Ponds Selfie Contest – Using Digital Contest to Grow & Inspire the Customer Base Profitably

Goal

Ponds, a popular brand under Unilever, aimed to ensure customers were connected with the brand, enhancing resonance.

Strategy

  1. Digitization with a personalized touch
    While participants felt best personally, their socials also saw this and the brand name associated with the post caption, boosting social visibility.

  2. Marketing with optimum capital intensity
    There have been perceived differences in the beauty care industry, but encouraging customers to showcase themselves willingly was a strategic investment that led to organic brand awareness.

  3. Marketing values instead of the product
    The goal is to make people feel good about themselves, aligning with the brand’s core values without aggressive promotion.
