Blue Diamond<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Blue Diamond<\/a> Growers, a grower-owned cooperative representing approximately 3,000 of California\u2019s almond growers, is the world\u2019s leading almond marketer and processor. Established in 1910, it created the California almond industry and opened world market s for almonds. Blue Diamond is dedicated to delivering the benefits of almonds around the world and does so by providing high-quality almonds, almond ingredients, and branded products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue Diamond wants to expand its brand exposure in Hong Kong and establish a new brand identity as \u2018the perfect snack for any occasion\u2019. They also want to rejuvenate their brand to have a younger, more refreshing brand identity, to better connect with the younger audience. Facebook is a one of the key channels they can use to achieve these objectives. The company came to us for our expertise in Facebook Marketing and some fresh ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rejuvenate the Blue Diamond brand to have a younger, more refreshing brand identity, to better connect with the younger audience<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our Strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the initial meeting with Blue Diamond to understand the background of this project and requirements, we started by conducting a number of brand, competitor & industry audits to understand Blue Diamond\u2019s brand positioning, demand, and potential in comparison to their competitors on Facebook. These audits also looked into the previous Facebook posts made by Blue Diamond and its competitors, which has worked well, and which hasn’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once we are armed with the insights we need, we hosted a number of creative brainstorm workshops to ideate on how to establish Blue Diamond as \u2018the perfect snack for any occasion\u2019 in front of younger target audiences. Many good ideas came out of these meetings, but the main thinking is that people are more likely to resonate with marketing contents that are related to major public events and everyday life. We decided to explore further on this route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creative visual design is a key success factor. Our creative design team worked with the team at Blue Diamond and created various refreshing imageries featuring Blue Diamond product shoots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July 2021, we started creating various posts on the Blue Diamond Facebook page<\/a> that are related key events such as the UEFA European Football Championship, as well as everyday activities like visiting the beach. Relevant hash tags were also added to these posts to bring out the essence of these posts in a cute way and  to enhance post visibility: #BlueDiamond<\/a> #\u85cd\u947d\u77f3\u674f\u4ec1<\/a> #honeyroasted<\/a> #roastedsalted<\/a> #wasabisoysauce<\/a> #\u7747\u6ce2\u5fc5\u5099<\/a> #\u908a\u7747\u908a\u98df<\/a> #\u6b50\u570b\u76c3<\/a> #\u71df\u990a\u8c50\u5bcc<\/a> #\u9999\u8106\u53ef\u53e3<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online games were also created to capture audiences\u2019 attention and encourage engagements. Winners of these games received free trial packs of Blue Diamond almonds, to further entice them to buy in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of 2021, as we were fast approaching Christmas and Chinese New Year, a new series of posts themed around the festival seasons were created. This time, we want to target families to promote Blue Diamonds\u2019 gift sets, which are usually very popular this time of the year. To make these posts even more interesting, we partnered with a well-known illustrator, YanComic\u5abd\u5abd\u624b\u8a18<\/a>, and bloggers, including \u8d85\u7d1a\u5976\u7238 \u4f55\u57fa\u4f51 Kay Ho<\/a> <\/strong>and <\/strong>\u4f55\u5e2b\u5976 ~\u300a\u5168\u8077”\u716e”\u5a66\u751f\u6d3b\u9038\u4e8b + \u70f9\u98ea\u5206\u4eab\u300b<\/a>. Together, we created a number of posts related to the Christmas and New Year season, which was well received by our audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
