Creative Execution
We built a custom Trending Tool with Google, which analyses the searches to predict what women are likely to look for in the near future. This information is made into briefs to the vloggers, who create bespoke content to match – featuring relevant Unilever hair products. We buy the trending search terms, and use paid search to promote the matching content just when it is looked for.
The videos are hosted on our bespoke, e-commerce enabled YouTube channel. In the custom, magazine-inspired interface, women can browse by their hair type to find all the most relevant trends, treatments and how-tos.
- 16 million views in first 6 months
- Biggest hair care brand channel in the world after 10 weeks
- Live in 5 markets less than a year in
- Wedged between Nicki Minaj and Rihanna in YouTube’s own engagement ranking – within top 10 most engaged brand channels
- 3 x more likely to lead to purchase than traditional advertising, 3 x more appealing and 4 x more enjoyable (Millward Brown)
- Campaign called it "genius" and "advertising for real people".
- Contagious asked if it should set a new standard for how we judge creative at Cannes.
Every month, there are 1 billion hair searches – but they are not going to brands. Our solution: bringing together Unilever's top hair brands with the world's biggest search engine and the best video bloggers.
Rather than pushing a single brand agenda, we created Unilever’s first ever cross-category collaboration for hair brands – All Things Hair, a digital super brand for the 21st century.
Our objectives:
• Increase presence and relevance of Unilever hair brands online
• Establish a personal, sustainable relationship with our audience
• And eventually, to sell more Unilever hair products
By constantly monitoring hair searches, we understand what women are looking for, right now. Our vloggers use this to create inspiring videos – using Unilever hair brands. Then we buy the trending search terms, to point to the All Things Hair YouTube channel, where our target audience can find the answers to all their hair problems.
