SOLUTION
–

SPONSORED INMAIL

Tecate sought to reach a professional audience with different job positions through the use of the Sponsored InMail ad format offered by LinkedIn, a platform which they never used for amplification purposes.

This format allowed them to reach users between 18 and 34 years old with Trainee, Entry and Senior level, as well as Managers, Directors and within the “Mobile Device” segment, that is, people who connect to linkedin mainly via Mobile.

The message consited on different tips to decorate their work space simulating the world cup ambience in Russia and thus, generate a greater proximity to the event. In addition, the ad’s call-to-actions directed to videos of the campaign that shared the story of 6 friends who traveled to support Mexico during the World Cup, but who realized that it would be very difficult to win, so they resort to the help of Sylvester Stallone, who through his character in Rocky, had managed to be boxing world champion in that country.
