The opportunity

With the need for healthy meals being a key feature of the Ramadan season, Saudi Arabian personnel provider SMASCO (@SMASCO_KSA) spotted an ideal opportunity to use a new approach to promote its brand and reach new audiences on Twitter.

The strategy

Using Twitter’s In-Stream Video Sponsorship, @SMASCO_KSA partnered with popular content creator Fatafeat (@Fatafeat) to share recipe videos with Twitter followers through a fun, educational campaign that lasted the month of Ramadan.

Sponsored by @SMASCO_KSA and promoted by (@Fatafeat), the instructional videos demonstrated easy-to-follow recipes for tasty breakfasts and evening meals, to keep people healthy and satisfied during Ramadan.

The videos also included promotional information about @SMASCO_KSA and its services, alongside and a call to action to download the company’s mobile app, which helped @SMASCO_KSA boost brand awareness and build stronger engagements across Twitter.
