We challenged Italians to have fun with what is most important to them: family celebrations, recreating the typical situations that happen in an Italian family at Christmas in a branded content video

Implementation

First, in collaboration with the jackal, the most popular Italian social-media influencers, we created a branded content video on our Facebook fan page about the worst things that can happen at Christmas time in Italy

The second video was about the very worst thing that can happen at Christmas: receiving awful presents. At the end of the video, we invited Vodafone Facebook fans to share photos of the worst gifts they received.

We shared a third content with a hit parade of their worst gifts.

Finally we launched the activation "The Christmas exchange".

We invited people to register on our Facebook tab and go to our stores to exchange their nasty presents for a Vodafone gift: 1 free giga of web-traffic
