In addition, Viva has also been recognised for its “Tap to Unwrap” digital campaign post on Facebook, originally launched on Instagram during the company’s fourth anniversary celebrations, resulting in over 13,000 interactions.

Viva has established a wide presence on social and digital platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin and Google +. Viva recently introduced Snapchat (viva_bh) as a new channel to communicate with the wider community using photos and recorded videos.

Viva’s brand leadership in social media has been achieved through an innovative digital approach that has been successful in allowing us to engage in fun and creative ways with our customers.”
