A food and beverage manufacturer hired XploraBG to spearhead an influencer marketing campaign, including negotiating with the influencers, coordinating the creatives with them, and checking the KPIs.

The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
Our company is leading manufacturer and distributor of foods and beverages, operating in the FMCG sector. We are international company with business in a few countries, all part of the Polish Maspex Group.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire XploraBG?
Xplora is our SM agency which supports one of our leading juices brands for a few years now. For one of its product lines we wanted to run a digital campaign in order to associate better the products with specific occasion for consumption. We had a trade marketing campaign running previously and we wanted some digital continuation of it.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
Due to our partnership in the SM fields we have briefed Xplora to come up with a proposal how to execute this digital project.
Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.
We sent a brief, after which we had debrief, followed by a proposal from Xplora. They have proposed a list of influencers to cooperated with who would have to share their own content but under one common idea, namely "start your day with love." The campaign had to be continuations of our trade marketing campaign on St Valentine's day.
They have negotiated the influencers for us, signed the contracts, paid fees, coordinate the creative with them and with us, follow on the KPIs, posting schedule. As well as prepare the posting plans in the SM channels of the brand and plan additional boosting in proposed places.
How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We have one account who is responsible for our company and coordinates everything for us. So let's say that most of our work is done on one to one basis with our account manager.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
All the established KPIs were reached. We managed to execute the campaign with better CPM than the one planned and also generated higher CTR than it is typical for those type of activities.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
It was very easy to work with them. We had constant contact, and they were easily reached. Very fast is answering back and flexible.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
We like a lot their capabilities of media planning and I think they are absolute experts in that. They send one week report after each campaign start which is very useful because by monitoring how the activity goes, we can bring some improvements in order to make it more successful. They post report is also very nice and detailed, a rare find in many other agencies on the market.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
They need a little more experience in working with influencers which is normal because this trend is quite recent let's say. Also on creative part.
