Millions of users. Millions of reasons.
And we want to hear everyone of them

IQOS allows LAUs to immerse themselves in the things they love. They feel
proud of the changes they have made and there inevitably comes a defining
moment that makes them realise: this is why I use IQOS.

The TOGETHER. FORWARD. brand campaign is a celebration of these


moments, big and small. It is a promise from our brand to LAS and LAU
that those emotional rewards can be theirs, with IQOS as their companion.

But it is not for us to write our users’ stories. We are inspired by them, and
they in turn are inspired by each other.

In hearing and sharing these stories, together we can help LAS make the
switch to IQOS and promote advocacy with our LAUs.

Why User Generated Content (UGC)?
We already have a community of IQOS users who are proud to share their loyalty and passion for our brand and
products. Why is it important to cultivate and nurture this direct relationship with those who are willing to share
their IQOS stories with us?

Selecting initial content
You will need between 25-30 pieces of initial content (written testimonials
and images) to be used in launch communications, before you have captured
any new UGC from this activation.

Typically we recommend a split of 8-10 user testimonials and 15-20


previously submitted user pictures (can be either with people or device only
depending on your market archetype).
Other market examples
On slides 78-81 you can find our selection of content we’d recommend you
use. This is of course subject to your own market specificities and you are
free to select other pieces that would fit your market better, as long as you

Keep your community engaged
Once the campaign has been introduced to IQOS users, you should continue the dialogue by proposing to your
IQOS community a series of diverse briefs on specific themes relevant to your market. They should reflect on what has
changed when they switched from continued smoking to IQOS, and how they can help LAS’s  who would otherwise
continue to smoke to switch.

These additional activations can be found in the UGC section of the social media toolbox.
