Challenge

A Brown Company, Inc. (A Brown), a prominent real estate firm with a strong presence in Mindanao, boasts an impressive portfolio of luxurious properties. Each one offers breathtaking views and unparalleled comfort—the kind that you just can’t find anywhere else. 

Still, in spite of the allure and value of their properties, A Brown faced a significant challenge. There was a lack of awareness among potential buyers and investors in Manila, the country’s economic and business hub. This limited visibility outside of Mindanao posed a critical barrier to tapping into a broader market and realizing the full potential of their real estate offerings.

So, the challenge for A Brown was twofold: firstly, to elevate the company’s brand visibility and reputation beyond Mindanao, and secondly, to showcase the unique appeal of their properties to a wider audience in Manila. Overall, to raise awareness; a task that its PR partner, M2.0 Communications, was well-equipped for. 


Approach

M2.0 Communications executed a targeted communications strategy to elevate A Brown’s brand and property awareness in Manila, focusing on three pivotal actions.

Firstly, this included refining their key messaging. M2.0 emphasized the vibrant, welcoming communities within the properties, underlining the message that living on an A Brown property means living somewhere happier.

Secondly, M2.0 improved the quality and engagement of social media content. This ensured that A Brown’s social cards and posts were visually captivating and informative, effectively highlighting the luxury and beauty of their properties.

Lastly, M2.0 also launched targeted paid media campaigns to extend A Brow’s reach in Manila, ensuring the newly crafted messages and engaging content were seen by a broader, interested audience.

This approach aimed to not just raise awareness but also to position A Brown as a premier choice for luxury living in Mindanao, appealing directly to potential buyers in Manila through emotional connection, visual allure, and strategic online presence.


Results

With M2.0’s social media service, A Brown Company grew its follower count from 10,000 to over 51,000 in a year.

The growth in followers not only indicates a substantial rise in A Brown’s brand awareness among potential buyers in Manila and beyond, but also reflects the successful engagement and appeal of the content and messaging that M2.0 refined and shared. Thanks to the efforts in updating their key messaging, producing engaging visual content, using paid media, A Brown has successfully solidified its presence as a luxury real estate company.

Challenge

MSD recognized the need to enhance their online engagement and visibility, particularly on Facebook and Instagram, where their target audience was most active. The objective was clear: to use social media not just as a tool for broadcasting messages, but as a strategic channel for meaningful engagement, education, and advocacy, especially regarding their initiatives on human papillomavirus (HPV) awareness and vaccination.

This challenge highlighted the importance of adapting to the evolving digital landscape, where social media’s role in healthcare communication and public health advocacy has become increasingly critical. 

MSD aimed to elevate their social media strategy to effectively reach and resonate with a wider audience. They wanted to ensure their messages about HPV awareness and the importance of vaccination were not only seen, but also acted upon.


Approach

In addressing MSD’s challenge, M2.0 Communications crafted a comprehensive strategy that broadened the focus of HPV awareness campaigns to include not just women, as had been previously emphasized, but all demographics at risk. This included men and members of the LGBT+ community. 

To get the message across, one thing M2.0 focused on was creating videos that would resonate with the audience and allow them to grasp the seriousness of HPV. 

Through compelling narratives and relatable content, the videos aimed to dismantle misconceptions and inform viewers about the importance of vaccination for everyone.

Along with this, M2 also reached out to partner with podcasts like the Jim and Saab podcast. This partnership used the hosts’ influence to spread the word about HPV’s preventable nature.

This approach marked a significant shift in HPV awareness efforts, moving towards a more inclusive and comprehensive public health campaign. 

By utilizing dynamic videos and influential media partnerships, M2.0 was able to enhance MSD’s social media presence and ensure that the critical message about HPV prevention reached a wide and diverse audience.


Results

The campaign significantly amplified MSD’s social media presence and HPV awareness efforts.

For instance, the Facebook page garnered 56,676 likes with an extensive reach of 112,021,209, illustrating the campaign’s wide impact. Meanwhile, MSD’s Instagram achieved a reach of 1,963,908, demonstrating the effects of engaging with a diverse audience.

Audience engagement soared by 8,702,485 from the previous year, highlighting the campaign’s success in educating its audience about HPV prevention and the importance of vaccination.

