Campaign Activation: Accelerate and Explode

Ready to cement your brand positioning as the market authority? See how this historic brand fast-tracked advocacy and utmost relevance with the next generation of consumers via our Accelerate and Explode Influencer Marketing representation. They are powering their brand forward in amazing ways.

The problem:

Russell Hobbs, an established appliance brand has been providing product for households for over 75 years. However, even though the brand excelled in delivering an expansive range of marketing and advertising initiatives, it lacked the extensive connections and dedicated time to foster relationships with micro-influencers – at scale and consistently. With the role of micro-influencers crucial in building awareness and fuelling brand advocacy, Russell Hobbs needed to invest in smart ways to foster grassroots recommendations en masse and keep the brand at the centre of conversations.

Action Plan

Russell Hobbs chose Mumpower to:

  • Focus on amplifying mum-to-mum brand advocacy across key ranging and seasons
  • Selecting, validating and managing partnerships with best fit, genuinely aligned micro-influencers.
  • So Influencers can boost the quality and quantity of compelling and informative, user generated content and all content will be leveraged for multiple uses to boost ROI.
  • Along the journey, influencers who demonstrate heightened connectedness with brand will be nurtured by Mumpower as long term advocates.

Results

Within the first 2 months, Russell Hobbs benefited with 16 quality partnerships with micro influencers who delivered: 96 individual piece of engaging content including: Posted UGC, website reviews and exclusively imagery to educate and inspire potential customers.

In total, Russell Hobbs brand advocacy has grown via:

  • 16 Powerful partnerships with Mums who talk to hundreds of thousands
  • 12 months worth of user generated content ready for brand repurposing
  • Social proof of mum to mum endorsements
  • Dozens of testimonials and product reviews

“Absolutely thrilled. It went fantastically and it definitely had a positive impact”
