Brief Explanation

This is the story of how Lenovo brought thousands of families together this Ramadan. Lenovo wanted to take advantage of Ramadan to start a legacy of CSR in the region, build brand awareness and generate positive sentiment for the brand. This was a challenge with conservative media spend, especially during Ramadan, as it’s known to be the most heavily spent and advertising cluttered season in the year. We asked people to lock their phones at peak times, so they could spend more time with their families than their smartphones. For every minute they spent with their family, Lenovo donated the equivalent in data minutes to migrant workers who connected with their families overseas. Lenovo look to achieve the following objectives: Business Initiate a CSR activity for the brand Brand Build positive equity, sentiment and social conversation for Lenovo Behavior Encourage charitable acts and positive smartphone behavior during Ramadan The initiative was a simple technological solution that quickly became the number one lifestyle app. Our media strategy through generating awareness using promoted posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as they were the most popular social platforms being used by our audience, the video content on Facebook and YouTube being key to capture interest. The video led the audience to the Google Play App store where they could download Hadia Time. The campaign achieved the following results against the set objectives: Business Initiate a CSR activity for the brand Hadia Time is an initiative that placed Lenovo in the CSR space while promoting the brand in a genuine way.
