We received tremendous feedback from our markets and my congratulations go to the winner-team of Daikin Bulgaria for their outstanding influencer campaign, as well as to Daikin Belgium on the 2nd place and Daikin France on the 3rd place for their digital achievements”, said Erwin De Roos, Marketing Manager Daikin Europe N.

Innovation, impact, strategy-fit

The three finalists were defined from 16 submissions that came from 12 countries in Europe, Middle East and Africa. An expert jury chose them based upon four main criteria: innovative marketing approach, overall business impact, strong support of Daikin’s B2B2C strategy and outstanding presentation. Next to the jury, all participants of the Marketing & Customer Forum had a vote and decided for the three winners.

The Bulgarian submission proved to be more than just an online campaign: “The cooperation with the popular mom-influencer Antoinette Pepe (145,000 followers on Youtube, 177,000 followers on Instagram and 40,000 followers on Facebook) attracted a lot of attention from young families that aim to provide healthy air environments in their homes. Our unboxing and live experience videos with Antoinette provoked high interest among the target group. Via the Daikin website, they reached the webshops of our partners, and this increased our sales results significantly”, said Michael Haas, Managing Director Daikin Bulgaria.

“What made this campaign different is, that we considered the entire customer journey and offered customers a lively experience. The charming personality of Antoinette of course also contributed to the success of the campaign. In total the videos on Youtube received 545.700 views”, comments Eva Hess, Marketing Coordinator Daikin Bulgaria.

 

The role of digital marketing has important business impact and evolved significantly over the last few years. “I am proud to see so much digital enthusiasm amongst marketeers in our EMEA region. We are looking forward to learning from initiatives – like the one of Daikin Bulgaria – which are supporting our Fusion25 business strategy”, concludes Erwin De Roos.
