CASE STUDY: How B’lue tapped the Filipino millennial mindset for its launch

PHILIPPINES - Launching in a highly competitive beverage space, new beverage brand B’lue focused on young people's thirst for experience.

CASE STUDY: How B’lue tapped the Filipino millennial mindset for its launch

Objective

The water plus drink brand, which comes in three different flavours, needed a way to engage with an age segment that was known to be “demanding and notoriously self-entitled.”

Execution

The brand’s agency, Havas Ortega, took a page out of the anthropology handbook and conducted an ethnographic study that covered more than 500 millennials, and more than 700 people within their social spheres.

The research resulted in the insight that millennials responded most strongly to experiences, and led to the creation of the ‘Live to feel' 'movement’. The brand invited millennials to create their own ‘Live to feel’ statements, based on the dimension they felt described them best.

The campaign began with getting influencers to share their own statements online, engaging with their followers and sharing their personal stories.

Parallel to this, a website allowed people to craft their own digital artwork with their own statement to share on their social networks.

The movement culminated in an on-ground launch with the brand in Eastwood city, where participating consumers could have their statements printed out and mounted in the Eastwood city grounds.
