VITASOY
Generating interest and buzz for a new tea drink among millennial Asian Americans
in the highly competitive beverage category.
Challenge
APartnership was tasked with helping Vitasoy launch the new addition of Lemon Tea to the beverage portfolio. That this is a highly cluttered category in the Asian grocery channel was our biggest challenge. The primary goal of the campaign was to create awareness among primary Iced Lemon Tea drinkers – the millennial Asian Americans.
Solution
The centerpiece of the campaign was a collaboration with the Fung Brothers and Wong Fu Productions, popular Chinese-American YouTube personalities, who represent the Asian American millennials we are trying to reach.
To amp up the virality of the campaign, the Fung Brothers and Wong Fu were tapped to leverage their social networks for social sharing and engagement through original video content, strategically timed posts and online contest.
Scope of Campaign

Fung Brothers Music Video
Instore promotion – POS

I thoroughly enjoyed working with the APartnership team on our iced tea launch.

With their help, we have found more effective ways to interact and engage with our target audiences, especially the Asian millennials.
