s infant feeding resources.

The French Ministry of Agriculture presented a unique opportunity as they wanted to feature several different wines and foods native to France. The most successful stories combined all the products together in beautiful picnic spreads and fall gatherings with friends and loved ones, driving higher levels of traffic and engagement. In particular, influencers who created cheese boards, party spreads, and packed picnics with all the various products drove 1.4X greater Facebook engagements and 1.6X greater long-tail clicks.
Perricone MD
The Perricone MD “No Makeup, No Problem” program featured beautiful beauty shots and videos. Influencers who shared a shorter, sped-up version of their full-length video on social drove higher levels of engagement relative to the program average. By highlighting their makeup looks and product reviews of the No Makeup Instant Blur in an easily digestible form, influencers were able to draw in more viewers and inspire audiences to take action. Influencers that shared shorter, sped up videos drove 3x the Instagram engagement and 25x engagement on Facebook.
