LG Electronics Australia has completed a six-week social media influencer program designed to increase awareness of LG mobile’s latest smartphone release.
As a smaller player in the smartphone space, LG said it needed to look to creative ideas to gain cut through. To do this, it recruited 30 social media influencers to become ‘G4Recommenders’ for the duration of the campaign.
The influencers were recruited to engage with the brand on social media due to their exciting, engaging and popular Instagram pages. Influencers included a mix of foodies, fashionistas, photographers and an even split between males and females.
In order to effectively run the campaign, LG engaged end-to-end collaboration platform, Hypetap, that connects an invitation-only network of agencies, brands and influencers. The company claimed the platform was instrumental in communicating with all influencers regularly, and also provided an integrated reporting tool.
“It was clear we needed to take a approaches to media when we launched this year’s flagship device, the LG G4," LG Australia mobile communications marketing manager, Brad Reed, said. "Being aware of the power of social media is one thing, turning on that power to support your brand in a relevant way is not necessarily that straightforward.”
Reed recognised that with social media, brands can easily overstep in the social space and be viewed cynically.
"We wanted to ensure that we created something new and different that would in turn develop unique and creative content engage the audience," he said. "We were delighted with what we saw from the G4Recommenders as an initial trial. The level of engagement and creativity of the posts exceeded our expectations.
"Judging by the feedback we have been able to convert customers across to our brand and created an independent voice to support awareness building for the G4. The challenge is now to continue this success and expand it further to develop an even larger group of advocates for the brand."

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
