THE COFFEE BEAN & TEA LEAF

Celebrating 25 Years of CBTL

CHALLENGE

  • In the last 24 years, CBTL continued exploring amazing flavours the world had to offer & brought them to CBTL cafes in Malaysia. However, amplification across Malaysian media and digital space was scarce, as the brand mainly relied on in-store visibility and social media content announcements until 2022.
  • We were tasked to entice media, influencers and our end consumers to be a part of this 25 years celebration with the launch of the Lavender Cold Brew Latte – spurring them to explore the world of endless possibilities with us.

STRATEGY

  • We built a narrative surrounding “Home for 25 years” to invite Malaysians to celebrate the milestone, revolving around discovering global flavours from our very home ground via an omni-channel marketing strategy.
  • We launched what we called a “Purple Passport” – a nod to their Pink Card from over a decade before in Klang Valley, Penang and Johor where we organised a personal engagement session with media as they tried the new beverages and food and collected unique ‘passport’ stamps for a chance to win huge prizes.
  • We also took the opportunity to celebrate this milestone with other brands who also turned 25.
  • With that, the team activated and end-to-end media amplification with an Inverted digital funnel across key digital mediums to reach out to at least 50% of our target audience in Malaysia
  • From a content-led approach, CBTL partnered with GRIM Films to produce a brand video to visually story tell the narrative which we activated for the bottom-funnel.

RESULT

  • Our media friends helped deliver over RM370,911 in PR value and over 13 million in reach.
  • T15 million audiences across multiple channels with almost 5 million engagements competitively from age 18–45-year-old. A unique click of 186,123 also drove actions where the new audiences we reached out to,
opted to explore cafe locations from the campaign landing page.
  • The hero beverage, the Lavender Cold Brew Latte, surpassed its initial sales KPI by 150% per day.
