WHAT IT IS?

‘If it is not on social media, it does not exist!’ The food chain company Chipotle knows this and has taken advantage of it. They understand what the Online Digital Loyalty Loop means!
In May 2019, when famous app TikTok first took off, a worker of the company made a video of himself flipping over a lid of one of their products. The video became a sensation, so popular they decided to challenge their customers to create a video doing the same and upload it on TikTok: #lidflipchallenge. The challenge reached 268 Million views in one month. The challenge is open to anybody worldwide, although it is tailored to those who have this American chain of fast-casual restaurants available in their country.

WHY IT’S COOL?

Chipotle makes use of digital marketing superiorly and manages to reach huge amounts of Generation Z and younger Millennials. The brand announces digital sales growth of 88% and revenue growth of 14.6% to $1.4bn since they have started the challenges. People do it for fun but also obtain some meal recompense. This costs little to the company, but is Cool advertising. Chipotle has already reached more than 1.7M followers on TikTok, compared to their 1.1M followers on Instagram.

WHY IT HAS FUTURE GROWTH POTENTIAL?

Creating a strong following on social media platforms, such as Instagram and TikTok, will increase a brand’s popularity and its reach out. Chipotle shows how you can do that. After #lidflipchallenge, they followed up with #guacdance — in honor of avocado day. With #boorito challenge — for Halloween, and several others. For those TikTok users who follow them and also upload the challenge, food retributions are offered.

    More and more brands are trying to become ‘relatable’ on tiktok, and it isn’t always working! sometimes they are being met with criticism relating to the brand and how the content is different than their actual values.

    This definitely underlines the importance of social media, but we already knew this. Didn’t find the post that cool or exiting.

    Because Tiktok can reach people of different ages and backgrounds, it has become a marketing tool for businesses. This Chipotle is an example of how unintentional marketing can become viral.

    It really shows how social media is very important. Tiktok is now a new platforms where anyone, anywhere can become viral in seconds. However, becoming viral is not always something positive.
