Strategy 1

A lot of their recent content has been tying in with their ongoing campaign #FreeTheJoy, which was launched in January 2014 and aims to bring ordinary people moments of joy. As part of the campaign, they have been sharing funny videos of people dancing and enjoying themselves every Friday to get people in the weekend spirit and to share a moment of joy with their followers.

Strategy 2

 

Regular competitions are held across their social media channels to win Cadbury’s products and tickets to Cadbury World, which is a great way of engaging their followers and encourage users to contribute their own content.

Strategy 3

Cadbury’s have developed a series of their own hashtags that tie in with their running campaigns and frequent content – for example #FreeTheJoy, which was altered to #UnwrapJoy around the Christmas period and #JoyCabs, which took place in February and involved dishing out chocolate prizes to those who took a picture of one of their Cadbury’s Joy Cabs.

Strategy 4

Cadbury run regular competitions through Twitter to win their products, both in the form of interactive games embedded into a tweet like the fruit machine style Vine below and those encouraging users to contribute their own photographs in order to win prizes, such as the #JoyCabs campaign. Both methods have received a lot of engagement from followers and are a great way to build loyalty among fans of the brand, as well as attracting new consumers.
