CASE STUDY 2
JWT Russia for ORIFLAME, Natural Swedish Cosmetics
FACTS:
RUSSIA, population, 143 millions.
Russia ended 2005 with its seventh straight year of growth, averaging
6.4% annually
INSIGHT
Oriflame was orchestrating it’s comeback in advertising
after 10 years of silence. The company was mainly
focusing on direct sales to extend their distribution
network and had lost their image as cosmetic manufacturers. The
task was to re-position the brand in the cosmetics segment and
bring it back to its roots, all in a very competitive environment.
The primary target is women 18 to 30 +.
MY IMPLICATION
I was involved as Senior Creative Director, Art Director on the
international pitch for Russia and Eastern Europe.
The concept tested successfully and JWT Russia won
the pitch for the international campaign.
CONCEPT
Cosmetic advertising being standardized, the consumer
worships at the temple of glamour, where the high-priestesses
are the super-models. Ordinary women believe they can be beautiful
while staying true to themselves and Oriflame is their natural
path to beauty.
- Phase 1: To intrigue and bring attention to
the natural beauty of Oriflame girls, causing even super models
to be envious.
- Phase 2: To explain the natural beauty of Oriflame girls and
bring humor to the super models reactions when other women match
their beauty.
Oriflame 1 - Your natural path to beauty
Oriflame 2 - Your natural path to beauty
IMPACT
3 months after its launch, Oriflame achieved its best
sales since 10 years. The campaign inflamed lots of
talk among women who admired or hated top models.
Oriflame International appointed JWT Russia as their
agency for Eastern Europe.
For fun, how can top models prevent Oriflame
spreading
as new year gifts?
