New technology changes

Scenario

Launching a new technology campaign can be both exciting and impactful. Here are some creative campaign ideas to consider:

Countdown teasers: Build anticipation by running a countdown teaser campaign across your social media platforms. Release short, intriguing snippets about the new technology, creating excitement and curiosity among your audience.

Virtual Reality (VR) experience: If the new technology involves virtual reality, create an interactive VR experience that allows your audience to get a sneak peek at the technology’s capabilities. This immersive approach can generate buzz and engagement.

User-generated content challenge: Encourage your audience to share their ideas on how they would use the new technology in a creative way. This could be through videos, artwork, or written submissions. Feature the best entries and reward participants.

Beta testing invitation campaign: Invite a select group of loyal customers or enthusiasts to become beta testers for the new technology. Create a campaign around this exclusive opportunity, showing that you value their input in shaping the technology’s final form.

Behind-the-scenes series: Document the journey of creating the new technology through a series of behind-the-scenes videos or blog posts. This provides insight into the development process and builds a connection with your audience.

Influencer showcases: Partner with industry influencers or experts who can provide insights into the benefits and applications of the new technology. Their endorsement can add credibility and broaden your reach.

Live Q&A sessions: Host live Q&A sessions on social media or through a webinar, where your tech experts answer questions about the new technology. This helps clarify doubts and highlights the technology’s unique features.

Interactive webinars or workshops: Organize webinars or workshops that offer hands-on experiences with the new technology. Teach participants how to use it effectively and showcase its potential applications.

Easter egg hunt campaign: Conceal clues or “Easter eggs” related to the new technology on your website, social media, or even in physical locations. Engage your audience in a scavenger hunt, with rewards for those who uncover all the hidden elements.

Innovation showcase event: Host a virtual or physical event to showcase the new technology to stakeholders, customers, and the media. Offer interactive demonstrations, expert talks, and networking opportunities.

Interactive product demos: Create interactive online demos that allow users to explore the technology’s features in a simulated environment. Make it engaging and user-friendly to help potential users understand its value.

Technology explainer videos: Develop a series of short videos that explain different aspects of the technology, from its core functions to its benefits and impact. Use visuals and animations to simplify complex concepts.

Community engagement campaign: Launch a campaign centered around engaging your community in using the new technology for a specific purpose, such as solving a problem or achieving a collective goal.

Gamification: Design a game or challenge related to the new technology that users can participate in. This approach can make the technology more approachable and fun to interact with.

Limited-time offer or pre-order campaign: Offer exclusive discounts or pre-order options for early adopters. This can incentivize people to be among the first to experience the new technology.

When planning your new technology campaign, remember to align it with your target audience’s interests and preferences. Consider incorporating a mix of these ideas to create a comprehensive and engaging campaign that builds excitement around your innovation.

Setup

For this type of campaign, it is likely that there are regular changes but they may or may not be somewhat related. If you want to limit your creation of Microsoft 365 groups, then set these up under a campaign called โ€œTechnology updatesโ€ or something similar. If you have others who you collaborate with on each of these, you might want to set them up as separate campaigns; separate groups to collaborate with other authors work best.

Channels

  • Emails: Targeted audiences based on dynamic distribution email lists to individuals.
  • SharePoint: Technology updates area/IT department site/home site.
  • Viva Engage: Community on technology updates.
  • Teams: Channels specific to early adopters/Champions or internal preview programs.

Campaign objectives

  1. Increase efficiency and productivity of the organization by streamlining processes and reducing errors with the new technology.
  2. Enhance the customer experience and satisfaction by providing faster, easier, and more personalized service.
  3. Improve communication and collaboration with employees, teams, and departments with the new technology.
  4. Foster a culture of innovation and learning.
  5. Achieve competitive advantage and market leadership in new technology.
