Human nature as we decipher is in constant crave of companionship and those who acknowledge and accept our raw, unfiltered version gleefully become dear to us. Claimed to be above most relationships, every year on the first Sunday of August the world celebrates it, dedicating it as Friendship's Day
Boundless to age, this day triggers a lot of appreciation, sentiments and of course social media posts. Cadbury the chocolate brand leveraged upon this occasion to bind friends through Twitter creating a viral chain.
Spread madness, share selfies
As they say, our companions reflect a lot about ourselves and together we manage to trigger laughter and madness, somewhere leveraging upon this thought, brand Cadbury, to make merry out of this occasion, kickstarted a Twitter chain.
This Twitter chain started with a mad selfie or as the brand likes to call it #Madfie. A relationship oozing of various emotions, madness is one that stands out the most and with the rigid trend of selfies, the brand collaborated these two ideas to suit the occasion.
Creating a crowd funded campaign, the brand asked their fans on Twitter to share their #Madfie to build a humour, fun-filled campaign for Friendship's Day. The trend caught up instantly with people sharing their magically or rather mad moments with their friends creating a massive Twitter chain.
The data for the campaign was collated through Reachowt.
