Webnovel launches its #inyourface challenge and makes a huge sensation

LOS ANGELES, June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 22, Webnovel kicked off its branding campaign #inyourface. This online creative challenge invited users to upload videos recording their reversal stories. This campaign saw over 3.1B video views, with over 1.2M videos submitted to share their own stories.

#inyourface challenge stems from Webnovel's core culture of 'faceslapping'. It's not a violent term but is used to describe people who rely on their hard work and never-say-die attitude before dealing a painful figurative blow to people who once belittled them. In line with Webnovel's brand philosophy of story-telling, users were encouraged to showcase their humorous plot twists in their daily lives and the encouraging true stories of their journey in life.

In this challenge, Webnovel provided an opportunity for users to express their creativity and allowed its branding to build an affinity with a wide range of audiences. To leave a huge impression, one is required to fuse their creativity with an exclusive sticker branding and background music—not simply dancing or lipsyncing. These plot twists impressed users via the novel format in the form of attention-grabbing acts. It showcased the branding integration and diversity in personality. Looking to further engage and tap into Gen Z's creativity, Webnovel's UGC has proven particularly invaluable.
