increase in intent to vote for the DUFTSTARS Audience Award
The Fragrance Foundation wanted to increase awareness of the DUFTSTARS awards overall, and also encourage people to vote for their favourite perfume from six nominees for the DUFTSTARS Audience Award.
THE SOLUTION
Engaging Reels from selected creators
The Fragrance Foundation worked with Meta Creative Shop on an idea for three Instagram creators, including Angelo Carlucci, to create branded content Reels ads on the core topic of “Smells like memories”. Branded content is produced by a publisher or creator for payment by a business partner, where the partner influences the content or is featured in it.
The six fragrances nominated for the DUFTSTARS Audience Award were paired with video and image snippets of memories that each creator associated with the scent, which were then used to create attention-grabbing Reels.
The resulting Reels demonstrated how brands can work with creators to make brands more authentic, reach new audiences and increase relevance with younger audiences. The results of the campaign were measured with a Meta brand lift study between October 10–November 11, 2022. It was an outstanding success, achieving:
- 6 million people reached
- 1.8-point increase in intent to vote for the Duftstars Audience Award
