Objective:
‍

Last year, South Africa was captivated by a viral sensation when a rejected Datsun GO car gift set Twitter ablaze, dividing the nation's opinion. Injozi Technology Studio stepped in to transform this into a groundbreaking online showdown.

Approach:
‍

Nissan dropped a Datsun GO in the heart of South Africa, thus initiating the "Twitter Tug of War," and it was up to the people to pull it to their province using tweets. The challenge involved contestants tweeting #GO with specific details about their city and suburb, symbolically pulling the car closer to their homes.

Injozi's technological prowess played a pivotal role in connecting these tweets to an interactive map on the Nissan website, creating an engaging challenge.

Outcome:
‍

Datsun's Twitter Tug of War campaign exemplifies the power of social media in shaping public perception. By leveraging an engaging and interactive challenge, Datsun (with the help of INJOZI) successfully turned a negative incident into a positive and fun-filled experience.

The campaign not only highlighted the popularity of the Datsun GO but also demonstrated the brand's ability to connect with its audience on a personal level. Through innovative social media strategies, Datsun effectively showcased that public sentiment can be positively influenced, even in the face of challenges.
