Clear has always been a sport driven brand with Cristiano Ronaldo as the brand ambassador. For the first time, Clear launched a new shampoo variant, Clear Legend CR7, that is co-created with Cristiano Ronaldo. We wanted to create awareness about the new variant & use Cristiano to engage with the audience to collect first party data by creating engaging executions & appealing, relevant incentives.

With football being the most popular sport in Egypt & Cristiano Ronaldo, the face of Clear, being one of the top followed & loved players, Clear decided to give its audience a new creative, fun and engaging competition with a very tempting incentive (gold plated Clear Shampoo trophies signed by CR) that will drive our audience to take part of the campaign. Wanting to create buzz and engagement about the new co-created variant, we worked on an engaging AR IG filter that featured trivia questions about CR where after each question you answer you get a playful/fun message that shows if your answer was correct or not. Then, at the end the user will get a percentage score of how much they know CR and an image of themselves holding the gold shampoo trophy. We also collaborated with the top sports & football influencers to use the filter and announce

Clear, being a football driven brand, combined CR’s iconic popularity in Egypt and the audience’s sense of competitiveness to drive high engagement by creating a fun, challenging AR filter on Instagram that had trivia questions about CR to test who knows him better. The execution is a fun, entertaining one that fits IG’s lighthearted essence & our target audience who are Males 20+ who are Football Lovers, Tech Junkies and Gamers. To take it up a notch & to ensure effectiveness of the competition, Clear offered their target audience a chance to win a gold-plated Clear Shampoo trophy signed by CR. To further amplify the buzz, we chose top sports & football influencers on Instagram & YouTube who had fun, dynamic, active, witty personalities to use the IG AR filter & encourage their followers to do the same and to fill in the lead forms

Clear CR7 launched the creative AR filter to stay indefinitely on Instagram for the users to access. The filter featured trivia questions about CR to quiz the users’ knowledge on how much they know CR. We promoted the filter for a month on FB & IG to maximize reach & engagement. We amplified the AR filter and the competition even further by collaborating with 6 of top relevant influencers to use the filter and push their followers to do the same. Each influencer posted stories & posts on IG communicating the Clear CR7 new variant and directing their followers to sign up for the competition and use the filter for a chance to win 1 of 4 gold plated trophies signed by CR out of 200 around the world. Some of the influencers created YouTube content on their channels & Twitter to scale the campaign more.
