Australia – With the rise of the intricate multi-step skincare, such as that of the Korean method that includes the laborious 10-step routine; consumers, most especially women, are highly investing their time and money to keep up with such ‘maintenance’. This overwhelming feeling given by the skincare world is what New Zealand-based skincare brand Okana wants to be an ‘antidote’ to, hence, a new brand platform to showcase such promise with the help of creative agency Clemenger BBDO.

The brand platform, developed by the creative agency, strikes a chord with its main communication of ‘stupid simple’ which aims to highlight the mundaneness – at the same time – the beauty of simplicity.

To be launched in Australia, the fresh brand identity was associated with 15-second youtube videos featuring the musician-actress Ayesha Madon, Okana’s brand ambassador, whilst showcasing some of Okana’s skincare products.

Vibs Amin, founder of Okana, said that its new brand identity goes against the wrong, complicated, serious and overwhelming ideas in the beauty industry.

She added, “Our simplicity is our biggest asset – we are transparent about our ingredients, and consumers can look at our ingredients list and feel empowered and confident about skincare.”

Clemenger BBDO led the new brand platform’s overall creative and production, as well as its website and packaging redesign.

Its group creative director Daniel Pizzato commented that the skincare industry is so broad due to the wide range of products and ingredients, associated with both information and misinformation.

“Okana’s products prove that a stupid level of simplicity, achieved in smart ways, can secure better outcomes. Stress and skin don’t play well together, so Stupid Simple is all about clarity and fun,” he concluded.

The ‘VS’ series spans a broad range of genres including sci-fi, fantasy, action, and sports. Each episode has its own universe and style, featuring the work of various award-winning animation studios and singer-songwriters.

Visitors can enter the SK-II Studio where they can get an exclusive backstage tour of the ‘VS’ series, and find animation sketches, film trivia, and behind-the-scenes footage from the six athletes.

Sandeep Seth, the CEO of SK-II Global, said that in these times where international travel is still restricted, they want to be able to provide their consumers a gamified experience that they can gain inspiration and shop in a safe yet entertaining and meaningful way.

“We are thrilled to launch the SK-II CITY, as we premiere our next SK-II Studio blockbuster ‘VS’ series. The SK-II CITY is inspired by our Japanese heritage as well as our brand purpose #CHANGEDESTINY,” added Seth.

Shopee Olay

Singapore – P&G-owned skincare brand Olay has launched a brand new campaign – Adult Fearlessly – and it has partnered with Shopee to exclusively run it on its platform ahead of Olay’s special sale event Brand Day. The event will be held on October 14 to 16.

The campaign seeks to reach and engage with millennial women around Southeast Asia to bring a message of empowerment that they can #adultfearlessly, and overcome the perceived challenges of “adulting,” such as that with investing in their skincare needs.

Together with Shopee, Olay has conceptualized and co-created content such as a video called “Fearless with your choices,” which aims to shift the mindsets of millennials as they confront their fears of turning 30. It is also said to highlight the positive aspects of the journey leading up to such age.

The campaign will be rolled out in phases across six markets including Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Lucy Moran, Senior eCommerce Director of Olay for APAC shared that the brand wants to focus on how consumers are integrating their lifestyle with their skin needs.

“As one of the top facial skincare brands in the world, we are continually innovating and advancing the way we connect with our consumers. With e-commerce driving a major shift from offline to online sales, there is potential to achieve further growth in this segment,” said Moran.

“Riding on this momentum to broaden our reach in Southeast Asia, we are partnering with Shopee once again to bring more engaging and convenient experiences online, where consumers are able to access Olay products– all at the click of a button,” she added.

Meanwhile, Shopee’s Regional Managing Director Ian Ho said that the Health & Beauty category is one of the top-performing on the platform as the new normal has driven even more consumers to browse and buy skin care products online.

“We are proud to be able to support Olay in their e-commerce growth through this campaign. Our shared consumer insights and widening base of millennial users have enabled a hyperlocal strategy for Olay to deliver the best online shopping experience. We are confident in supporting Olay to achieve another successful campaign with us,” said Ho.

This will be the second collaboration between the two brands. In April, Olay’s regional campaign for its Retinol 24 product line was also run by the partnership with Shopee.
