Campaign background
Moravia Lacto dairy launched a new product 6 months ago – Herold, a hard cheese produced on the basis of an original recipe. The cheese was placed on the market in the form of a loaf, sliced at the counter or already in prepared packages weighing 160 g. Store listing of the product was slow and not in a large-scale.
Campaign objective
To introduce to consumers a branded product of high quality, which would establish itself on the market within the range of Czech cheeses, and to make consumers buy and try it. The campaign included also the support of interest of retailers and chains. Herold is an exceptional hard cheese of high quality, matured for at least 6 months in the maturing basement. The ambition is to compete with Czech as well as foreign superior cheeses at a reasonable price.
Campaign execution
On the basis of minimum budget and defined target group, an interactive campaign was suggested for online environment and social networks, supported by PR..
The main communication tool consisted of presentation videos in 12 versions. Their purpose was to grip an attention by emotional attributes, present the customer experience, create a sense of belonging with the video actors, but also to entertain.
The generated traffic of customer interest was directed to a competition website (hledaseherold.cz), where the competition was presented. The condition for participation in the competition was rather challenging – the customer had to buy two packages of the product. Interest in the competition exceeded expectations.
The main communication channel were social networks, supplemented by selected online media in a mix focusing on men as well as women, and to housewives in general. The communication was supported by PR, well elaborated both in online and print media.

Elements of the campaign – a small sample:
Banners
Several different mutations of banners were used for communication within online portals. Some of them are below, half of them consisted of banners with an inserted video.
Videos
Videos were designed to introduce a brand new opportunity to consumers, and to draw attention to an unknown product that must be sought after on the shelves (limited facing). Emotional attributes of the product were included. The main actors were to embody the role, “each of us is one of you”. They represented a cross-section of the target group of consumers. Reactions were diverse - some watchers recognized themselves, some disliked something, others were pleased by the presented characters. For this reason, emphasis was placed on the selection of individual actors. The videos were complemented by a competition tag.
