Nissan One of the first brands to elicit UGC for Instagram videos for the brand’s newly redesigned Versa
Note. Users asked to submit creative videos highlighting how the car integrates into their lives. The
top 3 videos will be integrated into the ad creative for the major launch campaign this fall.

was originally intended only for Vine.

• emotional connections (Ben & Jerry’s)
• lifestyle (Burberry & Armani)
• experiential/sponsored content (Red Bull)
2. Drive business results

3. Create fan value with both contest rewards and ongoing fan
recognition programs (Red Bull, Ben & Jerry’s)
