BRIEF

Following on from a successful first campaign with Protein Works earlier in the year, their team approached us once again in June to collaborate on another production. While the priority was to create a sensory journey, the focus this time was on taste and texture, rather than sound.

The brief for this campaign was to create a series of social clips that would showcase the indulgence and flavour of their products, by creatively highlighting the premium ingredients, taste, and indulgent textures positioning them as second to none.

The key message was that Protein Works products are indulgent, high-quality and incredibly enjoyable to consume and the videos had to have an aspirational, immersive, and luxurious tone.

OBJECTIVES & GOALS

Primary Objective: Create a social media campaign that accentuates the taste and texture of Protein Works products, positioning them as a luxurious and enjoyable choice in the nutrition market.

SPECIFIC GOALS

Increase Brand Appeal: Enhance the brand’s image as healthy and indulgent.

Boost Engagement: Generate higher engagement rates on social media platforms through visually compelling content.

Drive Sales: Encourage product sales and repeat purchases by showcasing the qualities of the products.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (KPIs)

Engagement Metrics: Likes, shares, comments, and video views.

Conversion Rates: Click-through rates to product pages and increase in online sales.

Brand Sentiment: Positive feedback and mentions across social channels.

CHALLENGES FACED

Market Saturation: The health and nutrition market is crowded with brands emphasising functionality over pleasure.

Changing Perceptions: Shifting consumer mindset to see supplements as beneficial, enjoyable, and desirable.

Visual Representation: Effectively capturing taste and texture—sensory experiences—in a visual medium.
