Challenge
Over the past 5 years, growth in the instant soups category had flattened. With both medium and heavy soup drinkers moving toward lighter consumption. Competing in a mature market, Continental Cup-a-Soup needed to find a way to inspire their existing soup customers to increase their usage to reverse this worrying trend.

By posting uplifting, engaging or entertaining content to the Cup-A-Soup Facebook Page to help them get through the day and inspire them to revive themselves physically with a Continental Cup-a-Soup.
