Emirates Park Zoo
Emirates Park Zoo aimed to boost visitor numbers and engagement on social media during the summer months. Agency Helix was enlisted to conceptualize and execute the #10by10 campaign, leveraging a creative competition format to increase follower engagement and drive foot traffic to the zoo.
Agency Helix devised a strategic approach to the #10by10 campaign, combining creativity, education, and incentives to maximize results:
The agency introduced a unique competition format, inviting followers to participate in a guessing game centered around the zoo’s animal residents. Over the course of 10 days, Emirates Park Zoo released a series of educational videos, each featuring a different animal. Followers were challenged to guess the species showcased in each video for a chance to win free entry to the zoo.
By offering free entry as a prize, Agency Helix incentivized follower engagement and participation in the competition. The allure of a complimentary zoo visit motivated users to actively engage with the content and submit their guesses, driving up interaction rates and increasing page engagement.
To optimize campaign performance, Agency Helix adopted a commercial approach, carefully allocating the campaign’s advertising budget. By leveraging the high engagement generated by the competition format, the agency ensured maximum visibility for the campaign while minimizing ad spend, effectively reaching a larger audience at a lower cost.
In addition to the competition format, Agency Helix focused on producing visually compelling and informative content. The educational videos not only entertained followers but also served as a means of promoting the zoo’s diverse array of animal exhibits, further incentivizing followers to visit in person.
