The ask — launch asset carrying the campaign line and the single instruction

Client overview

MoFaya is a proudly South African energy drink brand with a national retail footprint and a following of roughly 105 000 on Facebook and 56 000 on Instagram. The brand plays in one of the most crowded, most globally dominated categories on the shelf — and holds its position by being unmistakably local.

TDA was appointed on a campaign basis rather than a standing retainer: MoFaya briefs specific moments in the calendar, and we take them end to end. Women’s Month was one of those moments.

The Brief

Nothing was broken. That’s worth saying plainly, because most case studies open with a rescue.

MoFaya came to us with a calendar moment and a deadline: build and run an August campaign for Women’s Month across Facebook and Instagram. No brand crisis, no failing account, no rebuild. A brief.

Which makes the brief harder, not easier. Women’s Month is the single most contested moment on the South African brand calendar. Every brand posts. Most post the same thing — a flower, a soft-focus portrait, a line of gratitude, a hashtag — and the entire category becomes visual wallpaper for thirty-one days. The audience has seen it every August of their adult lives, and they scroll past it.

So the real problem to solve was this:

The risk with a Women’s Month brief isn’t failure. It’s invisibility — posting something perfectly acceptable that nobody reacts to, in the one month the whole category is shouting.

Our Disruptive strategy

We started from a single observation: brands spend Women’s Month talking about women. Almost none of them let women talk.

So we built the campaign around a question instead of a statement — and handed the answer to the audience.

What we did

  1. Ran a research and landscape pass on how the category and the wider market handle Women’s Month — the recurring visual clichés, the language everyone reaches for, and where the audience had already gone numb.
  2. Set the campaign line: She Did That. Past tense, no permission asked, no sentiment attached. It credits an achievement rather than praising a demographic — which is a different and far less comfortable thing for a brand to do.
  3. Built the mechanic around a nomination rather than a broadcast. The launch asset carried one instruction: drop her name and what she did. The brand asked the question and then got out of the way.
  4. Tied the campaign to a real product truth rather than a borrowed one. MoFaya Vita C + Zinc — 500mg, zero caffeine — supported the line “support for the woman already winning.” The product isn’t the hero of her story; it’s in her hand while she gets on with it.
  5. Designed the full creative set in the brand’s own visual language — hard light, high contrast, the red handwritten script against clean white type — so the campaign looked like MoFaya rather than like a Women’s Month template with a logo dropped on it.
  6. Managed the community actively through the nomination window, holding the conversation open and collecting the responses as they came in rather than letting the post go cold.
  7. Closed the loop publicly. We turned the audience’s submissions into the campaign’s biggest creative moment — a published set of cards naming real women and the specific thing each of them did. The audience wrote the campaign; the brand printed it.
  8. Scheduled and published the full sequence across both platforms through the Women’s Day window, then reported on performance against the previous period.

Results

MoFaya’s Women’s Month campaign didn’t just get seen — it got a response. Measured over 14 July – 12 August 2026, with campaign content live from 3 August and figures drawn from Meta’s own platform reporting, the campaign delivered:

  • A total reach of 182.4K and 6.4K engagements, with a single post pulling 4.2K reactions — and 347 new followers added across both platforms off campaign content alone.
  • Comments rose faster than any other metric on both platforms — up 811% on Facebook and 2 150% on Instagram. The nomination mechanic moved exactly the metric it was built to move.
  • Shares up 714% on Facebook meant the campaign travelled beyond the brand’s own following — people put it in front of the women it was about.
  • Engagement outpaced reach in percentage terms — the healthier direction of the two: the audience didn’t just see more, they did more.
  • The follow-up post publishing the audience’s nominations reached 103.1K on Facebook — the widest reach of any post in the period — and the Vita C + Zinc product post landed the highest engagement rate of the set at 11%.

A Women’s Month post that gets likes is a formality. One that gets comments, shares and names is a conversation — and that is the whole difference between being in the month and being part of it.

The Campaign in Market

Deliverables

Spark Campaign Management & Execution — two campaigns. Per campaign:

  • Campaign strategy, planning and giveaway mechanics
  • Creative design of campaign feed post (1) and story assets (2–3)
  • Copywriting for captions, calls-to-action and giveaway mechanics
  • Social media scheduling and publishing
  • Community management — comments and direct messages during the campaign period, within business hours
  • Winner selection support and announcement
  • Campaign recap and performance reporting

The TDA Difference

We didn’t make a Women’s Month post. We built a mechanic that made the audience the author.

What made this different:

  • Strategy before design. The research pass told us what the category was going to do in August, and the campaign was built specifically to not be that.
  • We asked instead of announced. A question invites a reply; a statement invites a scroll. The comment volume is the proof.
  • We closed the loop in public. Most campaigns collect responses and stop. Publishing real names back as finished creative is what turned a post into a moment — and gave the audience a reason to share it.
  • The product stayed in its lane. Vita C + Zinc supported the message without claiming credit for anyone’s achievement, which is where most brand campaigns in this space lose the room.
  • It looked like MoFaya. Same hard light, same red script, same confidence — not a seasonal template with a logo applied.
