Cedar Knolls, NJ – As a highlight of Internet Week New York, Brand Innovators held its first annual award ceremony to recognize the best practices and campaigns leveraging electronic media. Digital marketers attended the awards ceremony on May 16 at the Gansevoort Park Hotel in New York City. The Best Viral Campaign award went to Eggland’s Best eggs, one of the four finalists with Disney, Sony Electronics and Wrigley’s in the Viral Marketing category.
“Eggland’s Best is honored to be recognized by Brand Innovators for our viral marketing campaign in partnership with Fine Cooking magazine. During the course of the one-month digital promotion, we tripled the number of our Facebook page ‘likes’ which, combined with a record-breaking number of cookbook downloads, significantly increased our loyal fan base,” said Roger Koman, Director of New Media for Eggland’s Best. “It’s nice to be recognized not only for our innovation in the egg category, but also for being innovative in how we engage with our consumers through social media.”
Eggland’s Best hatched this campaign with finecooking.com in the fourth quarter of 2011. Consumers could download a free copy of The Best of Fine Cooking: Breakfast, 88 Delicious Recipes for Everyone’s Favorite Anytime Meal, valued at $9.99, courtesy of Eggland’s Best eggs. In order to receive the free download, consumers were asked to “like” the brand on Facebook, and also had the option to provide an e-mail address for future engagement.
Integrated throughout the book was information about Eggland’s Best eggs’ superior quality, nutrition and taste. To promote the campaign, Eggland’s Best offered bloggers an exclusive opportunity to download the book before promoting it on their other digital platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, website and e-newsletter. In addition, finecooking.com promoted the offer through on-site banner ads.
"A new generation of media vehicles is re-inventing the ways brands ‘engage’ with their consumers, anytime, anywhere, and on any device in a more addressable and personal way,” said Brandon Gutman, Co-Founder of Brand Innovators. “The Brand Innovators Award for Eggland’s Best in the viral marketing category acknowledges their innovative digital marketing campaign and honors Eggland’s Best as a ‘best of breed’ brand that is excelling in the use of electronic media.”
