Halifax Shopping Centre reached out to Haltitube to create a campaign to welcome students back to Halifax. In September 2019, we aimed to attract students to HSC and to increase the shopping centre’s reach into diverse communities.

We made a full Back to School season campaign for the Halifax Shopping Centre.

Production

We have produced one Halitube episode to showcase a unique way to shop and experience in the mall.

After showcasing our unique way to shop and discover the mall, we also give back to the community, with gifts from the HSC.

What We Did

Instagram Voting Campaign

Halitube created the "Instagram Control My Day" Campaign

We announced a series of Instagram-voting posts. Participants voted in the poll, choosing which stores and shopping activities they wanted to take part in. In the voting, shoppers choose what they would eat in the food court and what they were going to wear back to school. After 15 mins, the results of each vote were announced. Campaign participants took part in the activity that won the vote. 

Participating Chinese audiences attracted by the Halitube campaign received a $5 gift card at the HSC customer service desk. Supply was limited.

We produced one episode on Halitube to show the Chinese students participating in the campaign at HSC. One article was produced on the WeChat platform to promote the campaign WeChat in-time reposting Instagram stories.
