A new campaign from Gillette Venus tries to get rid of pubic hair. A digital video series from L'Oréal Professionnel that aims to transcend traditional product marketing. And Constant Contact discloses extensive email response rate data. Let's take a closer look at what to learn from these examples.
Gillette takes on arch-enemies (and, no, it's not a typo)
Only 18% of women mention pubic hair by its own name, according to a study sponsored by Gillette Venus, a P&G brand. And that, the company believes, points to an unfair stigma against natural body parts, as Shannon Miller writes in Adweek .
In response (and to launch Venus for Public Hair and Skin Collection ), razor retailer created #SayPubic, a campaign that has a lot more going for it than an attention-grabbing hashtag. It also has a theme song and video called #ThePubeSong. That's right, cartoon pubic hairs talk about wanting to lose the stigma. You can watch the video on any of the brand's social channels, including TikTok:
www.tiktok.com/@gillettevenus/video/6963615568331148550″ data-video-id=”6963615568331148550″>
@ gillettevenus Dislike ## SayPubic? Try singing it! ## ThePubeSong is a song for pubs, of pubs. ♬ original sound – Gillette Venus
Influencers like Graceorsomething also created a TikTok video based on the song:
@ gillettevenus Reply to @maeveymaeveynot BRB, try to summon fairies… @graceorsomething ## ThePubeSong ## SayPubic ♬ original sound – Gillette Venus
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: The goal to remove the stigma around pubic hair sounds lofty. But the song is also a creative way for Venus to stand out in the women's razor market. Some consider it brave or funny and others something less appealing. But people are talking about it, writing about it and buying products. The website says Venus for Pubic Hair and Skin Collection stock has sold out – and the company is collecting email addresses of people who want to be on the waiting list.
