26.07 was inaugurated website www.rexona-deo.ru a presentation. 31.07 and 1.08 was carried out online newsletter to promote the site. The presentation is a continuation of our communication strategy, together with a roller «Tattoo» and other creative materials ("Do not let the smell of sweat is not for you to put the stamp"). The main goal - to coerce women to use more deodorant.
This presentation we would like to draw consumers' attention to the problem of odor. What problem does exist, it was confirmed that among other things, the size of the Russian market of deodorants, as well as an extremely low rate of growth. This is all the more surprising that a whole culture of consumption goods for personal care (cosmetics) in Russia is very high: deodorants are the exception to the rule.
Unilever has invested heavily in research of consumer preferences in product development. It is equally important to note that Rexona attaches great importance to the development of the market of deodorants, not just "redistribution" of shares in an existing market. It is this task - the disclosure of some facts about deodorants in order to develop the market of deodorants and stood in front of the agency developed this presentation.
It is important that the tattoo of a pig was used in television commercials and other creative materials of the campaign, the pig in this case is a metaphor for an unpleasant smell, and in any case should not draw parallels between the tattoo and the woman who does not use deodorant. By the way, like a metaphor - a fairly common advertising tool.
This kind of campaign with the publication of these studies were conducted in the several countries, such as Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, and were perceived quite positively.
The video and the whole creative idea «Tattoo» Tattoo with a pig as a metaphor odor, have been developed by advertising agency Lowe GGK, Budapest.
We were ready for that event will cause some resonance because aware that the theme of the smell of sweat is a kind of "taboo" and the perceived rather badly. But we were surprised by such a violent reaction. We do not link the information provided to the insult of national dignity.
The site was closed due to the beginning of a new phase of the campaign with the participation of Zhanna Friske. The video on the air since 04.08.07
