As inspiration starts on LINE and it drives in-home cooking, our strategy is simple: in order to make housewives cook at home, Knorr has to rethink how it uses LINE.

We redesigned Knorr official LINE account, from a tool to broadcast one-size-fits-all coupons to a trusted partner that releases frustrations and provides useful instant inspiration.

In order to be relevant to over 12million Knorr LINE followers, we developed a sophisticated algorithm that would “read” their messages and send back an autoreply.

The reply was tailor made based on specific keywords the algorithm would find in the text, whether it is available ingredients, preparations, occasions…

Even more, the system was able to reach different fan profiles with a series of dedicated insightful recipes e.g.

- easy to cook with few ingredients meals for young housewives;

- healthy, non-spicy recipes for housewife with kids;

- sophisticated show-off recipes for the expert moms…

Hundreds of different options that inspired, surprised and helped housewives to cook for their family.
