Viral Nation Major Campaigns
As a full-service agency, Viral Nation has created diverse campaigns for brands with different niches worldwide. Its major projects include working with Ubisoft, Victoria’s Secret, and Sears.
Ubisoft
The video game company launched a new season of Rainbow Six: Siege and aimed to generate hype and awareness among gaming and lifestyle audiences. It also wanted to prank four influencers in an onsite production. To achieve these goals, Viral Nation onboarded five gaming-lifestyle influencers to test out the new AI feature of Rainbow Six.
As for the prank plan, only one influencer was notified of the true strategy while the other four influencers weren’t aware of the plan; thus, highlighting true camaraderie. Each influencer created a YouTube video based on their perspective, gaining a total of 7.2 million view minutes, 2.5 million video views, and 3 million interactions.
Victoria’s Secret
This famous clothing company sought to create consistent content and generate positive awareness towards its VS PINK brand via website, social media, and in-store signage. To attain these objectives, Viral Nation selected 175 monthly brand ambassadors in a span of six months.
These brand ambassadors showcased their body fitness and diversity and uploaded creative content on their social media accounts. They also created a collection of “everyday girl” content and used the #PINKGRLPWR hashtag. As a result, Victoria’s Secret received a total of 2.8 million engagements and 27,000 link clicks.
Sears
With the primary goal to rebrand and drive awareness of its Great American Tent Sale, Sears approached Viral Nation. The agency then tapped four home decor influencers with a high following among US audiences. These influencers promoted the Tent Sale via Instagram stories, encouraging audiences to click the swipe-up links and shop on Sears’ official website.
The campaign was deemed successful, receiving a total reach of 8.8 million, 1.9 million audience interactions, and 10,900 clicks.
