Table of contents:

In a groundbreaking move that bridges the gap between social media and television, Popular Pays and PepsiCo Foods US have not only revolutionized content distribution but also earned international recognition for their innovative approach. The FLVR campaign, which brought social media-style content to Fire TV, has been awarded Silver for Best Micro Creator Campaign at the prestigious Global Influencer Marketing Awards (GIMAs) in London.

A Recipe for Success: The FLVR Campaign

PepsiCo Foods US, home to beloved snack brands like Cheetos, Lay's, and Doritos, set out to reach new audiences and drive brand awareness among home cooks and younger demographics. Partnering with Popular Pays, they launched FLVR, a food entertainment channel that initially gained traction on TikTok with over 1 million followers.

The real innovation came when Popular Pays helped FLVR transcend the boundaries of social media. In less than a month, they:

  • Engaged popular content creators to produce branded videos
  • Created and launched 15 new Fire TV videos
  • Developed a channel trailer for the Fire TV home screen

This strategic move brought culinary inspiration directly to viewers' living rooms, allowing them to discover recipes featuring Frito-Lay products and even make purchases through Amazon with just a few clicks.

Impressive Results That Sizzle

The campaign's performance was nothing short of remarkable:

  • 9.6 million total impressions
  • 64% video completion rate among all audiences (over 70% for Gen-Z)
  • 50x benchmark for return on ad spend (ROAS)
  • 15x benchmark for product detail page views
  • 47% of overall sales from new-to-brand shoppers

Chris Bellinger, Chief Creative Officer at PepsiCo Foods US, praised the collaboration: "Using Amazon Ads partner Popular Pays helped make this opportunity turnkey and a success in the face of tight timelines. The collaboration across teams was second to none."

Global Recognition: Winning Silver at the GIMAs

The success of the FLVR campaign didn't go unnoticed in the industry. At the 6th annual Global Influencer Marketing Awards in London, Popular Pays and PepsiCo Foods US were honored with the Silver award for Best Micro Creator Campaign.

Winning in the Best Micro-Influencer Campaign category underscores the FLVR campaign's innovative approach to leveraging content creators and expanding their reach beyond traditional social media platforms.
