01/ Situation

nemlig.com is by far Denmark’s leading online retailer and has successfully established its position by offering the Danes a simple, convenient way to get their groceries delivered directly to their door. Between work, family and friends many of us find ourselves running out of time. The last thing we want to do is spend half an hour or more each day planning meals, shopping groceries and queuing before facing the prospect of slaving away in the kitchen. nemlig.com’s offer is therefore a strong one – particularly attractive among families with children and younger couples.

02/ Challenge

Despite a strong brand position, new players frequently enter the market and traditional grocery stores are found on every street corner, still accounting for a significant proportion of consumer grocery sales and buying behaviour. With this in mind, nemlig.com wanted to attract customers that hadn’t yet opted for online grocery shopping while increasing customer loyalty and retention among the existing ones.

To do so, nemlig.com wanted to communicate one of its main strengths; offering the Danes an easier way to shop for groceries, saving them time in their hectic lives. It was essential that the new communication concept was able to resonate both as a higher brand promise as well as tactical messaging highlighting product benefits and sub-concepts such as meal boxes, delivery options and a wide organic selection.

03/ Solution

It’s clear that many Danes lack time, wellbeing and happiness in their ever more hectic daily lives. In fact, a recent study shows that by buying groceries online consumers stand to save up to three hours every week. It was clear to nemlig.com that this should be the focus of the new communication concept and accompanying campaigns; that nemlig.com provides the Danes with what they are crying out for – more time – to focus on what really matters.

What would you do with more time?
With an extra three hours a week you could do a lot; destress with a run, read to your kids, indulge in a favourite hobby or simply slouch on the sofa. In essence, you get more time for all the valuable things – and the best thing is that you get to decide what you want to do with the extra time that nemlig.com gives you. The creative idea centres on this insight, articulated through the communication concept: “Mere tid til livet”.

An influencer driven kick off
Launching the new communication concept for nemlig.com a fresh, contemporary tonality presented the authentic lives of three key Danish influencers, all with children, demanding careers and a desire for more time during everyday life. Silas Holst, Le Gammeltoft and Ditte Julie Jensen were ideal ambassadors for nemlig.com and were all keen on giving an insight into their personal lives, helping convey the message in a reliable and relatable way.

Emotionally driven – tactically executed

The concept was translated into an extensive, emotional and impactful campaign that could support the brand promise while helping sales with three different, personal stories providing a wealth of content. These were rolled out on TV-spots, the website, social media, banner marketing, engaging content created by the three influencers and a range of other campaign elements across all brand touch points.

An emotional message at Christmas

While most retailers use Christmas to communicate products and sales, nemlig.com wanted to remind Danes to find the time for the special moments that stay with you forever. This was a natural development of the concept “Mere tid til livet”. In order to do this, nemlig.com together with Sunrise started a campaign searching all over Denmark for Christmas home videos – memories caught on camera. From the hundreds of videos received online, selected videos made it to the nation-wide TV commercial and accompanying social media content with the message to spent time on what’s most important in life.
