Description

As opposed to many other brands beauty pressure to be “perfect”, Young Adults doesn’t look up to brands that shadows their self-identity. This insight became origin the movement, because #Banabak (#Lookatme) stands for showing their true self. By saying “#Lookatme” Youth is calling out for their existence, expressing their selves not by the make-up they wear or private labeled clothes, but with their most plain, genuine and unique side. So, P&G encourages Youth to take a short time for personal care routines and this would be enough to look good or cool. In order the Youth to capture the essence of platform, multiple influencers gathered together, creating a community concept where society of young people sharing similar interests, concerns and needs.

Execution

As the rise of many influencer on Social Media, Young Adults were following them from different mediums. Combining resources of all the local popular influencers together in a united platform was a new method, which wasn’t done by any brand in Turkey before at that time. Also, these influencers were attributed to the brands to create authenticity and harmony. Instead of using TVCs, Youtube specific videos were prepared. The production was in line with the nature of Youtube, influencers’ style and brands’ identity. Also, phases of video series adjusted in the light of Youtube content strategies. In the hero copy, the brand ambassador&influencers physically showed the button where viewers subscribe to the channel, which formed an interactive method of ``Call to Action``. While deciding the context of branded contents, analysis of Google search trends were examined to find the most related, interesting and entertaining topics that Youth is searching for.
