Strategic Recommendations

(4 actions)
1

Establish TikTok presence immediately

KitKat's TikTok score is 0/100 and TikTok Shop Commerce Score is 0/100, indicating a complete absence from a critical and growing commerce platform.

Launch a brand-owned TikTok Shop and begin seeding product to 5-10 micro-creators this month, focusing on creative 'break' moments or flavor reviews. Inaction means missing the opportunity to build a first-party data channel and engage Gen Z consumers where they are most active.

2

Initiate Google Search campaigns

Google/YouTube shows a 0/100 momentum score and 0 search volume, meaning KitKat is not capturing any online search interest.

Allocate a budget to Google Search Ads targeting 'KitKat flavors' and 'KitKat where to buy' keywords, ensuring brand visibility for existing consumer intent. Without a search presence, potential customers are left to find competitors or abandon their purchase intent.

3

Develop Instagram content strategy

Instagram's 0/100 score indicates a missed opportunity to connect with a highly visual and engaged audience where many food brands thrive.

Commission 3-5 short-form video creators to produce engaging Instagram Reels showcasing KitKat in unique recipes or snack pairings, using relevant food hashtags. Ignoring Instagram means ceding visual storytelling and community building to competitors who actively engage on the platform.

4

Explore Reddit community engagement

Reddit's 0/100 score signifies an untapped platform for direct consumer engagement and identifying passionate brand advocates.

Monitor relevant subreddits like r/snackexchange or r/candy for organic KitKat mentions and identify opportunities for authentic brand interaction, such as AMAs or limited-edition flavor giveaways. Ignoring these communities means missing out on direct consumer feedback and grassroots advocacy.

Action Plan

KitKat's Global Brand Team — needs to urgently develop and execute a comprehensive digital commerce strategy to establish a presence on platforms like TikTok and Amazon, given all current platform scores are 0/100.
Hershey's Marketing Department — should observe KitKat's digital silence as a potential opportunity to further dominate emerging social commerce channels.
Cadbury's Digital Strategy Team — could leverage their existing brand recognition to quickly capture market share on platforms where KitKat has no presence.
Nestlé's Corporate Digital Innovation Unit — needs to evaluate why a major brand like KitKat has zero digital momentum across all tracked platforms.
