How we engaged the EyeEm Community Around Huawei’s P9 Launch

The partnership: EyeEm x Huawei

The challenge:

With the aim of reaching and engaging a diverse range of photographers around the launch of the Huawei P9 – their flagship smartphone co-engineered with Leica – Huawei wanted to tap into EyeEm’s creative community as a means of elevating their new product and striking up a global conversation with their intended audience.

How we did it: Five Missions

The Huawei P9 and its Leica-branded dual lenses were brought into focus through five distinct Missions, harnessing the creativity of our 18 million-strong photography community. By utilizing the breadth of our communication channels, we were able to effectively cross-promote the Huawei P9 – and reach the right audience throughout.

The results: Freshly sourced photography

“Cross-promoting with EyeEm’s huge community was invaluable and allowed us to engage directly with our intended audience – we were amazed at the number and quality of submissions!
– Bianca Spada, Global Senior Digital Marketing Manager – Huawei Technologies
