Client's Challenge
Nedbank Greenbacks needed to announce a major competition winner, a bp customer who won a brand-new Mini Cooper and the petrol attendant who served them, who also won a cash prize. Previous winner announcements were text-heavy and failed to capture emotional impact, resulting in low engagement. They faced several challenges: underwhelming announcements that didn't resonate, a missed opportunity to highlight the unique "customer + attendant" feel-good story, a lack of authentic content that drives shares, and the need to balance both Nedbank and bp brands while providing social proof that real people win life-changing prizes.
