Brief

Mother’s Day being a highly relevant occasion for the brand, the brief to

the channel partner was to create a peppy and happy tune that is relevant on platforms

like TikTok and Instagram, along with lyrics to salute the superhero Moms. The

overall activation had to be designed keeping in mind the prolonged house

arrest that the target audience had been experiencing and to give them a reason

to celebrate a moment of joy.

Creative

Idea

#MamaEarthMummySong was designed and created with a song/tune to salute

the Superhero Moms across the country. “Mamaearth Mother’s Day Anthem” called

out users to download the track and dance to the same with their moms.

Challenges

The core challenge for the team was to create and record the tune during

the lockdown in all major locations and cities. Another challenge was to keep

the activity simple and engaging in itself to drive maximum organic

participation.

Execution

The activity was initiated 2 days before Mother’s Day with the crowdsourced video and a download link for the song. With gradual seeding of the influencer videos dancing with their moms or kids helped get a big push to User Generated Content.

The campaign saw a spike in engagement and interactions when Shilpa Shetty shared a video on social media dancing to the tunes of the song with all her heart along with her son Viaan. The campaign track was also made available for the TikTok audience to dance and share the videos.

Results

- The campaign received close to 900 entries on TikTok and more than 300

entries on Instagram.

- The hashtag #MamaearthMummySong garnered 3M views on TikTok.

- Video views on Instagram were 3M+.

- There was a great response from mothers and kids alike. The song was

received as “energetic”, “fresh” and “cute”. Some kids even listened to it

repeatedly and kept dancing to its tune.

“Mothers are at the center of all our baby care products and Mother’s Day has always been a very special occasion for us.  This year, we wanted to pay fun and refreshing tribute to mothers. While families are spending more time together than ever before, mothers are twice as hard during the lockdown. We decided to come up with a peppy and danceable music campaign that would celebrate moms and appreciate the workload that they are facing”, Ghazal Alagh, Co-founder and Chief Mom, Mamaearth.
