During the social media campaign from April-June 2020, 26 posts were published. One post (an illustration about support for patients and doctors) was deleted, because of concerns that the messaging was not completely aligned with the rest of the campaign. Even this post scored remarkably high on all engagement indicators.
Awareness building of proper protective behavior was the primary objective of the campaign. As there was no budget for an impact survey, to gauge message recall, our main indicators for success were reach, impressions and engagement rates of the content.
The social media campaign totaled a healthy 3.5 million reach, 4.3 million total impressions and 160 K total interactions.

Total Interactions The illustrated stay at home Thingyan post, also the first post of the social media campaign, was the most popular post with our audience, with a total of 15.5 K interactions. It was also the post with the highest engagement rate. The post was launched at a time when the country was at high alert and about to go into the Thingyanholiday, with the Thingyan water festival having been cancelled for the first time in history.
The “wear a mask” illustration post was the second best performing post, in terms of interactions: 14.1K in total, followed by “seek medical help if you have symptoms” (12.7K) and the “flattening the curve” graphic post (12.3K).
Average interactions per post: 6,667

The total reach of the social media campaign was 3.5 M.
The TV spot with Zin Myo had the widest reach, with 430.3K. The COVID-19 infographics posted at the beginning of the campaign also reached a large audience: 381.9K. The first video about COVID-19 in Pabedan Township, Yangon, also performed well (347.3K) as did the follow-up Pabedan video (273.5K).
Generally speaking the interest in COVID-related content was highest at the very beginning of the campaign, when drastic measures were taken by the Government. Interest tapered off somewhat later on in the campaign.
