About the campaign

Magnum launched Magnum Bonbons with For You Agency, which put creator taste tests on TikTok and reports 6.5m+ views. Magnum is the brand, and Magnum Bonbons was its new product. The goal was to introduce the product to Gen Z on social media.

The agency started with nano- and micro-creators rather than large influencers. Their taste tests formed the foundation of the campaign. Other people then began creating their own content about the bonbons. In step two, mid-tier creators extended the reach. In the final step, Monica Geuze approved the bonbons as the closing moment of the launch.

The agency reports 6.5m+ views for the campaign. It also reports 224K+ likes. Shares reached 30.5K+.

Case in 60 seconds

Magnum needed to introduce Magnum Bonbons, a new product, to Gen Z on social media, where polished TV commercials and big brands no longer decide what this audience buys.

Gen Z takes food cues from people who feel like friends, because recommendation-driven feeds reward depth of community over follower size, so a small creator's honest taste test carries more weight than celebrity endorsement.

Instead of asking big influencers to set the trend, For You Agency gave culture the first taste, letting small creators start the conversation and only then bringing in larger voices to carry it further.

Nano- and micro-creators posted TikTok taste tests of Magnum Bonbons, which prompted other people to make their own content, while mid-tier creators then amplified reach and Monica Geuze gave the final approval.

For You Agency reports 6.5m+ views, 224K+ likes and 30.5K+ shares for the launch, while no sales, reach or engagement rate figures are given against those counts.

Strategy Breakdown

Gen Z on social media, described as people who share what they eat, wear and do online and who love cute little snacks.
Big brands and polished TV commercials have lost their hold on what Gen Z buys, because trends now start with ordinary people sharing what they eat and wear online.
Magnum stepped back as the speaker and handed the first taste to small creators, so the product entered feeds as something friends were trying rather than something a brand was announcing.
Followers of nano- and micro-creators treat them as friends rather than celebrities, so a recommendation from one of them is engaged with more deeply than a sponsored post from a large account.

Why For You Agency's strategy worked

  1. 1

    Sequencing creators from nano and micro tiers up to mid-tier and a single well-known name lets authentic early posts build credibility before larger accounts widen distribution, so amplification lands on a conversation already running.

  2. 2

    A taste test is a low-effort format that ordinary viewers can copy on their own phones, which is why a launch built on it can turn creator content into audience content without a formal entry mechanic.

  3. 3

    Where feeds recommend content by relevance rather than by who follows whom, follower count stops predicting reach, so planners gain more from choosing creators for how closely their community listens.
