CJ CheilJedang's health-focused meal campaign, Jeil Easy Meal, is spreading rapidly on social media, recording a cumulative 50 million views just 20 days after its launch. The short-form video content released on YouTube and Instagram on the 10th of last month surpassed that milestone in only 20 days.
Jeil Easy Meal is a digital marketing campaign that offers simple and convenient meal solutions to consumers tired of misleading health information. It brings together Health and Wellness product lines such as CJ Hetbahn Cooked Mixed Grain Rice, bibigo grilled fish, The Healthy Chicken Breast, and Balance Meal under one campaign.
Campaign featuring Kangaroo character Mr. Kang and Shin Hae-sun The campaign stars the muscular kangaroo character Mr. Kang and actor Shin Hae-sun. In each episode, Mr. Kang appears after smashing through a wall while wearing a taekwondo uniform, correcting false health information and suggesting healthy meals suited to each situation.
Despite the flood of health information, the campaign draws strong consumer empathy by turning everyday situations into episodes that make meal planning difficult in practice. Consumers responded by saying, "It captured exactly the situations where there was so much hearsay about health that I did not know what to believe," and "The scene where products come out of the kangaroo pouch is funny and original."
Fastest pace among the company's digital marketing campaigns Jeil Easy Meal is generating high view counts at the fastest pace among CJ CheilJedang's digital marketing campaigns to date. It is moving even faster than the Beksul 1-Minute Ring Broth Couple Campaign, which surpassed 100 million cumulative views in three months last year.
Naver search volume for the campaign's key categories, including CJ Hetbahn Cooked Mixed Grain Rice, bibigo grilled fish, and The Healthy Chicken Breast, rose by an average of about 200% from the same period in the previous month. Since the 11th, when the content began to spread in earnest, consumer interest in the related products has expanded sharply.
Double-digit sales growth and 70 billion won in cumulative sales The buzz has also translated into actual sales. The product lines included in Jeil Easy Meal posted double-digit year-on-year sales growth in total after the content went live, and their cumulative sales for this year reached 70 billion won.
Bibigo Salmon Steak, introduced late last year, surpassed 700,000 cumulative units sold in less than five months after launch, helped by the campaign's impact. Mr. Kang also expanded offline consumer touchpoints by handing out CJ Hetbahn Cooked Mixed Grain Rice to college students and office workers in Sangam-dong and Sinchon on the 23rd and 27th of last month.
Plans to further strengthen consumer-friendly digital marketing CJ CheilJedang has continued to roll out creative digital marketing campaigns that can go viral on social media, from last year's Sseup Kimchi to the Beksul 1-Minute Ring Broth Couple Campaign and the 10-Minute Cook Microwave Ranger. This year, starting with Jeil Easy Meal, the company plans to further strengthen consumer-friendly digital marketing.
A CJ CheilJedang official said, "The Jeil Easy Meal campaign was designed with the goal of helping Health and Wellness move beyond a simple trend and take root more deeply in consumers' daily lives." The official added, "We will continue to expand our related product lineup and lead a healthier home-cooked meal culture."
