DCI Score Overview: 100
Jarritos’ DCI score is a combination of an Engagement Score (ES) and Virality Score (VS). Incorporating both a social component and embedded content, Jarritos built a well-rounded campaign, equipped to drive both engagement and virality.
Check out more details below on best practices you can incorporate into your digital campaigns to increase Engagement and Virality.
Engagement Score
- Keep your fans coming back. Campaigns traditionally see a surge of activity immediately after launching, but that initial enthusiasm gradually dissipates without ongoing promotion. By spreading out rewards or exclusive content, like Jarritos did by including special content and daily prizes, brands can encourage repeat visits, sharing and generate ongoing momentum for their campaign.
- Create a sense of community around your brand. Jarritos gave their consumers the platform to share their celebrations or celebration goals, creating a mini-online birthday party for a brand with a loyal and excited community. Creating a positive space for your consumers to interact with other consumers around your product or a common goal will have your engagement rates soaring.
Virality Score
- Build your campaign around an event. Jarritos’ campaign was built around the brands birthday, which is a great tactic for bolstering the success and visibility of a campaign, but also sharing a bit of brand history. By launching their campaign in tandem with a moment rooted in the brand’s heritage, consumers may be more likely to take interest and share.
- Encourage sharing for multiple chances to win. A simple way to increase sharing is to reward consumers that share the campaign with another chance to win a prize. As an extension to their current campaign, Jarritos might also consider adding this component to increase the number of people sharing using their birthday hashtag.
The Jarritos team did a great job of designing a campaign that was optimized for both engagement and virality, both serving a primary goal for the brand. Leveraging multiple campaign use cases to ensure your campaign is designed for both engagement and virality can be key to success. Learn more about why here.
