Case in 60 seconds
Corona was promoting a Sunsets event at the Crown Riverwalk in Melbourne, and TRIBE frames the work as increasing attendance, which made the task one of moving a local audience to a physical location rather than one of raising awareness.
The campaign appears to turn on the pull of the setting rather than the drink, because the brief asks for the Mexican-inspired street food, the live entertainment and the sunset atmosphere before it asks for a Corona in shot.
The organizing thesis was to have Melbourne creators show themselves enjoying a Corona with friends at the Crown Riverwalk, so the event reached their followers as a personal evening out rather than as an event listing.
TRIBE opened a brief to Melbourne influencers, who submitted a sample image and their own fee for selection, then published natural posts of the street food, live entertainment and outdoor atmosphere at the Crown Riverwalk; 27 creator posts ran.
TRIBE reports 27 creator posts reaching 787,559 combined followers, with 15,733 likes and comments, an engagement rate of 2.00% and an average CPE of $0.17 across the campaign.

Why TRIBE's strategy worked
- 1
Asking creators to submit a sample image alongside their fee lets a brand judge fit and price in one decision, which appears to be how TRIBE held the average CPE at $0.17 across 27 creator posts.
- 2
A brief anchored to one venue and one time of day gives every creator the same concrete things to photograph, which reads as the reason the posts carry the event itself rather than the product placed inside it.
- 3
The comments TRIBE prints show audiences replying with intent to visit and with regret at being elsewhere, which suggests event content is judged by whether it reads as attendance rather than as endorsement.
