Worst Face Scenario – APPIES Asia Pacific 2016 Gold Winner

BBH Asia Pacific (Thailand) won Gold for their campaign “Worst Face Scenario” at the APPIES Asia Pacific 2016.

Campaign synopsis:

Vaseline Men is an established facial grooming brand in Thailand with an equally established face moisturizer business.

However, the low penetration of male face moisturizers meant that the single most important challenge was building the category.

Leveraging the brand’s healing proposition, Vaseline Men re-framed the category conversation from skin darkening to damage.

To convince men about damage, Vaseline Men showed men the worst their skin could get under prolonged sun exposure: Their personal Worst Face Scenario.

The result: 218% increase in turnover, 180 bps MS increase and organic increase in appeal – from single market to a globally activated campaign.
