2. Analysing consumer insights from real conversations

Before driving the campaign, we analysed existing conversations in communities to understand the discussion, pain points, and ideas members had regarding hair removal and observed the following:

  • Conversations on hair removal solutions for daughters were growing
  • Members were discussing the easiest and painless hair removal ways for underarm
  • They discussed hair removal solutions for sensitive skin

Based on the above observations, we focused on creating conversations around the benefits of Veet Hair removal cream for first-time depilation and then showcasing the efficacy of Veet hair removal cream with usage-based testimonials/reviews.

3. Community Marketing campaign idea

We strategised the campaign into 2 phases. In the first phase, we focused on addressing the myths around hair removal creams and highlighting their usage, especially for sensitive areas like underarms. We achieved this by hosting an expert live session with leading beauty bloggers and dermatologists for the community members. The members actively participated, asked about their concerns, and shared their positive experiences.

In the second phase, we focused on highlighting the benefits of Veet Hair removal cream for a safe and great experience. We prompted members to share their experiences, thoughts/ concerns, and recommendations for teenage depilation. The community admins led this campaign by sharing their personal experiences with photographs and encouraging members to participate via User Generated Content (UGCs).

With every phase, we strengthened the association of benefits with the brand, while continuously educating members on the benefits of using Veet Hair removal creams over other hair removal methods to further build trust around the brand.

While the theme of the content was consistent across all the communities, the testimonials of members brought their own unique experiences of how their daughters / younger sisters started their journey of hair depilation with Veet.
