Lieferando achieves numerous media mentions with a digital PR campaign and could thus increase its media presence. But what is the Digital PR campaign’s recipe for success?

Lieferando / Just Eat Takeaway.com is a leading global online food delivery marketplace which focuses on connecting restaurants and consumers via their platform. While based in the Netherlands, it expanded to Germany in 2007, and has been known as Lieferando in Germany ever since. They set the goal of increasing their media coverage via media clippings.
Through a digital PR campaign that focuses on a food Germany adores – the döner – we achieved this goal with no less than 166 clippings, from high-quality sources such as BILD.de. By creating a döner ranking system, a landing page and by using targeted seeding, Lieferando’s döner campaign was a big success.

The challenge

Lieferando wanted to further strengthen their online presence by increasing their media coverage via an increase in media clippings with a special focus of local media coverage. To achieve this goal, we created a digital PR campaign that would spark the interest of as many Germans possible. Our digital PR team looked for a topic that would be relevant to the food industry as well as the German public.

At the same time, the topic needed to be current and newsworthy, to increase the chances of media coverage. That newsworthy topic was the rise in prices due to increased inflation. The team asked themselves, what is something that many Germans cannot live without? The answer? The döner!

There is no German who does not know what a döner is. Huge amounts of döner are consumed each year and it has become an integral part of the culture, just like beer. There are even rumors döner originated in Berlin. Something so important must, of course, remain affordable to eat. With the ever-increasing cost of living, our team wondered what the average price of a döner is nowadays. But most importantly, which city is The Döner Capital of Germany?

The solution

  • Development and conception of a content marketing campaign
  • Research and compilation of a trustworthy data set
  • Content and technical implementation and development of a landing page
  • Creation of appealing visualizations
  • Targeted distribution of content (seeding)

The implementation

Before starting the research of the döner campaign, our team wondered what exactly would make a city the döner capital of Germany. They decided to research the number of döner restaurants per 1000 inhabitants, the average reviews of these restaurants and the average döner price.

The digital PR team started off by researching the 30 cities with the largest population. From these 30 cities, 10 were selected based on the amount of kebab restaurants, identified via Google Maps.

After analyzing the created data set, a ranking system was created. This revealed that even though the rumors state that the döner comes from Berlin, Dresden is the döner capital. With the highest average döner reviews, the most döner restaurants per 100.000 inhabitants, and scoring second place with cheapest döner, Dresden received the highest score in the overall ranking.

The team created a visually appealing landing page, with appropriate visualizations. The research was especially interesting for the cities mentioned in the rating, so different press releases were specifically created for local journalists. At the same time, the campaign was also interesting for food and lifestyle magazines, like BuzzFeed, and our press releases were adapted to match them as well.

After the campaign was launched, Lieferando soon saw an increase in high quality media clippings from well-known and relevant news sites such as T-online, Zeit Magazine, and Berliner Zeitung. It was even featured on the front pages of Bild and the print copy of the Dresdner Morgenpost. In total, the campaign received 166 clippings and the average domain rating of the online clippings was no less than 70.52.
