The Brief
-
To re-establish Wella Professional’s presence as a market and industry leader
-
To launch its Asian-formulated professional hair colouring range Illumina Color Japan in South East Asia to both trade and media
The Solution
-
We conceptualised a two event campaign - a regional event held in Bangkok, Thailand for Southeast Asia trade and key Thai media followed by a supporting event in Singapore, focused on engaging key opinion leaders, including social media influencers
-
We addressed the challenge of a unfamiliar Japanese ambassador by engaging popular Korean celebrity, Lee Sunmi as Illumina Color Japan brand ambassador in South East Asia.
The Process
-
The regional event welcomed and hosted Thailand-based key media in print, digital and social media channels along with Key Opinion Leaders/ influencers
-
It was also attended by local socialites, Thai TV celebrity Toy Pathompong Reonchaidee and regional influencers including Singapore-based professional footballer, Antoine Viterale and Fashion Stylist Trey Wong.
-
The anchor focus was on creating awareness and elevating the brand through a creative showcase, where 18 models presented creative expressions of Wella’s professional hair colour.
-
We also extended the reach by broadcast through Facebook Live on several regional publications’ Facebook pages.
The Outcome
-
Over 200 guests (almost 100% attendance)
-
Over 200 social media mentions, at least 100,000 video views
-
223 pieces of coverage averaging up to S$ 657,750 in AVE, well over S$1.97M in PR value.
