How DIGIORNO® Pizza Unlocked TikTok Campaign Measurement With CreatorIQ’s Analytics

The Objective: Evaluate the Impact of a First-of-its-Kind TikTok Campaign

To boost brand awareness and loyalty, DIGIORNO® Pizza and its creator agency, Reach Agency, worked with TikTokers like Kyle Exum (@kyleexum), Erin Robinson (@erinrobinson), and Adam Shi (@adamsheey) to develop a dynamic campaign hyping the brand’s frozen pizzas. The playful, creator-led initiative, which saw participants prep DIGIORNO pizzas while dancing to “DiGiorno Made Us Do It,” an original song by Kyle, tested the first use of a custom soundtrack on TikTok for a NESTLÉ brand.

When the “DiGiorno Made Us Do It” campaign kicked off in January 2022, the team was optimistic that it would resonate with audiences and amplify consumer interest in DIGIORNO. However, they knew they would require advanced influencer marketing analytics tools to fully understand the activation’s impact. Beyond monitoring post-level engagement, the team needed to access actionable insights on the TikTok campaign’s overall performance, and monitor its success over time. Additionally, they sought a streamlined, secure system for reporting the campaign’s results. For the full case study click here.

Thanks to its creator-led design and strategic, data-informed execution, the “DiGiorno Made Us Do It” campaign proved an overwhelming success.

TikTok audiences didn’t hesitate to put their stamp of approval on the activation. Because the team put the voices of creators like Kyle at the center of the DIGIORNO campaign, the resulting content resonated authentically with participants’ fans, as well as the TikTok community more broadly. The initiative’s use of original audio attracted particular acclaim, with one TikToker calling the “DiGiorno Made Us Do It” song “a masterpiece.” By harnessing the creativity and passion of TikTok stars with a genuine affinity for its products, the DiGiorno campaign set itself apart from traditional, brand-led promotions: another user commented on Kyle’s video that they had “never seen a better ad.”
