Kaufland 1M TikTok Challenge – Community-Driven Engagement Campaign
Role:
Senior Art Director Client: Kaufland Romania Agency: v8 Year: 2024
Overview:
As Kaufland Romania approached 1 million followers on TikTok, we aimed to celebrate this milestone by engaging the community in a unique and entertaining way. The idea was simple: lock a staff member inside a Kaufland store and have them complete challenges suggested by TikTok users. No prizes, no rules—just pure, community-driven fun.
We initiated the campaign with a video announcing the challenge, inviting users to submit tasks in the comments. From counting all the potatoes in the store to doing push-ups, the staff member took on a variety of amusing challenges, all documented and shared on TikTok.
My Contribution:
As Senior Art Director, I led the visual and creative direction of the campaign, ensuring that each piece of content was engaging and aligned with the brand's identity. My responsibilities included:
Visual Identity: Developing a cohesive and vibrant visual style that resonated with the TikTok audience.

Community Engagement: Designing interactive elements that encouraged user participation and fostered a sense of community.

Growth from 970K to 1 million followers without a dedicated user acquisition campaign.
