#MangInasalFamilyFiesta TikTok Challenge wins Gold at Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards

Mang Inasal, the country’s Grill Expert, has won a Gold Stevie® Award for its #MangInasalFamilyFiesta TikTok Challenge in the 2023 Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards.

The recognition was given under the “Innovation in the Use of Viral Media or Word of Mouth” category. Over 800 nominations were considered in various categories for this year’s Stevie Awards, and the winners were determined by more than 100 judges worldwide.

Veering away from traditional advertising and paid media, Mang Inasal capitalized on viral marketing with the use of TikTok and user-generated content to raise awareness, conversations, and sales from netizens on the newly launched Family Fiesta — a special bundle of char-grilled favorites that’s perfect for office parties, family reunions, and various gatherings.

From October 20 to November 30, 2022, netizens were enticed to order the Family Fiesta, take fun consumption videos with their family or friends, and post their videos on TikTok.

The challenge generated over 30 million TikTok views within the campaign period, or 321% higher than the target. It was so successful that fun Family Fiesta videos continued to be posted in the platform even after the campaign, which helped promote the product and make it part of netizens’ holiday celebrations. Further, the #MangInasalFamilyFiesta TikTok Challenge translated to actual sales as it helped the brand consistently exceed targets over a three-month period.
