The Story

Ziggo is the largest cable provider in the Netherlands. Its mission is to add fun and joy to consumers’ everyday lives by helping them connect. For King’s Day, the country’s biggest national holiday, Ziggo wanted to take over Snapchat and offer users the most fun way to celebrate: the King's Day Karaoke Lens.

Snapchatters responded enthusiastically, playing with the Lens and sharing it with their close friends to celebrate the most fun day of the year! The King's Day Karaoke Lens was one of the best performing lenses in 2018, in terms of share rate. Generating 4.2 million impressions and one of the highest share rates in the Netherlands in 2018.

The Solution: Lens + Filters

The Lens dressed Snapchatters in a typical fun orange outfit. Then, the karaoke kicks off: the neon sign flickers on, the microphone pulls up and the lyrics start. Luckily, the lyrics are so easy that anyone can sing along to them. This way the Lens brings together friends, young and old, in a fun and experience that celebrates quirky Dutchness.

To complete the takeover, Ziggo ran the very first smart name filter in the Netherlands. The filter automatically populates the user’s name into a festive polaroid design that let Snapchatters share their personal King’s Day & Night Snaps with their friends. The results are: 15% share rate and 14.4 million impressions.
