Greenpeace vs Nestlé Kit Kat
A study in social media influence
Kit Kat Greenpeace Palm Oil
lobbying
Greenpeace - Kit Kat Palm Oil lobbying
• 17th March 2010 - UK Greenpeace posted a gory parody video of the
standard Kit Kat – Take A Break ad, showing an office worker gnawing on
an orangutan’s finger instead of a Kit Kat bar, and the tag line “Kit Kat
Killer”
• The aim was to get Nestlé to stop buying unsustainable palm oil from Sinar
Mas, a global supplier that was destroying the south east Asian rainforests
where orangutan’s were being threatened
• The campaign took off globally, with many people posting boycott Kit Kat
messages on Twitter, YouTube and Facebook.
• The Nestlé Facebook page was overrun with people begging Nestlé to stop
using palm oil and killing the orangutans. Nestlé deleted the messaging and
responded with angry comments faced additional backlash for handling
their social badly
• Greenpeace globally used other peaceful demonstrations on and offline
• By 20th May 2010, only 10 weeks later, Nestlé announced it would stop
sourcing the unsustainable palm oil, a huge victory for Greenpeace and
social networking
Greenpeace takes 33% of the conversation

KitKat Nestlé & Greenpeace Learnings
• Greenpeace campaign succeeded in taking down the sentiment of KitKat to
an extremely low level
• Nestlé gave fuel to the campaign by having the YouTube video banned
initially, causing international news services to pick it up, and giving the
campaign oxygen (it went viral soon after)
• Nestlé did not pro-actively respond using any social media, instead deleted
Facebook comments and posted angry status updates around the use of the
Nestlé logo by people within Facebook who wanted to bring awareness to
the Greenpeace campaign, which caused even more uproar
• Nestlé failure in social and its lack of social crisis management contributed
significantly in Greenpeace success in the social campaigning
• Two Australian specific tactical campaigns for KitKat - Desk Jockey and
Take Back Time were launched early June to combat the negative impact of
Greenpeace on the brand, but did not get enough traction to offset the
overall decrease in brand sentiment until well after the capitulation of
Nestlé
