Candyman is a well-known Dutch candy brand. During the COVID-19 outbreak, they faced the problem of their clients not visiting supermarkets as much, especially just to buy candy. How do you stay in touch with fans of your brand during a situation like this? How do you stimulate sales using a relevant and engaging approach, given the current situation?
Using TikToks viral potential, the #CandymanChallenge was born. We involved various Dutch influencers, including our own social talents Melanie Latooy and Enzo Frieser, to kick-start the campaign. The challenge? Creating a TikTok video in which you show how you creatively hand over candy maintaining the 1,5 meters distance. By participating in the challenge, users got the chance of winning 1,5 years’ worth of free candy and a SUITSUIT suitcase!
