Garnier uses humor to engage its consumers
Mexico
With the campaign #YoSudoCuando, the Brand generated conversations around embarrassing situations when people sweat.
The Brand
Garnier is one of the main beauty brands in Mexico. As part of the LâOrĂ©al Group â one of the worldâs leading beauty companies â Garnier combines innovative technology and natural ingredients in a wide range of skin and hair products
Challenge
The brand wanted to reach a new audience on Twitter with the launch of the brandâs official account @garniermx and develop a multi-channel campaign around the benefits of its Bi-o Protection5 product.
Solution
How does a beauty brand communicate product benefits to Mexican youth?
The brand used Promoted Accounts to establish and spread the word about its presence on Twitter. To reach the right users, the Promoted Account was targeted by @usernames related to relevant sports teams, singers and celebrities.
To amplify its message, organize conversations and achieve massive reach, @garniermx launched a Promoted Trend with the hashtag #YoSudoCuando. It supported the trend with Promoted Tweets targeted by interests like fashion, beauty and technology featuring original content. The content described real-life situations users could relate to like the end of a big soccer match, and encouraged them to share their own experiences.
@garniermx monitored the user-generated stories that included the #YoSudoCuando hashtag and identified common experiences shared by users to create a video.