These outcomes reflect the effectiveness of the inclusive and strategic approach in enhancing HPV awareness and encouraging vaccination across all demographics. More importantly, it taught Filipinos to take HPV seriously–leading to a healthier future for themselves and their families.

Challenge

CEMEX recognized the untapped potential of their LinkedIn presence as a platform for B2B engagement. After all, professional connections, industry leadership, and corporate responsibility are key to securing and nurturing partnerships–that’s why they sought to elevate their LinkedIn profile beyond its current state. Their primary concern was that their LinkedIn profile was not adequately reflecting their position as industry leaders, nor was it using the full extent of LinkedIn’s capabilities to connect with potential clients and partners.

That’s why they approached M2.0 Communications for help with their social media services. CEMEX aimed to redefine their LinkedIn profile to showcase their industry knowledge, innovation, and leadership, while also emphasizing their commitment to environmental sustainability. 

The challenge was twofold: to transform their LinkedIn profile into a platform for thought leadership within the industry, as well as to highlight their dedication to sustainability. This required a strategic overhaul of their content strategy and online engagement approach. M2.0 was up to the task. 


Approach

In order to build a community, you have to give your audience a reason to stay. 

With this in mind, M2.0 Communications developed a strategic 6-month social media campaign to elevate CEMEX’s LinkedIn profile. The campaign focused on thought leadership and sustainability in the cement industry. 

The campaign’s core aim was to organically expand CEMEX’s LinkedIn community. With this in mind, M2.0 focused on developing the key messaging that the LinkedIn posts would center around. This included the following: building connection, building innovation, and building value. 

M2.0 created social cards that would get the message across: that CEMEX is here, and building itself up with sustainability at its forefront. 


Results

The approach that M2.0 devised for CEMEX on LinkedIn led to a remarkable achievement: a fourfold increase in community size within just six months. This growth underscores the effectiveness of the campaign’s strategy, combining engaging content and a focus on sustainability and thought leadership. 

The quadrupling of CEMEX’s community size on LinkedIn as a direct result of the campaign illustrates the power of combining visual storytelling with authentic messaging to resonate with the target audience.

It stands as a clear indicator of the campaign’s success in reinforcing CEMEX’s position as an industry leader committed to sustainability.

Explore the unique benefits of nanoinfluencers, microinfluencers, and macroinfluencers in driving brand authenticity, engagement, and reach. Read on to uncover the best fit for your marketing goals in this guide to influencer tiers.

In case you haven’t heard, there’s more than just plain influencers now. A new classification system has emerged, segmenting influencers into nanoinfluencers, microinfluencers, and macroinfluencers based on their follower counts and the scope of their influence

You might ask yourself – what’s the point? Well, this distinction is crucial for brands and marketers to understand, as it determines a few things: the nature of the collaboration, the potential reach, and the level of engagement they can expect. 

Basically, each type of influencer brings their own unique advantages and challenges to the table, making it essential to delve into what sets them apart. Let’s get into it. 

What are the types of influencers?

Understanding the different types of influencers is key to navigating this complex landscape. Let’s break down three primary categories: nanoinfluencers, microinfluencers, and macroinfluencers.

1. Nanoinfluencers

The grassroots of influencer marketing, nanoinfluencers typically have a follower count ranging from 1,000 to 10,000. They’re everyday people who’ve gained a following through their niche interests, authenticity, and close-knit community feel. 

Because of this, nanoinfluencers tend to have higher engagement rates through their personal connections with their audience. Their recommendations are viewed more like advice from a friend rather than a celebrity endorsement, giving them a unique kind of influencer power.

If you’re looking to genuinely connect with your audience or branch out in a highly targeted niche, then nanoinfluencers are for you. 

2. Microinfluencers

Stepping up the ladder, microinfluencers boast a follower base in the tens of thousands. They strike a balance between having a sizable audience and maintaining personal engagement. 

Microinfluencers are often regarded as experts in their specific niches. Whether it’s tech, gaming, or lifestyle, they’re sought after for their ability to influence consumer behavior within these focused areas. 

They offer brands a blend of relatability and reach, making them highly valuable for targeted campaigns. If you’re looking for an approach that’s the perfect blend between engagement and reach, then microinfluencers are for you. 

Types of Influencers Example | April Antonette

One example of a microinfluencer is April Antonette. Her niche is related to dance, music, and fitness, making her a perfect candidate for brands looking to reach people in that audience. 

