Description
With the launch of its new brand positioning "Beauty for a Purpose", Avon Brazil decided it
was time to banish any segregation or gender stereotypes from its campaigns.
How the brand did that? By eliminating all kinds of beauty standards that have been
imposed by the media for a long time; by understanding that no beauty product has the
power to change a woman, but to strengthen who she already is; by bringing
representativeness with a plurality of women that actually represent themselves and our
country - the narrative of our campaigns is always linked to the true story of the character.
Execution
We began to watch closely who are the women who have been standing out in Brazil as a
result of their attitude and empowered speech and we brought these women to work along
us. All Avon campaigns portrait this plurality of women and help us keep a linear and fresh
speech: we are constantly exchanging experiences. By working with these women, Avon
learns everyday the importance of giving them a space on the media.
Outcome
A 3307% raise of comments on YouTube; a 1822% raise of shares on YouTube; a 409% raise
of followers on Instagram; 1 billion video views on Facebook and YouTube; a 6 billion raise
of impacts on Facebook and YouTube.
Plus: Avon has become the most searched beauty brand on Google; the number 1 makeup
brand on Facebook; Top of Mind makeup brand in Brazil and was selected twice as case
study for SXSW.
