Unmetric, a social media intelligence firm focused on brands uses its analytics platform to uncover the top performing campaigns, content and videos in the APAC region. Unmetric's Engagement Score rates each piece of content from 0 to 1000 depending on the amount of user interactions, which allows easy comparison of content regardless of the number of fans or followers a brand has. For the weekly Engagement Meter feature, Unmetric curates the list to pick the most creative, innovative or unusual initiatives. Here is a roundup of a few of the best in the period of 7 to 13 March.
1. AirAsia
Engagement Score: 1,000
Portraying the inside life and culture of a company through employee stories isn’t the newest of ideas, but what makes AirAsia’s campaign different is the execution. In its #togetherwestand campaign, which began after the loss of its flight 8501 in December, the aviation brand posted a series of videos that bring to light what it looks like to work in AirAsia. However, each video ties back to how all the staff have a singular goal of giving passengers the best experience possible. The videos have collectively received close to 300,000 views.
2. Dove India
Engagement Score: 1,000
Dove is one of the few brands in the personal care industry that venerates “realness” and effortless beauty. In its new #GlowWithDove campaign, the brand takes its regular route of impressing women with a mystery product that is eventually revealed to be Dove. The video has received almost 60,000 views in just a few days. On Twitter, the brand used the hashtag 167 times and announced a contest, at the end of which Dove gift hampers were promised. This got the over 16,000 other people to use the hashtag.

5. MakeMyTrip India
Engagement Score: 1,000
MakeMyTrip’s video campaign introduces its “UnCancel” feature with an emotional twist.
