Business Objective
Superdry launched their presence in India with a set of street drive events .They wanted to extend this idea online to connect with the younger demographics on Twitter. They partnered with digital agency Brandmovers India and conceptualized a unique Twitter campaign called ‘Superdry Tweet Fuel’. The campaign virtually simulates the brand’s entry into India through a microsite where the drive is fuelled by user tweets
Approach and Execution
‘Superdry Tweet Fuel’ Twitter campaign challenged the users to express their views in the form of tweets and help getting the iconic Superdry Morgan 3 Wheeler roadster to India by converting their tweets to fuel for the car. The campaign was executed using a dedicated microsite that depicts the exciting journey of the Morgan 3 Wheeler Roadster from London to Mumbai. The contest was easy and simple, the users had to follow the Superdry India’s Twitter account and had to tweet about where they would go for a #SuperDrive if they had a Morgan 3 Wheeler, and their tweets will get converted into fuel for the car.
Powered by the tweets which converted to fuel for the Morgan 3 Wheeler Roadster, the car travelled from London Superdry stores to Dover crossing through the English Channel to France, Germany, Belgium, Dubai and finally India. Exciting prizes were to be won in the campaign like Superdry apparel, an opportunity to drive the Morgan 3 Wheeler and many others.
The different level of tweets unlocked exciting set of prizes. The best tweets for each level were featured on the microsite under the contributors section and also qualified to win prizes.
