Case in 60 seconds

Cellarbrations wanted buzz and talkability around its Spin to Win competition, and the goal was to increase entries across Australia through Meta platforms, so the content had to feel native to social while driving performance.

The campaign appears to turn on the observation that consumers engage with social content reading as entertainment rather than advertising, because creator-led content can make a branded competition feel organic and worth entering.

The organizing thesis was to use creators as trusted messengers who could capture attention in the feed and motivate action, turning scrolls into clicks and clicks into entries.

Fabulate partnered Cellarbrations with eight micro-influencers across Facebook and Instagram, each producing performance-optimised content for Meta's algorithms in short, dynamic formats built around the Spin to Win experience and driving traffic to the competition site.

Fabulate reports 239K total views, 325K+ impressions and 8K+ total ad clicks, with a 4.25% engagement rate and a 3.44% CTR, and over 7,500 quality entries generated within four weeks.

Strategy Breakdown

The primary strategy-learning section — interpretation, not a press-release summary.

Consumers across Australia who could be encouraged to enter the Spin to Win competition through Meta platforms, reached through the existing audiences of eight micro-influencers on Facebook and Instagram.
Based on the available evidence, the tension sits between a feed consumers treat as entertainment and a promotion that needs them to act, so the work had to earn attention rather than interrupt for it.
Alcohol retail sets a low bar for engagement, with the page citing a 0.8% alcohol industry benchmark, which suggests a competition in this category starts from an audience that scrolls past most category advertising.
Cellarbrations reads as the prize giver rather than the narrator, since the Spin to Win mechanic was carried in creator voices while the brand supplied the competition and the site that collected the entries.

Why Fabulate's strategy worked

  1. 1

    Competition mechanics appear to benefit from creator distribution, because a prize draw delivered by a familiar account reads as an invitation to play rather than as a placement asking for a click.

  2. 2

    Micro-influencer rosters suit performance briefs, since eight creators building for Meta's algorithms gave the campaign a spread of audiences while keeping each piece of content native to its own feed.

  3. 3

    Benchmark framing carries the argument here, because the reported 4.25% engagement rate and 3.44% CTR are set against a 0.8% alcohol industry figure and a 1.3% branded content figure rather than left to stand alone.
