HOW VIRAL IT WAS?

TARGET GROUP

22.2 Million Users

For engaging the people and letting them participate in the campaign, the theme of the campaign was decided to be funny. It chose to reach out to the

masses via stand-up comedy on Twitter.

• To reach out to the masses and convince them to engage in the campaign, Twitter was chosen as the medium.

• The whole campaign was leveraged on stand-up comedy. For this, the hilarious stand-up comedian trio – Azeem Banatwalla, Karunesh Talwar

and Kunal Kamra were involved.

• The theme for the comedy act for the whole campaign was “bad investments”. It was kept in order to attract people for the campaign.

• Since the campaign was planned for one day; there was a buzz created on the social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter and YouTube) two days

prior only.

STRATEGY OF THE CAMPAIGN

• There were two contests executed in the two days of the campaign. One

was to change a given name of a movie with something quirky related to

investment. For example, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was changed to Hum

Premium De Chuke Sanam. The second one was to share their weirdest

selfies along with the hashtag #StandUpOnTwitter.

• To invite more people for participation, a gift voucher every 10 minutes

and one Ipad mini as the grand prize was announced as gratification.

• On the day of the campaign, the stand-up comedians took over. Their

performances were streamed live for the people.

• The trio of the comedians also invited people to ask questions related to

‘bad investments’ using the campaign hashtag #StandUpOnTwitter with

the promise of sharing funny video responses to them.

STRATEGY OF THE CAMPAIGN

• “#StandUpOnTwitter A 4 crore chess set made up of crystals!” So tell us about your insane investments and grab vouchers after every 10 minutes.

• Funny Face cracked you up! Tweet us your selfie that best matches this impression, see how you win!

• Are you all having a gala time! RT and spread the laughter #StandUpOnTwitter

• @HDFCLIFE If Iceland has ice, does Finland have fins? #StandUpOnTwitter

• @HDFCLIFE #StandUpOnTwitter If electricity comes from electrons, does morality comes from morons?
