Crafting a digital narrative for a South African Heritage Brand.
Develop an innovative mobile marketing idea that engages and captivates the younger audience (18-27) by leveraging modern marketing strategies, digital technology, and brand storytelling.
Heritage brands have had the hearts of South Africans for generations, but the chance of losing market share has never been this prevalent. In today's digitally connected world, mobile devices have become an indispensable part of our lives, serving various purposes from shopping to banking. And if a brand doesn’t adopt early, they get left behind fast.
A client is seeking a fresh and engaging approach to connect with the younger demographic (18-27) through digital platforms, specifically, on their phones. They have traditionally used the power of brand storytelling to create a meaningful and lasting connection with their audience.
Your task is to conceptualize a digitally-led marketing campaign that seamlessly integrates the brand's essence, digital technology, and brand storytelling.
Be sure to pick a South African heritage brand that resonates with you, and that you can add value to by bringing their story into the mobile age.
