Baidu, a leading Chinese internet company, collaborated with Influence4You for its 2017 end-of-year digital campaigns. Our experts have set up three international campaigns to promote their latest app features in English speaking markets.
The context of the cooperation
For their 2017 end-of-the-year marketing campaigns, Baidu DU Recorder team and Facemoji Emoji Keyboard team would like to acquire more potential users by collaborating with relevant and engaging influencers.
DU Recorder App Operation
DU Recorder is a mobile screen recording app, and they are mainly targeting mobile gamers who would use this app for recording their game plays and share to friends or creating youtube videos. Until 2017 November, this app has only Android version, which brought us a great challenge of looking for great influencers to targeting such a niche audience pool.
The solution brought by Influence4You
Influence4You teams, used to work internationally, have proposed three distinct operations in order to obtain the greatest possible impact. Thanks to our know-how and our technology, we quickly filtered influencer profiles in order to accurately obtain Gaming Youtubers with a majority of Android mobile users. In order to reach as many Android Mobile gamers as possible, we chose influencers playing on one of the most popular mobile games of the moment: SuperCell’s games. The same time, we require each influencer provide us with their android mobile user percentage for the decision making reference.
#Campaign 1 – DU Recorder – November
Three Youtubers were selected. All matched customer needs, and have different profiles to maximize results:
- OrangeJuice Gaming has a large audience, allowing more visibility.
- General Tony also has a large number of subscribers, but above all achieves a significant engagement rate of 7%!
- Power Bang Gaming is well known for the high quality of its videos and his profession.
We helped DU Recorder Team designed 3 phases campaign to drive a great conversions and engagement of this app with its users.