3. Macroinfluencers

When you think of “influencers,” they may be the first to come to mind. These influencers have followers in the hundreds of thousands to millions. 

In some cases, they can even be celebrities or well-known personalities who have a wide-reaching influence. While they offer vast exposure, their engagement rates are generally lower, and their endorsements can be less personal than those of nanoinfluencers or microinfluencers. 

Still, their large followings can be a great way to get a message out to many people at the same time. If your aim is to spread awareness, launch a big campaign, or even enter a new market – then macroinfluencers are a great pick. They should be your go-to for whenever visibility is crucial.  

Types of Influencers Example | Niana Guerrero

For instance, take Niana Guerrero. She’s one of the biggest influencers in the Philippines right now, and brands reach out to her to get to a wider audience.

Understanding these categories helps in appreciating the unique value nanoinfluencers, microinfluencers, and macroinfluencers bring to the table. 

The former two offer a more intimate and authentic form of influence, which is becoming increasingly important in a market that values genuine connections.

Meanwhile, macroinfluencers are staying strong as the faces of influencer marketing – the type of people you can rely on to connect you to big audiences. 

Whatever you might need, there’s an influencer out there. So get out, connect, and find the one that’s right for you. 

To find the Key Opinion Leader (KOL) that perfectly aligns with your brand’s values and goals, it’s crucial to partner with a reputable influencer management agency. M2.0 Communications has built an extensive network of social media contacts to support our partners with their influencer marketing strategies.

Whether you’re looking to enhance brand trust or simplify your message, low-fidelity videos are an underrated but effective tool for fintech marketers to engage with their audience. Read on to learn how to make the most out of your marketing strategy for your fintech brand by incorporating lo-fi videos into your marketing arsenal.

Video content has always been a cornerstone of effective communication strategies. Content is king after all, and dynamic content is the best type there is. Among the many different styles and formats of video, Low-Fidelity (LoFi) ones have carved a unique niche, especially in the fintech sector. 

LoFi videos are, in short, low-complexity videos that are good for on-the-go, bite-sized pieces of information. 

These videos stand out for their authentic storytelling and approachability, offering a refreshing alternative to high-budget productions. In an industry where complexity often overshadows clarity, LoFi videos cut through the noise, offering a simplified yet impactful way to convey intricate financial concepts. 

From understanding the appeal of LoFi videos to integrating them effectively into marketing strategies, we will guide you through harnessing the power of authentic storytelling in a sector that continuously innovates and improves its products and processes.

1. Understand the Appeal of LoFi Videos in FinTech

LoFi videos have gained traction in the fintech sector thanks to their authentic and straightforward approach to production and storytelling. In an industry where complex concepts can be overwhelming, these videos excel in demystifying financial products and services. Their simplicity turns daunting topics into accessible narratives, making them highly appealing to a broader audience.

LoFi videos provide practical advantages in addition to being relatable. They are cost-effective and quick to produce, which suits the fast-paced fintech industry and enables agile marketing strategies. This minimalist approach not only saves time and resources but also resonates with digital audiences who appreciate relatability and authenticity.

Video from Shuttlerock Limited

Overall, LoFi videos can help enhance trust and build a bridge between companies and their audiences, thanks to how relatable they are. They’re more than a trend–they’re a strategic choice for making complex ideas approachable, and building lasting customer relationships.  

2. Identify Your Target Audience

Success with LoFi videos in FinTech starts with a deep understanding of your target audience. Knowing their preferences, challenges, and behaviors will help you craft videos that resonate with the people watching them.

Your strategy should revolve around creating content that meets your audience’s expectations and aligns with their values. Whether it’s simplifying complex concepts or showcasing real-world impacts, the content must address the interests of your viewers. 

In short, the authenticity of LoFi videos can help your brand connect with its audience, but only if the content speaks directly to their needs.

By focusing on what matters to your target audience, LoFi videos become a powerful tool in your fintech marketing arsenal, ensuring your message not only reaches but also impacts your intended viewers.

3. Choose the Right Type of LoFi Video

Selecting the appropriate LoFi video style is pivotal in fintech marketing, where the goal is often to communicate complex ideas simply yet effectively. Your choice should depend on your marketing objectives and the preferences of your target audience.

