Mead Johnson Nutrition's Best Starts Campaign

2012 was a special year for Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN) Philippines, the company behind top brands Lactum 3+ & 6+ and Enfakid A+.  Aside from celebrating 50 years of nourishing Filipino children for the best start in life with its 50 Best Starts Project (a series of programs and initiatives for the marketplace and the community), Mead Johnson also embarked on a number of trailblazing initiatives in the digital space. 

Following the successful launch of the Lactum Facebook Page (now with 325k fans),  MJN Philippines launched its first ever Corporate Campaign on Facebook - The Book of Best Starts. The name is consistent with the company mission which is to nourish the world's children for the best start in life. This is a page where moms and dads alike share their children's photos of Best Starts. 

The campaign on Best Starts last year appealed to proud Filipino parents who were only too happy to share their children’s photos with the rest of the world. The Facebook Community developed a large following shortly after its launch, generating 55k fans in just 6 weeks. It received over 1,000 entries submitted by parents all over the country. Mead Johnson Philippines partnered with prominent social news network, Rappler.com which created buzz in social media by driving conversations on #Best Starts. Netizens were very much engaged that the hashtag #BestStarts became a trending topic on Twitter in the Philippines.

Aimed to create awareness for the Mead Johnson Nutrition corporate brand and its mission to nourish the world’s children for best start in life, The Book of Best Starts was a refreshing and creative innovation driven by MJN Philippines’s Digital and Corporate Brand Equity Manager Bim Gutierrez.

The success of the campaign showcased MJN’s ability to effectively reach out to moms and dads in the digital sphere. It was also proof that more and more Filipino parents are engaged in social media, given the clamor for a re-run of the campaign.
