STRATEGY
Vietnam's Gen Z non-users hesitated to use night pads! Their association with night pads was "It's too thick & stuffy", "I can just sleep as still as a rock the entire night", "Let’s get creative and place 2 day pads together." As a result, night pads weren't the solution for them, despite the consequences. As a market leader, Diana had to take the lead to engage them in the use of night pads. The strategy here was to talk with Gen Z in the most genuine way, gaining their trust, and expecting them to be more receptive to the solution.
INSIGHT
Gen Z is a creative generation that discussed the topic of menstruation differently. Despite it being a traditionally sensitive topic, Gen Z had found a unique and creative way to talk about it. This implied that we had to use their language genuinely - that was relevant, without being too direct or insensitive. Gen Z also shared information about menstruation in an informative and engaging way on social media. They covered various topics such as tips and tricks, a boyfriend's point of view, hypothetical scenarios like "If periods were a person", and scientific information. This implied that what we could have done was leverage communities and immediate people in their close network to share the POV that engaged them.
CREATIVE IDEA
We draw our inspiration from the term "bể dâu," taken from "Truyện Kiều," a cornerstone of Vietnamese literature and a common part of high school curricula. This term denotes trauma or a significant life change. It's particularly fitting for our situation as the period in Vietnam is also referred to as "ngày dâu," and "bể dâu" similarly depicts a leakage scenario. Also, Rap is the most effective creative device of conveying this double entendre. It's also a genre that significantly influences Gen Z in Vietnam lately. Thus, the idea "Khóa bể dâu, ngăn bể sầu" (LOCK THE SEA OF “BERRY”, STOP THE SEA OF SADNESS) came to life.
CONNECTION PLAN
Riding the wave of Rap Viet season 3, we dropped a parody poster featuring modernized versions of Kiều's characters, paving the way for a Kiều-inspired music video that sheds light on the "day-mares" following a period night. In no time, the branded track went viral, sparking conversations far and wide. Once we had Gen Z's attention, we lured them into a "Đối thơ" contest, encouraging creativity while serving up edutainment through brand-owned content series and tailored KOL collaborations. To penetrate Diana Supernight into provincial markets, we crafted product-centric content rooted in the local dialects of Bắc Ninh, Huế, Dak Lak, Dong Nai, and Can Tho. All delivered in Kieu's poetic style, of course.
OBJECTIVE-BASE KPI
By the campaign's end, we tallied: 309 million impressions, 56 million views, and 23 million engagements. We exceeded industry norms with a staggering 60% view-through rate for our music video. [Super: 60% view-through rate vs 42% industry norm] And on the business front, Diana Supernight saw a robust growth of +5.1%. But most importantly, Diana successfully broke the ice on a sensitive topic, using materials that resonate with Gen Z in a socially savvy manner.
