Lidl Bakery Gold Card
Twitter trending on Blue Monday with £ZERO media spend
Lidl wanted to engage their audience on Blue Monday, and increase positive sentiment towards the brand. Not easy with every other brand in the world dropping their own
Idea: The Lidl Bakery Gold Card
Rather than just telling our audience to “cheer up”, we decided to do something that would actually cheer them up - and few things make the Lidl followers happier than free bakery stash... for an entire year.
Bye #BlueMonday 🌊 We’re giving one lucky Lidler the chance to win A FREE BAKERY TREAT EVERY DAY FOR A YEAR! 🥐
