#iRemember… not only an amazing experience, but also an experiment joining Com Fu, Barista Espresso and the Online Community!
With Social Media falling gradually into the trap of Traditional Media, a disruption of the routine was needed.
For this purpose, a Social Experiment was devised by moving content creation from the Brand to the People and creating the first CSR campaign for Barista Espresso.
This gave birth to a 360 degree activation on Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, where people contributed through the different Social Media Platforms in support of the Alzheimer’s Association of Lebanon.
