Red FM’s mission is to entertain, inform, and connect with its listeners through culturally rich and impactful content that resonates with people of all age groups.

As part of their cultural outreach, Red FM wanted to create a buzz around the traditional festival of Navratri by launching a special campaign, Red Raas. The objective was to amplify the festive spirit, increase engagement, and encourage active participation from people all over India.

Campaign Objective

The core objective of the Red Raas campaign was to promote the joy and excitement of Navratri, while emphasizing Red FM's cultural involvement. The campaign aimed to:

  1. Boost Audience Engagement: Encourage people to engage with Red FM’s Navratri-themed content through social media platforms.
  2. Promote Brand Awareness: Strengthen the brand’s connection with its audience by associating Red FM with the vibrancy of Indian culture.
  3. Generate User-Generated Content: Inspire listeners to share their festive moments, creating a ripple effect and increasing organic visibility.
  4. Drive Festival Participation: Increase participation in Red FM’s Navratri special events and content.

Our Approach: Influencer Marketing Strategy

Understanding the importance of authentic cultural engagement, we devised an influencer marketing strategy that would amplify the Red Raas campaign. Here’s a breakdown of our approach:

1. Influencer Selection:

We collaborated with a diverse group of 27 influencers from various regions of India. This diversity ensured that we reached the target audience across different demographics, ensuring localized, culturally relevant content that resonated with each region.

2. Content Creation:

Each influencer was entrusted with the task of sharing stories and posts that celebrated the essence of Navratri while promoting Red Raas. They donned vibrant, traditional outfits and created content that resonated with their followers, ranging from dance videos to personal stories of celebrating the festival.

3. Platform Strategy:

We focused on Instagram, Facebook, and other platforms, given their wide reach and interactive features. Influencers posted on Instagram stories, reels, and static posts, while also engaging in real-time with their followers through live sessions, driving participation in Red FM's festival-themed events.

4. Hashtag Strategy:

We developed a branded hashtag, #RedRaas, to create a unified conversation thread across social media. This helped in tracking participation and user-generated content, making it easier to measure campaign success and audience engagement.

5. Targeted Audience Engagement:

Influencers created content that catered to their specific audience's interests and demographics, ensuring that each post had relevance and value to the target groups, further enhancing the campaign’s effectiveness.
