Whether it’s consumer goods, services, or audiovisual programs, a product launch without advertising is like a firework without a spark: it risks going unnoticed! Advertising is essential to capturing the public's attention.

A digital-first advertising teaser

The video series 'Bref' offers a humorous, fast-paced, and ultra-contemporary look at the everyday lives of young adults, with a quirky twist. To promote the release of season 2 on Valentine’s Day, Disney+ wants to create palpable anticipation and boost engagement among both old and new fans

The challenge is to generate maximum visibility around the launch while strengthening the connection between the video series and its fan community, which includes digitally connected individuals across multiple age groups. 

  • Advertiser: Disney+
  • Target audience:Millennials (15-25 years old), young adults (25-35 years old), nostalgic fans of the first season (35-45 years old), and, more broadly, humor enthusiasts.
  • Goal: amplify the return of ‘Bref’ on Disney+ by engaging a multigenerational audience
  • Period:February 2025
  • Format: influencer campaign
  • Primary media:social media - Instagram

Strategy

To maximize the impact of the advertising tease, Slice launched a 3-phase Instagram campaign. They collaborated with 6 content creators who are experts in humor and digital storytelling. These creators were carefully selected to target all the key segments of the advertiser's audience. Each content creator developed their own script, which was then approved by the series creator to ensure it stayed true to the show’s unique style and universe. 

 A three-step process

  • Reels for the teasing phase:two weeks before the series launch on Disney+, each creator posted a reel on their Instagram account with the theme "Bref, I watched Disney+". Each one adopted the series’ signature narrative style while adding their personal comedic touch.
  • Stories for the revealing phase:the day after the reels were published, the creators posted Instagram stories officially announcing the arrival of ‘Bref’ on Disney+.
  • Stories on the launch day:to amplify the event and extend community engagement, the content creators reposted humorous stories on Valentine’s Day, playing on the theme "I started Bref, and here’s where I am now".

Media plan

To ensure optimal visibility for the launch of the series 'Bref,' Slice leveraged Instagram’s strengths: a platform centered on images and videos, perfect for grabbing attention, a network where creators and followers actively engage, and interactive formats (stories, reels, lives) that boost interaction and virality. 

 

A social media campaign designed to spark excitement:

  • 6 carefully selected content creators known for their humor and ability to embody the series' characters, making the promotion more immersive and authentic.
  • 6 reels published simultaneously to maximize virality.
  • 6 strategically posted Stories to maintain engagement.
  • 6 additional stories to extend the campaign's lifespan.

Results

The launch campaign for the series 'Bref' shows how a well-executed social media strategy can be highly effective in promoting new products. Additionally, a multi-phase marketing teaser campaign, featuring carefully selected content creators and impactful short formats, generates massive visibility. 

 

A textbook case for a successful launch:

  • Millions of impressions generated on Instagram: 1.06 million views for the reels and 303.000 views for the stories
  • Exceptional engagement with influential creators
  • Optimal resonance within each audience segment
  • A compelling communication approach, aligned with both consumer expectations for the new product and social media trends
