Make or Break Moments

There are Make or Break Moments in almost every aspect of our life– When the outcome is uncertain but the implications are

profound

Make or Break Moments allow Rexona to leverage those times where a need for confidence and absolute dependability is everything

Heart pounding and adrenaline pumping instances that elicit anticipation and anxiety in the mind of protagonist and observer alike.

Make or Break Moments

The link between Make or Break Moments and Won’t Let You Down is implicit.

It isolates the pivotal points where ‘Won’t Let You Down’ comes to life

– The critical moment where physical and emotional tension culminate

Whilst the category is relatively low interest to consumers, Rexona is all about high drama.

Over time such a space will position Rexona as the only brand to use when it really matters.

– Clear potential for the brand to become synonymous with Make or Break Moments - A Rexona Moment

Positioning

•Functional Positioning - Positioning based on product features and attributes. Eg: Nesvita

•Image Positioning - Positioning based on emotional attributes & distinctive imagery rather than identification trademarks, functional attributes. Eg: Warid Telecom

•Competitive Positioning - Competitive positioning looks at how companies position themselves against each other in the marketplace. Eg: Safeguard And Lifebuoy

There are three ways to position your brand:

Rexona’s Positioning

When it was initially launched in 2005, Rexona based its positioning on the functional attributes, that is,

•24-hour anti perspirant.

This was done mainly to generate awareness of the use and benefits of deodorants

The tagline used was:

“Aap ka Aetimaad, Aap ke saath!”

Rexona’s Positioning

Earlier this year, in 2010, Rexona changed its positioning from Functional to Image positioning,

signaling a change in there brand strategy after having failed to make an impact on its target audience

A new campaign was then launched,

the “Hand Of Fate” Campaign.

Hand of Fate

Zooming in on the insecurities that plague the youth, Rexona was advertised earlier

this year, showing the hand of fate helping a woman meet her Mr. Right with sweat-

stained armpits.

The campaign was a global one with the tagline,

“it will never let you down”

Brand Activation

Brand Activation, for most people is a glorified name for BTL Activities, but it has transcended the boundaries to redefine BTL as:

“Beyond the Line”

Brand Activation is a new breed marketing approach that offers consumer engagement of the highest potential and it exceeds all lines (above and below) when developed as a marketing campaign.

Brand Activation

Traditional advertising is one-dimensional whereby a brand tries to impose its message on the consumer.

Brand Activation, on the other hand, does not pester; it invites and engages.

An activation program is based on three pillars:

•Invitation

•Experience

•Amplification

Brand Activation

Invitation:

The consumer is thrown a ‘brand’ challenge to come and participate. It is the first step that really engages the consumer.

Experience:

The consumer is immersed into a brand bubble that brings the brand ideology out in a larger than life manner. The consumer has the experience of a lifetime.

Amplification:

The entire campaign at all stages is promoted, pre/during/after.

This helps widen the impact and reaches those consumers

who did not participate or experience the brand in real time.

Brand Activation

The Rexona Brand Activation Campaign

Date with Fate

In order to create a more localized impact, as well as more one-on-one interaction with its target audience, Rexona began its brand

activation campaign called “Date with Fate”.

The campaign involved Wasim Akram going to various colleges

across Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad – and choosing a Mr.

and Miss Right from each college, after they went through a

series of mental and physical challenges.

Date with Fate

The objectives of the campaign were two-fold:

•To increase Brand Equity of Rexona in the youth segment of Pakistan

•To boost sales.

Pricing

Rexona as part of its global policy, does not engage in Premium Pricing, mainly due to the fact that its primary

targeted market is the youth.

A Rexona roll-on Deodorant in Pakistan is sold for only Rs. 75

Whereas, other imported deodorants currently being sold in the market cost in the range of

Rs. 110 to Rs. 150

Brand Based Communication

Rexona, being a Unilever Brand, has focused on its communication strategies employing a 360 degree

approach to target its consumers.

Following are some of the mediums used by Rexona as part of its Brand Based Communication strategy:

•Print Ads•TVCs•Billboards•Date with Fate Campaign•Radio
