To create excitement and build awareness of the "Bold Nacho Cheese Shells", BuzzFeed and OEP created 4 custom social posts, 2 premium social posts, and a custom Cheesy Reaction Badge and Feed, all centered around the need for cheese. Aiming to scale the cheese conversation, program content ranged from thematic to tactical posts for all audiences to enjoy. Posts such as “13 Haikus Accurately Portray Your Love Of Cheese” and “11 Ways To Add Cheese Into Every Element Of Your Life” varied in approach, but both proved successful.
To further bring the product to life in a bold way, BuzzFeed and OEP created a first-of-its-kind premium post where brave souls were quizzed & blasted with cheese using OEP’s CheeseBlaster. The cheese-filled experience resulted in 2 premium social posts, both featuring custom GIFs for audiences to enjoy and share.
