THE SOLUTION

Testing a new video ad placement

To test the impact of Instagram Reels ads on brand resonance, Kotex Malaysia conducted a two-cell brand lift study. The study compared its business-as-usual video ads placed across Instagram Feed, Explore and Stories to a campaign that supplemented its business-as-usual placements with Instagram Reels ads.

The mobile-first video assets for the Reels campaign highlighted the colorfully patterned design of the sanitary pad wrapper, included the key message of “Period or Not, You Have Nothing to Hide” and encouraged people to Shop now. When people followed the call to action, they arrived at the Kotex ecommerce store where they could make a purchase.

Kotex Malaysia delivered all ads to a broad audience of women in Malaysia interested in personal care, health and wellness throughout the eight-week campaign. The brand lift study found that the campaign with Instagram Reels delivered better results, including:

  • 8.6-point higher standard ad recall from campaign with Reels, compared to campaign without
  • 9.8-point higher standard ad recall among 25- to 34-year-olds from campaign with Reels, compared to campaign without
  • 3.1-point higher intent to purchase from campaign with Reels, compared to campaign without
  • 5.6-point higher intent to purchase among 25- to 34-year-olds from campaign with Reels, compared to campaign without
