INFLUENCER CAMPAIGN

Chevron Lubricants aimed to shift the commodity mindset around engine oil and raise awareness about its impact on operational performance. In collaboration with Marketbridge, the company developed a social-first video campaign that balanced entertainment and education to avoid overwhelming their audience with technical details.

Key Elements:

  • Focused on three key areas affected by engine oil: Durability, reliability, and efficiency.
  • Targeted LinkedIn and Facebook, using a roundtable discussion format to make technical content relatable and engaging.
  • Influencer Bryan Furnace (Diesel & Iron) hosted the discussion, leveraging his credibility as a heavy equipment operator and established YouTube presence to boost authenticity.

Campaign Phases:

  1. Phase 1: Teased the video series through social posts.
  2. Phase 2: Released 16 posts with thought-provoking questions, driving traffic to a content hub featuring the roundtable videos.
    • Content was repurposed into snackable formats to extend reach.

The campaign effectively used influencer-led conversations to inform and inspire the audience while maintaining credibility and clarity.

THE RESULTS

The roundtable conversational video series garnered 435K views and 4M impressions at 1/3 the cost of the CPM benchmark.
