How HCL used social media to connect with parents and
adults to promote the ME CHAMP TABLET
THE CHALLENGE
Parents (especially whose kids are in school)
have a general discomfort with allowing their

kids free access to gadgets and the web
Our task was to find a way to involve them in a
conversation and help ease some of their
concerns
THE OPPORTUNITY
One of the most potent conversation
starter for any new age parent is to discuss
ways of better parenting

In our case we triggered the conversation
by discussing parenting issues pertaining
to hazards of technology, privacy and
gadgets amongst other topical issues
OUR STRATEGY
A COMING TOGETHER OF THREE KEY ELEMENTS

Right Context
(Parenting in the

digital age)

Right Time
(Children’s Day)

Right Place
(Social Media
Channels)
