Description
Sym, the feminine hygiene brand for Santher (a Brazilian Cellulose Manufacturer Company), had a challenge as the 4th brand on the market: to increase its market share by increasing its relevance to the consumer and overcoming a barrier with the retailers. The retailers had some distrust regarding the product due to previous distribution issues that were solved, but had generated a negative pre-disposition to sell the company’s brand.The Sym product line has a teenage feel to it, so Santher decided to play its strength and launch a campaign focused on the 11-24 year-old girls. In order to reach them, the campaign needed to speak to them in a deeper level than just a 30 second spot on a TV channel.
To engage the target, the campaign set its basis on different premises: the message needed to be highly compelling to these girls (therefore a promotion with prizes and a spokesperson that would fit the target), the language needed to be organic to them and the presentation of the message needed also to feel like part of their daily life.
