Migros x Kingfluencers Campaign
Influencer MarketingFor Easter 2024 Kingfluencers cast Migros for the occasion rather than for audience size, briefing 13 food, cooking and family creators with full creative freedom.
About the campaign
Migros is the largest retailer in Switzerland, and Kingfluencers' work for it runs across several brands in the group, including Migusto, M-Budget and Frey. The Easter 2024 campaign documented here sits inside that wider relationship, and Easter presents a specific difficulty: it is a fixed date that every Swiss grocer competes for simultaneously, with broadly the same chocolate, the same decorations and the same four-week window.
The response was to cast for the occasion rather than for audience size. Food, cooking and family influencers were briefed with full creative freedom, which produced festive brunches and menus, decoration projects and baking, all of which are things people were going to do anyway and which happen to require groceries. Thirteen creators, 6 micro, 5 mid-tier and 2 macro, published 46 posts on Instagram and TikTok over the month. The micro-weighted roster is notable, since it favours creators whose audiences plausibly cook rather than those with the largest followings.
The rest of the Migros relationship shows the same instinct for finding an occasion. Dry Migros put the non-alcoholic range, including an alcohol-free gin, into a cocktail-making context. A Migusto event had influencers cook a three-course meal in teams and compete in a blind tasting. An M-Budget activation at Zurich Street Parade ran a Love Mobile through the city and a boat on Lake Zurich, which is access rather than product.

Case in 60 seconds
Easter is a fixed date every Swiss grocer competes for simultaneously, with broadly the same chocolate, the same decorations and the same four-week window.
Differentiation was not going to come from the products, so it had to come from who was holding them and what they were doing with them.
Cast for the occasion rather than for audience size, and let creators show Easter in their own style.

Why Kingfluencers's strategy worked
- 1
Casting food, cooking and family creators rather than the largest available accounts put the products in front of audiences who were going to cook regardless.
- 2
Full creative freedom produced brunches, decorations and baking, all activities that require groceries without needing to argue for them.
- 3
A micro-weighted roster suits an occasion campaign, where the credibility of the person cooking matters more than the size of the following.
- 4
The wider Migros relationship shows the same instinct repeatedly, finding an occasion, whether a cocktail context for the non-alcoholic range, a cooking competition for Migusto, or access at Street Parade for M-Budget.
