Problem Statement/Objective
As a brand, HQ has always chosen a path of showcasing how its products help users to unleash their thinking, expression, and creativity. Through this campaign, it was an opportunity to make the audience aware of the product offerings of the brand with their own philosophy of Carve Your Niche.
Brief
The brand’s core offering is books to make notes for office or personal use. The brief was to help its users feel inspired. It could be by the way users can express themselves by writing in their HQ book or even through the perceived value of the book while they are carrying it, or gifting to someone.
Creative Idea
To inspire people, #CarveYourNiche came into being in an attempt to capture the required vibe of the target audience. To do this, the brand collaborated with Terribly Tiny Tails (TTT). TTT's storytelling platform was a perfect place and way to bring out real-life stories of each one of those who are aiming to make a difference in their lives or careers.
Challenges
- HQ from Navneet Education Limited also makes for a perfect gift. The challenge was to marry the personal use v/s the gifting angle - the two purposes while catering to two different mindsets.
- Another challenge was to not get preachy in communication but voice the real-life emotions and more of the TG.
Execution
To bring the HQ by Navneet Education Limited awareness campaign to life, the brand collaborated with Terribly Tiny Tales in November when it began and the campaign concluded in the last week of January. It was executed across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Linkedin. The brand chose these platforms to reach the right set of audiences and create a buzz.
The campaign idea revolved around the importance of penning down your thoughts on a piece of paper. This could range from expressing your suppressed thoughts to happy memories. Thus, the campaign urged its users to utilize journals as their companions for sharing thoughts in times of need and whenever necessary.
As the brand shared a slew of social media posts around the idea of writing down your thoughts on journals, it also attempted to drive home its objective of establishing journals as a perfect gifting product to share the feelings on the papers.
The social media posts in the quintessential TTT design and tonality aimed to bring out out real-life instances, keeping the relatability of situations, intact.
A combination of text and animated posts ended with CTAs to shop the premium journals, redirecting the viewers to the brand's website.
