In partnership with Nextdoor, Traeger launched the Traegerhood campaign founded on support, kindness, fun, and flavor. The campaign on Nextdoor aimed to find the friendliest Traegerhoods in the country and reward them with Traeger giveaways. Geo and HHI targeted Sponsored Posts directed members to a custom Nextdoor-built submission site where neighbours could share why their neighbourhood is the most neighbourly. Four submissions were chosen over four months to win a Traeger pack (grill, cover, pellets, sauces, and rubs) and a private virtual cooking class with a Traeger Pitmaster. Submission stories were also used in Sponsored Post creative, to inspire and encourage other neighbours to submit.
The Traegerhood campaign on Nextdoor inspired neighbuors to share their neighbourhood stories with over 900 submissions. Brand sentiment increased from 50% at the start of the campaign to above 75% at the end. Searches of Traeger on Nextdoor increased 199% and mentions of Traeger increased 69% amongst those who were exposed to the campaign, further proving the success of the program at changing member behavior and in turn amplifying Traeger's organic presence on Nextdoor. The campaign is a Gold Winner of the 2021 MarCom Award. The campaign is a Gold Winner of the 2022 Muse Creative Award.
"The entire team at Traeger was blown away by the performance of our Traegerhood campaign with Nextdoor. Over 900 people submitted amazing stories about helping others and neighborhood togetherness. From day one, the team at Nextdoor really understood our goals and were able to execute quickly to help us optimize the campaign as we got data back. We believe that neighbors who pitch in, share food, or even just BBQ together are a perfect fit for the Traegerhood. Glad to see so many of these families were already using Nextdoor!"
