Marvel Studios, eBay, HelloFresh and Peacock are Digiday Content Marketing Awards winners

HelloFresh and Marvel Studios are winners of the Best Product Launch Campaign. HelloFresh teamed up with Marvel Studios around ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ before its cinematic release in May 2023. The partnership launched a limited-edition Guardians Snack Adventure kit and a Guardians Recipe Adventure series inspired by the film. Each recipe was themed to members of the beloved band of galactic misfits and took home cooks on a flavorful adventure. The partnership generated excitement and buzz for the HelloFresh brand, boosted brand awareness by tapping into the massive Guardians audience and strengthened brand perception and affinity via the movie’s halo effect.

NBCUniversal’s premium streaming service Peacock won the Best Use of Data category. Peacock leveraged Movable Ink, Braze, PickAxe and mParticle to build a personalized year-in-review campaign focusing on individual viewer engagement. The team wanted to harness its extensive data, showcasing each subscriber’s viewing activity through dynamic creative content, highlighting genres and titles consumed. Compared with the control audience, the target audience saw a 20% decrease in churn rate over 30 days, a 6% higher upgrade rate from free to paid subscriptions and a 2-point lift in return rate to view content on Peacock.