  • Brand Videos: Ideal for showcasing your fintech brand’s ethos, culture, and value, brand videos help build brand awareness and trust and should authentically represent your fintech company.
  • Explainer Videos: Perfect for demystifying financial products or services, explainer videos use straightforward language and relatable examples to break down complex topics, making them accessible to a non-specialist audience.
  • Demo Videos: Demonstrate the functionality and benefits of your financial technology. Highlight how your product solves specific problems or improves financial tasks, catering to those closer to a purchase decision.

With the differences between them, each video type may serve a distinct purpose in your fintech marketing strategy. Explainer and demo videos are particularly effective in LoFi formats, focusing on content and clarity rather than high-end production values.

Whatever the case, so long as you can match your audience’s needs to the right video type, you can create content that engages, educates, and converts. 

4. Optimize Lo-Fi Videos for Various Platforms

Each social media platform has its unique audience demographics, content preferences, and technical requirements. Here’s how to optimize your LoFi videos across a few major platforms:

  • Facebook and Instagram: These platforms favor engaging, narrative content. Short LoFi videos that tell a story about your financial service can drive high engagement. Use aspect ratios 1:1 for Facebook feed videos and 9:16 for Instagram Stories to ensure optimal viewing.
  • YouTube: Ideal for longer explainer or demo LoFi videos. Utilize the 16:9 aspect ratio for traditional videos. YouTube’s algorithm prioritizes content that keeps viewers on the platform longer, so aim for videos that are on the informative side.
  • TikTok: This platform thrives on creativity and authenticity, making it perfect for LoFi videos. Short, catchy videos that showcase the human side of your fintech brand can go a long way. Stick to a 9:16 aspect ratio to capture the audience’s attention.

Infographic of common aspect ratios

Remember, the key here isn’t just about adjusting technical specs; it’s about aligning your video’s message and style with the preferences of the platform’s user base. For instance, YouTube users might appreciate more in-depth discussions on financial trends, whereas TikTok users may engage more with quick, fun insights into your fintech solutions.

By adapting your LoFi videos for each platform, you can maximize their reach, engagement, and impact, ensuring your fintech message resonates across the digital spectrum.

5. Utilize Key Production Techniques for LoFi Videos

Crafting effective LoFi videos for fintech marketing involves more than just simplifying the production process. It’s about leveraging specific techniques to ensure your message is clear, engaging, and tailored to your audience. Here are tips to enhance the impact of your LoFi video content:

  • Focus on Clear Audio: Despite the visual nature of the video, clear audio is crucial. Ensure your message is understandable and without background noise. Sometimes, a simple, well-placed microphone can make all the difference.
  • Stabilize Your Footage: Shaky videos can detract from the professionalism of your content. Use a tripod or stabilize your footage in post-production to maintain a polished look, even in a LoFi setting.
  • Engaging Storytelling: The heart of a successful LoFi video is its ability to tell a story while still explaining complex concepts in simple terms. This could involve real-life examples, customer testimonials, or a walkthrough of how your service can solve common problems.
  • Simplify Your Visuals: LoFi doesn’t mean low effort. Use simple graphics, clear text overlays, and concise visuals to highlight key points without overwhelming your audience. This approach keeps the focus on your message, making it more accessible.
  • Optimize for Mobile Viewing: With the majority of social media content consumed on mobile devices, ensure your LoFi videos are optimized for smaller screens. This means large, readable text and mobile-friendly aspect ratios.

Key Takeaways

Before we wrap up, here’s a simple breakdown of how to integrate LoFi into your FinTech Marketing Strategy:

  • Understand the Appeal of LoFi Videos in FinTech
    • LoFi videos offer a simple and cost-effective way to explain complex financial concepts. This builds lasting trust between companies and audiences.
  • Identify Your Target Audience
    • Understand your target audience. Craft content that aligns with their preferences and values to connect authentically and effectively.
  • Choose the Right Type of LoFi Video
    • Selecting the right LoFi video style (brand, explainer, or demo videos) will effectively communicate complex ideas to the target audience.
  • Optimize Lo-Fi Videos for Various Platforms
    • Tailor your content to each platform’s unique audience and technical specifications to aim for maximum engagement.
  • Utilize Key Production Techniques for LoFi Videos
    • Prioritize clear audio, stable footage, engaging storytelling, simplified visuals, and mobile optimization to have your message resonate with your audience.

By applying these production techniques, your LoFi videos can effectively communicate complex fintech concepts in an accessible and engaging manner. The goal is to create content that resonates with your audience, reinforcing your brand’s message without the need for high-end production values.

