Here are some key insights that brands need to consider before kickstarting campaigns on Twitter:
- Tap into current issues – Remember to always pay attention to current and relevant trends that you can anchor your campaign on. Brands should learn a thing or two from Cream Silk (@CreamsilkPH). They made sure that their campaigns resonate with the issues of today, such as women empowerment and showcasing what it takes to be a modern Filipina.

2. Be relatable and humorous – Showing that your brand has a humanistic side is the perfect way to engage and connect with the audience. People react to amusing topics, and most of the Tweets that become viral are either funny, inspiring, or thought-provoking. Use Twitter to know what topics your target audience cares about and incorporate it in your campaigns.
3. Video works! – Brands in the Philippines are investing in creative video campaigns to promote their latest products and engage with target demographics. Pond’s Philippines (@PondsPH) went big in 2019 with its #SeeWhatHappens campaign that features the most beloved and sought after Filipino influencers as they highlighted the advantages of facing our insecurities head-on.
