Objectives.

Launch the brand and the new and improved product in Couche-Tard stores across Quebec.


Challenges

  1. Strict regulation of the terms allowed by Health Canada to describe the ingredients and benefits of the product.
  2. New product category requiring consumer education and differentiation from energy drinks.
  3. The taste of RECAP's 1.0 recipe was not very popular with consumers. They were reluctant to try the new and improved version in cans.

Our Strategies.

1.
Microgeolocation advertising campaigns around Couche-Tard locations.
2.
Adaptation of the promotional video used in the pre-roll campaign on Noovo (Occupation Double) in our advertising strategy on Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat.
3.
Deployed engagement campaigns on social media to grow organic posts' reach.

How did we reach the goal?

Digital Out-of-Home Advertising Campaign

Digital out-of-home campaign deployed in universities, CEGEPs, restaurants, bars, billboards and bus shelters across Quebec to increase the brand awareness in a selection of locations regularly visited by RECAP's target audience; students and young professionals with an active lifestyle.

We adapted the message according to the location, the day of the week and the time of day. During weekdays on college campuses, the ad "Big night out last night? You should've had your RECAP" aired from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. on Fridays to appeal to students the day after their happy hour. The ad "Big night ahead? Don't forget your RECAP" aired from 1pm to 8pm on Thursdays and Fridays to remind partygoers preparing for their night out to buy a RECAP along the way.

Results:

  • Placements on over 200 screens
  • 1.2M people reached in one month