Looking into how influencers are reshaping brand engagement in specific niches can put you ahead of the trend. Read on to find out why and how these influencers are effective at driving authentic engagement with your audience.

A subtle yet significant shift is taking place. More and more types of influencers are popping up and making an impact in certain niches, namely, nanoinfluencers and microinfluencers. While they may not grace billboards or feature in blockbuster ads, their ability to carve more solid connections with audiences is reshaping the marketing landscape.

While nanoinfluencers and microinfluencers have some overlap in terms of who they are and what they bring to the table, understanding the difference between them is key. For instance, one of their key differences is that nanoinfluencers have a range of 1,000 to 10,000 followers, while microinfluencers have a follower base in the tens of thousands. 

These influencers aren’t just promoting products; they’re creating authentic connections with their audiences through genuine, grounded content. Today, we’ll delve into the importance of tapping into these influencers, and showing you just how effective they can be. 

After all, they aren’t just a trend. They’re proof of how quickly consumer influence and brand interaction have been evolving these days—a lesson you’ll want to learn and keep note of if you want to keep up with the trend. 

Advantages of Working with Microinfluencers and Nanoinfluencers 

1. Authenticity

One of the primary reasons nanoinfluencers and microinfluencers are becoming increasingly relevant in the marketing world is their authenticity. This authenticity is linked to their smaller, more manageable followings. 

Unlike their macro counterparts, these influencers often cultivate a personal relationship with their audience. Their content feels less like a broadcast and more like a conversation among friends.

This sense of authenticity is further amplified by the fact that nanoinfluencers and microinfluencers typically choose to promote products or services that they genuinely use or believe in. Their recommendations come across as sincere and trustworthy, mirroring the advice one might receive from a close friend rather than a distant celebrity. 

For brands, this translates into endorsements that resonate more deeply with audiences, fostering a sense of trust and loyalty that larger influencers might struggle to achieve. In an era where consumers are increasingly wary of overt advertising, the genuine approach of nanoinfluencers and microinfluencers offers a refreshing alternative.

2. More personal connections

The ability to forge more personal connections is another thing that nanoinfluencers and microinfluencers have over macroinfluencers. With a smaller audience, these influencers can often engage more directly and meaningfully with their followers. It’s about creating a community with a genuine sense of belonging among their audience.

Nanoinfluencers and microinfluencers tend to know their audience better, understanding their preferences, interests, and even their day-to-day challenges. This deep connection allows them to tailor their content in a way that feels more relevant and engaging to their followers. 

For brands, this means that collaborations with these influencers are likely to be met with a warmer reception. The audience perceives the influencer’s endorsement as a recommendation from a trusted source, making them more open to exploring and embracing the advertised products or services.

In essence, the personal connection cultivated by nanoinfluencers and microinfluencers can lead to more effective and impactful influencer marketing campaigns, as they bridge the gap between brands and consumers in a more intimate manner.

3. Higher engagement rates

A standout feature of nanoinfluencers and microinfluencers is their higher engagement rates compared to larger influencers. 

Engagement rate, a critical metric in influencer marketing, often diminishes as follower counts grow. However, nanoinfluencers and microinfluencers buck this trend. Later x Fohr’s study shows that the less followers an influencer has on Instagram, the more engagement they get.

Their more modest following size allows for stronger, more interactive relationships with their audience, resulting in higher levels of engagement such as likes, comments, and shares.

This increased engagement is a testament to the closer, more personal bond they have with their followers. Their audience doesn’t just passively consume their content; they interact with it, engage in conversations, and often feel a part of the influencer’s journey. For brands, this means that collaborations with these influencers are likely to see higher levels of audience participation and interest.

In addition, the high engagement rates of nanoinfluencers and microinfluencers signal to social media algorithms that their content is valuable, often increasing its visibility. This results in a greater organic reach, making these influencers invaluable assets for brands seeking to maximize the impact of their marketing campaigns.

4. Authority in specific niches

Nanoinfluencers and microinfluencers frequently establish themselves as authorities or key opinion leaders—frequently called KOLs—in specific niches, a factor that significantly amplifies their influence. Their focus on particular topics, hobbies, or industries allows them to cultivate deep knowledge and expertise in these areas. This specialization not only attracts an audience with specific interests but also establishes the influencer as a go-to source for information and opinions in that domain.

