Creating a strategy that engages Gen Z
The Missouri Poison Center needed to figure out a way to engage a younger audience, and they trusted NW Media Collective to develop a strategy that worked. To accomplish their objective, we recommended launching their brand on the most popular app used by Gen Z: TikTok. The young, tech-savvy generation is known for being wary of ads, so the content had to catch their attention and be enjoyable to watch.
what we did
TikTok video creation, organic publishing & advertising
To help the Missouri Poison Center share important poison prevention information with young Missourians, we developed a strategy that blended organic and paid tactics, incorporating entertaining and educational themes. Our approach enabled the Missouri Poison Center to engage in authentic messaging and build trust among Gen Z, which is a notoriously challenging demographic to reach for many organizations. We delivered our strategy primarily through two campaigns: #PoisonPrevention and #AskMOPoison.
#PoisonPrevention Campaign
This series included both organic and paid videos. We used data from the Missouri Poison Center’s other marketing channels to identify popular topics that would resonate with a younger audience. We then created educational but relevant videos that spread poison information awareness. Our strategy also included using native-style video features like Stitching, Duets, and Trending Sounds to help our organic videos gain traction without advertising.
#AskMOPoison Campaign
Through a Q&A format, we helped the Missouri Poison Center earn user-generated content (UGC). UGC is significant because it helps establish trust and organically grow your community. We asked their fast-growing audience to leave their poison-related questions in the comments of videos, and each month, we created videos in response to their questions.
