Move over flashmobs; tweetmob is here. It's an era of engagement and brands are constantly working out on next big ideas on various social platforms to engage with their target audiences. Leveraging the power of direct impulsive conversation on social media, Mirinda, the popular orange drink from PepsiCo innovated “Tweetmobs” to connect with its discerning consumers.

Mirinda, leveraged Twitter to announce the launch of its two new exciting Orange flavours - Orange Mango and Orange Masala. Furthermore, to create an awareness about the launch & excitement among Tweeples (Twitter users), Mirinda innovated with a idea of  Tweetmob on February 14^th 2012. To kick off impulsive conversations, a catchy topic was provided to the audiences to comment and converse in a given timeframe.  The topic was “what leaves you #breathless on a valentine's day”, the theme of breathless was in-line with the campaign idea of “un-putdownable tastes that leaves you breathless”. On Feb 14, the activity saw 2,220 tweets in the span of 9hrs resulting in 200 new followers for @MirindaIndia. Mirinda featured amongst topics breaking globally at the end of those 9 hours while MirindaIndia, #breathless trended nationally. All of this in the backdrop of Valentine's Day and an enthralling India versus Sri Lanka cricket match. Some quick numbers : Every 50 tweets with #breathless helped the brand reach 2,520 people which generated 357 re-tweets thus averaging 4 re-tweets of every Tweet by brand Mirinda. Each of the tweeples who tweeted in the tweetmob were sent a message back announcing the launch of Orange flavor campaign & link to visit the FB page for more details thus creating awareness of the campaign & integrating the activity with other social media presence.
