Zooming in to PGI's Beauty Campaign
- Visitors can vote for the favourite candidate
Panasonic Gobel Indonesia held a five month campaign dedicated to discovering talent among the younger female generation in Indonesia through their Zoom in Beauty Contest.
Using Facebook as the medium for the contest, PGI's fanpage was able to explore direct communication with target consumers for its LUMIX cameras and Kurukuru hair curling irons.
After initiating the contest in September, 2010, the fanpage received an overwhelming 1491 registered contestants. This number was than narrowed down in several stages based not only by style but also wisdom, talent, creativity,and ability to express themselves through the use of Panasonic products in self-portraits and videos. (See their videos at PGI's homepage)
During these various stages, fans of the PGI Facebook page were invited to be directly involved by voting on their favourite canditates as well as freely discussing and asking questions about the Panasonic products associated with the contest. This successful use of SNS has helped PGI engage and promote Panasonic to the younger Indonesian generation.
On February 11, 2011, the contest was taken to its finale and three finalists were chosen as the winners, after careful consideration from professional model Sigi Wimala and professional photographer and founder of Jerry Aurum Design Company and Photography, Jerry Aurum as well as Santi Turino from PGI.
