Covid-19 has brought the importance of health and hygiene into sharp focus whereby hand hygiene is perceived as a crucial part of total hygiene, and tissue paper has an important role to play. duomedia worked out a comprehensive communication strategy around ‘Tissue paper – The Smart Choice’.
The campaign
The ultimate goal of the campaign was to influence, convince and ultimately convert B2B decision makers to make the switch to tissue paper solutions as being the most hygienic, safe solution to keep people and their environment safe. Next to decision makers in procurement and horeca also the bigger public needed to be made aware of the excellent properties of tissue paper.
The campaign duomedia proposed envisaged several touch points with each of these audiences.

The influencer marketing
To add credibility through third-party authority to the campaign, duomedia involved influencers and appointed them as tissue ambassadors. Influencers are capable of incorporating a brand story or campaign message into their daily lives in a trustworthy, relatable manner.
A selection of macro and micro-influencers were briefed on the core messaging around Tissue Paper and each of them transformed and personalized the story to their followers.
Indeed, duomedia believes that influencers help reach a new audience, give a new perspective, and build trust in the community. In addition, they proved very helpful in boosting the registrations for the virtual summit.
duomedia based its influencer tactic on sponsored content.
