John Frieda®
Blonde Secret
John Frieda® stands for 30 years of expertise in tailor-made hair care for demanding hair. Especially blondes need products that transform their hair into the best possible blonde. The Blonde Secret campaign focuses on three special hair care product collections for blonde hair. We discover the secrets of the blonde women who have found their perfect product match John Frieda®.
The task
The challenge was to create an appealing and recognizable 360° ATL campaign with a strong and unique digital activation. The campaign was set to activate the biggest online sampling ever done by the brand, including 25.000 sample packs which should be distributed not only to blonde women, but to those with specific needs for their blonde hai.
The idea
Blondes are always trying to perfect their hair as much as John Frieda® does with its blonde specific products. We know, blonde is more than a color. It is an identity. Having the perfect blonde hair is a secret. We used that insight for our campaign. Blonde Secret revealed the blonde women´s secrets and let users take part in the “blonde circle of trust” – haircare, beauty, fashion & lifestyle secrets were revealed over a campaign period of 6 weeks.
The outcome
Influencer as the key visuals faces and the protagonists of the Blonde Secret campaign films.
Three blonde ambassadors are the inspiring faces of the Blonde Secret campaign. Each of them stands for one of the three John Frieda® blonde product collections.We created awareness and appeal through their social channels and connected their beautiful hair to John Frieda®. We established John Frieda® as THE brand for demanding blonde hair. While the influencers revealed secret after secret to the audience together with John Frieda®, users were able to get closer and closer to their own perfect blonde by signing up to receive blonde sample packs for their specific needs.
Blonde product advisor & sampling
Through the blonde product advisor, which was especially designed for the campaign, the users got exactly the products their blonde needed. Brilliant Shine for blonde hair which needs shine and volume, Perfekte Reparatur for stressed and damaged blonde and Go Blonder for a sunkissed blonde look.
Blonde Secret Wall
We filled an inspiring secret wall on the blondesecret.de website with secrets from our ambassadors, from supporting influencers and from participating users, as well as blonde related inspiring articles and secret tips.