For brands, partnering with influencers who have authority in a specific niche offers a direct line to a highly targeted audience. 

Whether it’s lifestyle, gaming, technology, or any other sector, the niche authority of nanoinfluencers and microinfluencers ensures that their endorsements resonate strongly with an audience already interested in those specific topics.

This focused authority is especially valuable in influencer marketing, as it allows for more precise targeting and tailored messaging. Collaborations with these influencers can yield highly effective results, as they are able to authentically integrate products or services into content that aligns seamlessly with their established expertise and audience interests.

As you’ve seen, tapping a nanoinfluencer or macroinfluencer is impactful in spreading brand awareness and engagement. To find the Key Opinion Leader (KOL) that perfectly aligns with your brand’s values and goals, it’s crucial to partner with a reputable influencer management agency. M2.0 Communications has built an extensive network of social media contacts to support our partners with their influencer marketing strategies.

Unlock the full potential of your phone camera with these mobile videography techniques that are sure to improve the quality of your videos.  

When shooting with your phone, it’s important to pull out all stops to make sure your footage comes out looking great. Follow these mobile videography tips to take high-quality videos on your phone’s camera.

Pay Attention to Composition

Getting your composition right is crucial to shooting visually appealing videos. Keep your subject in focus by centering the shot around them, and removing any unnecessary clutter from the background.
If you want to add some flair to your footage, you could also try using the rule of thirds. Imagine splitting your screen into a grid of nine equal parts, like a tic-tac-toe board.

The rule of thirds says that you should place the important parts of your shot at the spots where the vertical and horizontal lines meet. This will create balance and add a touch of style to your videos. Give it a shot!

Stabilize Your Phone

Keep your phone stable when you’re shooting so that your video comes out smoothly. A useful trick is to keep your elbows close to your body and your knees slightly bent while filming to minimize any shakiness. If you’re planning to keep your shot still, using a tripod is a good idea too. It’ll keep your video steady and free from any unwanted shaking.

Manage Lighting

Great lighting makes great videos! Use natural light in your footage whenever you can by positioning yourself near windows or shooting outdoors. If ever natural light is limited or unavailable, you can also opt for artificial light sources. Get creative and try different angles until you achieve the perfect lighting effect to make your subject shine.

Avoid Digital Zoom

When shooting videos on your phone, steer clear of digital zoom, because it can make your footage come out pixelated and blurry. Instead, physically move your phone closer to the subject. This way, you get to keep your video quality high while achieving the same zoom effect.

Consider Advanced Camera Apps

While your phone comes with a built-in camera app, it might not always provide you with all the functions you need to take full control of your camera. Advanced camera apps such as Protake (Android or IOS) will give you the freedom to adjust things such as your audio levels, video resolution, frame rate, and a number of specific video settings that will give you more creative control over your videos.

Key Takeaways

Before you go, here’s a quick recap of all the tips we discussed. Make sure to keep these in mind the next time you shoot on mobile!

  • Pay attention to composition when setting up your camera by centering your subject or using the rule of thirds to balance your shots.
  • Stabilize your phone by either holding your elbows close to your body or putting your phone on a tripod.
  • Manage lighting in your shot, using natural light whenever possible and experimenting with different angles until your subject is well-lit.
  • Avoid using digital zoom on your phone’s camera since it can degrade the quality of your footage. case studies page
  • Consider advanced camera apps such as Protake which give you more freedom to adjust your phone’s camera settings.

What’s Next?

Mastering mobile videography is a process that takes time, practice, and a continued willingness to learn, so don’t be afraid to make mistakes along the way. Stay curious, keep experimenting with different shooting styles and techniques, and let your creativity flow. Happy shooting!

THE CHALLENGE

The Brazilian Embassy faced a unique challenge in their mission to promote Brazilian brands through their Facebook page. This initiative was part of a broader effort to boost the visibility and appeal of Brazilian products internationally. The challenge gained momentum when BRF Global, a major player in the food industry, decided to collaborate with the Embassy for this project. BRF Global's products, predominantly sold to large corporations rather than retail consumers, were not available in grocery stores in the Philippines. This presented a significant obstacle in reaching the wider public.  The lack of retail presence meant that BRF needed a creative approach to build brand awareness and showcase the quality of its products. To develop and implement an effective brand awareness campaign for enhancing their market presence, BRF Global sought the support of M2.0 Communications.
