Curious to see how brands engage with their consumers in September? Let’s take a closer look at our favourite interactive marketing campaigns from last month.

1. SNCB’s concert contest

September kicks off a new school year with many new activities to test. SNCB, the company that manages the Belgian railways, launched with their partners a contest offering travellers the opportunity to win a combo ticket (train + concert) to the concert of their choice.

The contest was divided into three parts:

First, participants had to vote for the concert of their choice;
Then, they had to answer a question about the combo ticket offered by SNCB;
Finally, SNCB asked participants two funny questions about concert halls before displaying a form asking for their contact information.

In total, the SNCB has put more than 70 tickets up for grabs!

2. FC Groningen co-branded campaign

In partnership with Pearle Opticiens, FC Groningen imagined a “guess who?” game, challenging participants to guess the players from a blurred image. A funny campaign to launch with a brand that specialises in the best eye care!

Participants who managed to guess the FC Groningen players were then eligible to win a Pearle Opticiens gift card.

3. KitKat’s couponing campaign

For back-to-school, KitKat invited consumers to try their new breakfast cereals. How? By offering coupons sent by email! To receive their coupons, participants had to fill out a short form giving their name, email address and date of birth. The form also included an option to sign up for KitKat’s newsletter in order to increase the number of subscribers!

4. Foodsters’ pizza contest

The Foodsters community, which allows consumers to discover products for free, launched a contest around Italian cuisine.
