Not only did the activity do well on networking websites, it also managed to get more than 6L views combined on their YouTube videos that take their contestants on a life changing journey. Only 6 more episodes till the grand finale to know who the final winners of the competition are.
With the campaign actively promoted across social media platforms, it managed to trend twice nationally.
Creating native content by weaving in the brand subtly works well for Tetley Green tea as opposed to habitual hashtag contest and other such social trends.
