Updated: May 3, 2022

The global FMCG market was worth $10,020 billion in 2017 and was projected to reach $15,361.8 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 5.4% during this period. Despite the slight lull in the industry owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FMCG sector is quickly gaining momentum.


However, to make the most out of this small boom, FMCG brands need to come up with impressive campaigns that can leave a long-lasting impact on their target audience. To do that, they must find ways to capitalize on the potential of marketing channels available to them, just like these three FMCG brands made the most out of their Twitter campaigns.


1. OREO

Oreo is a brand of sandwich cookies consisting of two wafers with a sweet creme filling and is one of the most popular brands in America.

The campaign highlighted the significance of family love and affirmation in the LGBTQ+ community.



OREO also used First View to debut the #ProudParennt campaign to generate maximum visibility and impact. This helped OREO to take over the top of the timeline for those critical 24 hours. It also used Website Cards to link to its OREOProudParent.com website.

2. Milano Cookies

The Milano cookie is a trademarked cookie manufactured by Pepperidge Farm as part of its series of "European" cookies.



Their Objective

3. Rexona Indonesia

With the Indonesian national football tournament underway, Rexona Indonesia was trying to reach out to its passionate fans during the tournament’s televised coverage.



Their Objective

Rexona Indonesia sought to engage with its audience in real-time conversation while driving awareness of its new product, Rexona MotionSense.


Solution & Approach

Rexona used a combination of Twitter Ad products and built its campaign around the hashtag #MOGER- an Indonesian word that means “get moving”, tied to its MotionSense product. It used a Promoted Trend to lead the conversation on the first day, helping it stand out among all the other online activities around the event.



Rexona used Promoted Video and rich-media Promoted Tweets that featured match highlights to spark conversation. The use of Twitter Poll Cards created interaction with a soccer-crazy audience. Rexona also used interest targeting by including “soccer”, “politics”, and “sporting events” along with whitelisted sports influencers such as popular Indonesian player Evan Dimas to drive reach and content relevance.


The Result

Rexona’s Twitter campaign performed outstandingly well and attained an overall reach of 720,000 with an average engagement rate of 5.2% and a peak engagement rate of 15.4%. Also, the cost per engagement was $0.06. The Promoted Trend #MOGER generated 4.9 million impressions, 13,100 hashtag mentions, and an engagement rate of 2.7%.


Bottom Line

Twitter is one of the best platforms for brands that seek to benefit from a particular event and capitalize on the general sentiment associated with that event. With in-stream video ads and audience targeting, brands can ensure that they are reaching out to the most relevant audience with the most appealing content. However, this requires a clear strategy on how it will be achieved. A solid marketing campaign can go a long way in connecting brands with their existing and potential customers on Twitter.
