THE CLIENT
CapitaLand, which operates Singapore’s largest mall network, had launched eCapitaMall. The e-commerce platform features merchandise from over 3,000 retailers across 18 CapitaLand Malls. Separately, it debuted online food ordering and delivery service Capita3Eats to showcase food choices from the malls’ F&B outlets.
THE CHALLENGE
Both eCapitaMall and Capita3Eats are part of CapitaLand’s ongoing efforts to support its retailers in reaching out to a wider audience online and boosting their sales. To achieve this, CapitaLand has identified the millennials and the Gen Zs – both relatively tech-savvy groups – as core target audiences.
However, establishing a strong awareness of these platforms and increasing online sales could prove tricky as the e-commerce and food delivery markets are saturated with a few key players backed by a long-standing presence.
WHAT WE DID
The #HelloIAm Contest was born. Devised as a talent competition, it comprised a series of mini-episodes that challenged the contestants to find original and creative ways to promote merchandise and food choices from the catalogues of eCapitaMall and Capita3Eats.
The contest culminated in a 3-hour grand final that we shot with StarStudios Mobile and livestreamed to CapitaLand’s social media pages. The eventual winner was offered the role of Social Media Ambassador with CapitaLand.
THE OUTCOME
Modelling the #HelloIAm Contest after a talent competition meant we were able to keep the audiences rooting for their favourite contestants. As a result, the mini-episodes and the livestream of the grand final enjoyed soaring viewership, leading to increased awareness of both eCapitaMall and Capita3Eats. The contestants, especially the winner, were also able to influence the audiences’ purchase decisions.
