Case study

Challenge

Building on the success of the previous campaign (€17.6M in sales from €1.5M media spend), Oral-B faced the challenge of promoting an unchanged product with financial constraints. The goal was to maintain momentum while engaging consumers in
a fresh, innovative way that showcased the iO10’s smart capabilities.

Insight

Smart technology adoption is growing across Italian households, yet the bathroom remains underdeveloped in terms of smart tech integration. This presented an opportunity
to position the iO10 as the ultimate solution
for enhancing modern living through advanced brushing technology.

Idea

We launched a tech-forward campaign featuring the iO10 product bundle in aspirational bathroom settings. By producing high-quality TV commercials, social media assets, and visuals shot in Rome, we created a narrative that connected smart technology with everyday luxury. The campaign also introduced Alexa-enabled virtual bundles to maximize convenience during peak shopping events.

Execution

  1. National TV Campaign: Developed Oral-B’s first-ever TV commercial to reach mass audiences.

  2. Social Media Promotions: Exclusively launched the product bundle on Amazon Italy with targeted ads.

  3. Audio Ads & Fire TV Integration: Introduced audio ads with BEA experiences and utilized inline banners and feature rotators on Fire TV for seamless engagement.

  4. Peak Sales Drivers: Leveraged Alexa Virtual Bundles during key events like PBDD (Prime Big Deal Days) and BFCM (Black Friday Cyber Monday).
