01 — Challenge

Tech buyers don’t trust ads. They trust reviewers.

Smartphone and wearable buyers research hard before they buy, and they listen to creators who actually use the product, not to polished brand claims.

OnePlus trusted The Orange Cup to find those creators and to plan a campaign that would turn their credibility into results for the brand.

02 — Approach

Find. Plan. Measure.

I worked on the campaign from creator discovery through to planning, with every decision tied back to results.

01 Find

Fit over follower count

Shortlisting creators whose audiences were genuinely tech-curious, judged on engagement quality and tone, not just size.

02 Plan

Built around the creator

Briefs, formats and timelines shaped around how each creator already reviews and talks about tech, with the product’s strengths clear but never forced.

03 Measure

Results, not just posts

Tracking reach, engagement and audience response so OnePlus could see what each partnership delivered.

03 — Measuring it

What success looked like.

04 — What I took away

Credibility is the real currency.

01

In tech, an honest creator review outweighs any ad.

02

The right mid-sized creator often beats the wrong big one.

03

Planning the campaign around the creator gets better content and better results.
