Background

In conservative societies where sexuality is taboo, young people have no choice but to learn about sex through porn. Porn movies tend to portray unrealistically perfect bodies and performances which makes young people less confident about themselves. Durex aimed a solution for the Turkish youngsters to find the “fittest” condom type and gain confidence easily and affordably, thanks to its new “Chill” package which includes three different condom types. For this, it was necessary to introduce both Chill and “the facts” to youngsters who could not obtain sexual information form their families, schools nor friends, and whose only source of information was porn.

Describe the strategy

Based on the researches, we found the “real influencers” that young people know best and would listen with pleasure on sexual matters: Their first real sex teachers… So we picked Lisa Ann and Rocco Siffredi as the teachers and made them advise young ones about sex safe and real pleasure. We prepare a launch movie where our two stars rap in Turkish to get the attention of young Turkish audience. Then we invited our viewers to watch six separate films presented by the famous duo, each one focuses on different aspects of sexual taboo and misinformation. They enlightened the youth with sex facts and the convenience offered by Durex Chill.

Describe the execution

First, Lisa and Rocco announced that they’re coming to teach Turkish youngsters with Turkish posts. Then they spread the message of the campaign with a viral film that they rap about sex facts; and invited youngsters to 6 informative films that cover Chill’s features and sex tips. In the following steps, campaign gained momentum with stickers, memes, and influencer interactions.

List the results

The campaign reached a total of 178M people; ad completion rate was 76%. While the rate of users passing the ad fell 46%, subscribers of Durex Turkey Youtube channel increased by 58.5%. Twitter views increased by 1608%, while Instagram views increased by 56%. Durex Chill grew by 195% in terms of sales and turnover over first three months after the campaign. While the market shrank by 9% in this period, Durex Chill managed to enter the top ten products in our best selling products list. Our rate of being the first brand that comes to mind among young people has increased by 11.5 points.
