Execution

March 21st marked the day the first ever tweet was sent out. To commemorate the same and to bring to life the love that users have for this platform, the brand invited users to share one of their firsts on Twitter with #MyFirstOnTwitter.

It could be anything like the first tweet, the first follower, the first time they trolled something or someone. Well, it was an open canvas. For users, this was a refreshing change from the existing melee.

Result

True to their nature, the twitterati responded with a bit of nostalgia, a bit of fun, and a bit of good old trolling. The campaign went on to become a huge success with over 48 million impressions in just a day.

Quikr managed to perform well by targeting audience through their favourite moment, rather than making it a brand-centric conversation.
