Influencer marketing, social media giveaways and PR proved a powerful combination in Japan recently with the rollout of an integrated consumer campaign focused on the health and beauty benefits associated with eating macadamias.

Influencer brings taste, health and beauty messaging to life

Rina Ishii is known for her food, health and style content and fans love discovering the details of her healthy daily routine. With her female, health-oriented audience, she was the ideal partner for this Japanese campaign which saw her post an array of beautifully produced and engaging macadamia content.

Rina, who said she loves adding macadamias to her breakfast, shared some of her favourite ways to use macadamias and macadamia oil. Posting video content demonstrating how to make macadamia cream pancakes, she also showed how she uses macadamia oil as a healthy salad dressing. Later in the campaign she shared a video showing how to make macadamia, banana, chocolate and coconut pies.

Her content also explained many of the health benefits of macadamias as proof of why they’re such a valuable addition to a healthy lifestyle.

“Macadamias are gluten-free and have many nutrients that are good for your health and beauty. They’re also recommended as a pre and post workout snack. I have them in trail mix after my morning training,” she said in one post.

Macadamia oil giveaway encourages fan engagement

Macadamia oil has been gaining more attention in Japan recently, helping to drive awareness of its health benefits.

Rina’s content helped to show consumers how easy it is to use macadamia oil in home cooking and introduced some of the benefits it offers.

This messaging was amplified further via two Australian Macadamias social media competitions that offered our fans the chance to win in-shell macadamias with a nutcracker and Nisshin Oillio macadamia oil.

Rina was a key presenter of the event alongside Chef Sakurako Motoo. Together they explained the health and beauty benefits of macadamias while demonstrating their taste and versatility with a selection of sweet and savoury recipes. These included macadamia trail mix, salmon carpaccio with roasted macadamias, macadamia butter and a macadamia dessert pie, with macadamia oil also featuring.

The event captured the attention of 60 Japanese journalists, resulting in macadamia coverage in 17 online news and lifestyle media outlets who collectively have an audience of 138 million unique users (including users outside Japan).

Thank you to everyone involved in bringing this dynamic campaign to life, especially the Australian Macadamias team in Japan.

天氣與果園狀況導致作物預測大幅調整

澳洲的夏威夷果中季作物預測大幅下修,原因是種植者與加工商正面對近年來最困難且難以預測的季節之一。由於天氣持續帶來干擾,目前仍難以準確掌握實際可供應的數量。因此,修正後的預測現在預估產量將落在以 3.5% 水分計算的去殼重量 37,300 至 41,970 公噸之間,(即以 10% 水分計算的去殼重量為 40,000 至 45,000 公噸),低於先前預估的以 3.5% 水分計算的去殼重量 55,960 公噸(以 10% 水分計算為 60,000 公噸)。
