Find the Christmas Pickle | Engagement-Based Giveaway


Background

Inspired by the cherished tradition of hiding the Christmas pickle in Christmas trees, I conceptualized and creatively directed a digital experience that brought the excitement of finding the ornament to Pickerfresh audiences. This unique campaign aimed to boost engagement and video views on Instagram and TikTok while spreading holiday cheer, setting it apart from standard Instagram follower giveaways.

To engage the audience, an illustrated Christmas pickle was hidden in one of the five Reels posted before the giveaway announcement.

One lucky winner received a Christmas pickle ornament, free Pickerfresh products, and a $100 Walmart gift card.
