Span
One year in four chapters: creator stories, always-on content, Style N’ Sips and 12 Days of Christmas.

01 · The problem

Chivita is a familiar name in Nigerian homes, and familiar is not the same as talked about. The brand needed more engagement and visibility on social, and it needed to hold that attention for a year, not a launch week.

02 · The human truth

Everyone has a Chivita story.

A drink after a long day, a carton on the family table, a memory with friends. The brand did not need to tell people what it meant to them. It needed to ask.

03 · The idea

Ask one question, then let everyone answer it.

What’s your Chivita? Creators would answer first, in their own voice, and hand the question to their followers. The brand would keep the conversation going all year: in the feed, in a series people came back for, and live at Christmas.

04 · The work

  1. Creator stories. Nine creators built Chivita into a real moment of their own day, then ended each video with the question for their followers: #WhatsYourChivita.
  2. Always on. The hashtag became a stream. Twelve creators returned with content on the campaign’s themes, people shared their own moments, and the brand answered in the feed. Six short promoted films carried the line to a wider audience: good times with friends, mums, the daily hustle, picking yourself back up, and love.
  3. Style N’ Sips. A YouTube series of style, humour and real talk, hosted by Elozonam, Akin Faminu and Jay On Air: eleven episodes, from Boys Will Be Boys to Movie Nights, each shared on Instagram and Facebook too.
  4. The season. 12 Days of Christmas: an Instagram Live Grotto Fiesta hosted by Jay On Air, with guest creators, games and giveaways, product packs for early viewers, hampers to win and a Christmas challenge for everyone watching.
