Influencer's shoppable content driving online sales for a beauty brand

Let's talk about some big players in the food and beverage industry who have turned influencer marketing into their secret sauce. Remember when Beyoncé made her epic debut in a Pepsi ad? Or when Kylie Jenner's lip kits were practically sold out before they even launched? These aren't just celebrity endorsements; they're strategic partnerships that leverage star power to create buzz and drive sales. The key here? Authentic connections and the right fit between the brand and the influencer.

Take the case of Sunny Queen Farms’ partnerships with a slew of social media influencers. Their strategy wasn’t just to slap their logo on every Instagram feed but to engage with influencers who genuinely loved eggs.

From seasonal promotions to health-focused campaigns, they’ve had a real crack (pun intended) at leveraging authentic connections with key influencers. 

Here’s a closer look at how they’ve successfully employed influencer marketing to elevate their brand.

Seasonal Success: The Great Australian Egg Swap

For Easter, Sunny Queen Farms cooked up a delightful campaign called the Great Egg Swap, partnering with media-friendly hero talent along with hundreds of micro-influencers via RISER. This clever initiative encouraged consumers to swap some of their traditional chocolate Easter eggs for nutritious and delicious whole eggs. The campaign was a hit, featuring prominent Australian actor and former star of the Bachelor Australia, Tim Robards. Tim’s involvement added a touch of celebrity appeal and family fun, showcasing how Sunny Queen Farms’ eggs can be a healthier and tasty alternative to sugary treats, like in this “Easter bunny salad”

Armed with a full database of UGC influencer content, The campaign not only boosted engagement but also highlighted Sunny Queen Farms' commitment to promoting healthier eating habits during the festive season.

Celebrity  Advocates: Jules Sebastian’s Touch

In the realm of health and wellness, Sunny Queen Farms partnered with celebrity Jules Sebastian for their “When in the Aisle, Look for the Smile” campaign. Jules, known for her creative cooking and cocktail social media content, was a perfect fit for this initiative. The campaign aimed to direct consumers to choose Sunny Queen Farms when shopping for eggs, emphasising that selecting their products is always a choice you can feel good about. Jules’s involvement helped reinforce the message that Sunny Queen Farms offers high-quality, reliable products that complement a health-conscious lifestyle. Her recipes and tips integrated Sunny Queen eggs seamlessly into her culinary content, making them an attractive addition to any kitchen.

Recipe Collaborations and Farm-to-Table Stories

Sunny Queen Farms also excels in creating engaging content through recipe collaborations and farm-to-table stories. By partnering with food influencers, chefs, micro influencers en masse via RISER, they showcase the versatility of their eggs in a variety of recipes, from everyday meals to gourmet dishes. These influencers share step-by-step tutorials and personal cooking experiences featuring Sunny Queen products, providing valuable content that resonates with their audiences.

Social Media Challenges and Giveaways

To further engage their audience, Sunny Queen Farms has also run social media challenges and giveaways. By working with aligned brand partners like Beyond the Bump and 2 Doting Dads to host social media giveaways and podcast content, they create buzz and foster a sense of community around their brand.
