DIGITAL MEDIUM FOR AD FOR THE
FIRST TIME .
TO HELP THE POSITION OF
THEIR COMPANY
TO ADAPT TO THE NEW
GENERATION
CREATED AN APP “SOCIAL MEDIA
BREAK”
YOUTH FACES INCREASING
PRESSURES TO MAINTAIN
THEIR SOCIAL PRESENCE
Investing in the digital medium significantly for
the first time will help them to make the image
of the NESTLE company better. Apparently, they
only experimented on KitKat, since it is Nestle’s
most profitable product. To create a remarkable
entrée.
O B J E C T I V E S
“Social Media
Break” seeks to
highlight a serious
problem among
social media young
users in Asia. Most
Asian youths face
increasing
pressures to
maintain their
social media
STRATEGY
Actively used Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, and their own website to
relate and interact with their audience. For example the event where the
Bendable Iphone 6 was trending, they immediately tweeted a photo relatable for
the youth and will surely get their humor and attention. Also they were able to
integrate their “HAVE A BREAK, TAKE A KITKAT” tagline on their Social Media sites,
like using the hastags “#ThrowbreakThursday”, “#MovieBreak”,
“#ThursdayBreakTime”, and many more. Lastly, Nestle KitKat reached their
audiences not only on social media sites, but also in applications in phones,
