In China, social is TV. More people view video online than anywhere else in the world. Tasked with telling the HHonors brand story in a compelling way, Edelman asked this online audience to instead tell the story for them.
Planning & Execution
Through a contest on Sina Weibo, Edelman offered three families an unforgettable journey across China. Travel experiences were captured on film to create a four-part video series, which was then posted on key video sites and the HHonors Sina Weibo account. Three top media outlets were also invited to cover each trip.
Effectiveness / Results
• Nearly 26M social media impressions
• Added hundreds of new followers to the Hilton HHonors Sina Weibo page, bringing its current fans to more than 19,000
• Secured 10.4+ M media impressions and 1.4+ M video views
