Creative Execution

Instead of creating content on social media for our campaign, we simply reused 45 of the billions of existing tweets already sent by users. We retweeted them on our profile in a specific order, to create a new story presenting our eco-friendly philosophy. Some of these tweets were old publications from key opinion leaders, who received a notification. It was enough to grab their attention and spread the word: 30 minutes later, our profile went viral, and Biocoop set up an example of an eco-friendly treatment of social media never used before.

Without media investment, without creating a single piece of content, without posting a single tweet, and without using a single PR kit, the results were: • + 156 000 visits on our Twitter profile (+5500%) • 10,421,251 impressions • 7,312 total tweets by 5,733 users • 98 % positives mentions • 1455 tweets including the word « genius » • + 2300 followers • Hundreds of articles saluting our idea

Biocoop is the first retailer of organic food in France. It has been founded by farmers and consumers truly committed to a greener and more responsible planet. Biocoop asked us to raise awareness about their uncompromising ethics and philosophy. We launched the first eco-friendly integrated campaign. We rethought every single production detail from scratch and found green, innovative ways to address every touchpoints. Even on social networks. On Twitter, 300 000 tweets are posted every minute. 70% of them are never replied to neither retweeted… All this useless data created needs ever more energy consuming storage. Our idea? « Recyclable Tweets », the first ever Twitter campaign made without writing a single tweet. How did we do it? We looked for specific words through the billions of old pre-existing tweets. By retweeting them in a precise order, we created bit by bit a new story on our timeline: our own.
