Be a Real Bull.
It is an attitude to life.
The new century has presented young people with more opportunities to fullfill themselves. In the face of these opportunities, they are always determined to build an era on their own terms. They have fought in the eSport games and have finally made it an Olympic Game. In the past, only stars were shining, but now young people create their own stars through their own efforts… With enthusiasm and unremitting faith, they break the mold through youthpower.
The road to success is not always as easy as expected, but they are fearless, without limits on themselves, and are actively challenging all kinds of impossibilities. They have a spirit of adventure and an endeavour to fight, which is consistent with the "Real Bull Spirit" advocated by TCP RedBull.
Break the tribes and engage with the young audience to enhance brand awareness
The younger generation who grow up under favorable material conditions expect to get a greater sense of belonging through their peers. Through hobbies, they get to meet friends and find their own tribe.
Based on the public awareness of each hobby tribe, scale of users and the maturity of economic operation scale, it can be divided into ‘niche tribe’, ‘rising tribe’ and ‘popular tribe’. Among them, fans, ACG (anime, comic and game), sports (fashion shoes, eSports), and traditional Chinese style have entered the public vision from the initial niche market. The audience scale has gradually expanded and formed a relatively mature and stable economic operation industrial chain. In the era of the tribe economy, consumers are more willing to believe in word-of-mouth communication within the community, pay more attention to the subjective feelings of personal experience, and are more willing to pay for products with personality, characteristics and creativity as well as quality.

To better communicate with young audiences in TCP RedBull brand’s “Real Bull” marketing campaign, we have gathered together four outstanding people from different tribes and teamed up as “Real Bull Alliance”. By showing their characteristics, we have defined the "Real Bull Spirit” advocated by RedBull brand, and we have built a series of “virus", "content", "interactive fissionability" marketing solutions.

Advertising is the moment when the brand is encountered by the consumer, and the expression that touches the hearts of the target audience. The brand should be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, while also key is how it fits the mind of the target audience. Today's young audience, however, is always attracted by the appearance first while staying loyal to the product.
For the younger consumer groups, the factors that affected the priority of FMCG purchase are: word of mouth > product > price. Amongst other things, word of mouth includes the pursuit of brand concept and appearance, and the core should be still the quality. With the credibility of the four RedBull spokespersons, we hope to enhance the brand awareness of TCP RedBull and build a good reputation for RedBull Vitamin Flavor Drink in different tribes through this first marketing campaign for RedBull.
TCP RedBull “Real Bull” marketing campaign has just launched, and we will have more exciting events to follow. Stay tuned!

- UPDATE -
One day after the project was launched, we’ve got some surprising results:
The series of videos views: 31.08 million
The hashtag page of Weibo views: 280 million
