Case Study
Summary
After a long history, generating the same degree of earned media year on year was difficult given media was getting weary of the same old formula. So we evolved Sam’s political pastiche, and took him into popular culture. We used our owned channels, creating an entertainment platform around Sam’s foray into music to spread the word via ‘Barbie Girl’. This increased average weekly sales by 31.7% when Lamb prices were at an all time high. We reached 6.06m people through our owned channels and had up to 10,000 interactions daily on Facebook. And not one of the fans was another Kekovich. Lamb & Sam’s 7 year itch was averted.
