Driving awareness for Björn Borg in Sweden and the Netherlands

Swedish athleisure and underwear brand Björn Borg wanted to increase brand awareness so it came to TikTok to run an upper-funnel campaign in Sweden and the Netherlands.
Björn Borg turned to TikTok and teamed up with no fewer than 100 creators, ranging from micro to mid-range influencers, including @alice.stenlof.
The videos showcased different creators with their own approach to the brand's brief: vlog style content, hauls, gym and lifestyle – all totally native to the platform and with Björn Borg's latest sports collection in focus. Björn Borg then picked up the most engaging and brand-building organic content to be boosted as Spark Ads, setting up the campaign with a video view objective to get eyes on the great creative and increase time spent with their target audience.
Björn Borg's brand presence on the platform reached an all-time high with 20.4 million impressions, a unique reach of 3 million, and 5.4 million video views. Global video views connected to #bjornborg increased by over +600%, and published content talking about #bjornborg increased by +28% after the campaign, compared to the month before.
Björn Borg also beat benchmarks, driven by the creative quality of their campaign. The engagement rate was 66% higher than the benchmark in Sweden and 44% higher in the Netherlands.
In just 30 days, the audience spent nearly 30 thousand hours watching Björn Borg ads.
The campaign was set up as a brand awareness campaign, but Björn Borg still saw a lot of action in the lower parts of the funnel with +1,500 attributed add to cart events.
Entering TikTok with a large number of creators combined with Spark Ads proved to be a huge success for us. By mixing these two approaches, we managed to utilise the authenticity of the creators' content when interacting with the audience, and thanks to the investment in Spark Ads, we reached further and had more accurate data to analyse. We got valuable insights and knowledge on how to continue developing our work on TikTok for future campaigns.
