STRATEGY

Today's moms embrace the "EASY" approach to motherhood, prioritizing time for themselves by streamlining their daily baby care routines. However, this trend has led to penetration loss in fabric softener category, as many new mothers believe 2in1 & multi benefit detergent solutions  can provide sufficient care for their little ones.  But what if skipping steps does not actually make things more convenient?

As a market leader in gentle/sensitive demand space, Comfort Gentle needs to shake up the business & proven its relevancy with this transformation in mom’s mindset by establishing new emotional platform dedicated for “EASY MOM”, Comfort Gentle stepped in as a credible & meaningful companion, softnening Mom's hidden toughness, giving moms a peace of mind and more gentle time with babies. We spearheaded a revolutionary "GENTLE" experience across all platforms, led by the 'one-of-a-kind' kid-influencer Pamiuoi and Salim as Mom & baby duo powered by a groundbreaking O2O commerce strategy for a seamless customer journey.

INSIGHT

Contemporary mothers prioritize meticulous child-rearing practices while concurrently seeking strategies to optimize personal well-being through self-care. This necessitates a focus on streamlining daily tasks and achieving a state of “enough”  efficiency, balancing child-centered efforts with personal needs.

Mothers apply this efficiency-driven mindset to their laundry routine, often opting for 2-in-1 or multi-benefit detergents under the assumption that they can effectively replace fabric softener.

However, doing laundry for babies is not as simple as it seems. With such babies' delicate and sensitive skin, everything that comes into direct contact is of utmost importance to mothers. Simplifying laundry tasks may be appealing yet fails to prove itself as productive to Moms. Instead of giving Moms more pleasure, it actually adds additional concerns & takes up extra efforts of Moms to assure desired softness and gentleness as babies need. Because of babies' sensitive skin, Moms need to find different ways to soften clothes, namely ironing after wash or employing multiple rinses, to remove all traces of detergent, to soften fabric and to make them smell pleasant

So, what can truly help them be EASY?

This is the perfect moment for Comfort Gentle to redefine the true essence of 'Easy Mom.' It's not about simply cutting corners, but rather embracing efficient solutions. By prioritizing gentle care for newborns in a single, comprehensive step, Comfort Gentle empowers mothers with ultimate peace of mind.

CREATIVE IDEA

EASY MOM in a wholesome gentle experience crafted for both Mom & Baby , was introduced as Comfort Gentle long-term integrated platform. Comfort Gentle chose to soften motherhood experience through a laundry formulation for Easy Moms: "+1 rinse step, x2 gentleness", directly connecting gentleness assurance for baby sensitivity to an emotional benefit for moms as an easy, quick solution.

Standing out among other advertisers of baby products, Comfort Gentle strived for beyond product superiority in laundry regime. Instead, the brand put at heart that motherhood is a journey full of challenges and hardships. By that Comfort Gentle demonstrated a meaningful commitment, accompanying mothers more comprehensively and gently in their motherhood journey.
