STRATEGY
Our strategy was built on a "Rescue Mission" framework to position Dear, Klairs Midnight Blue Water Cream not just as a moisturizer, but as an essential recovery solution for a market in crisis. The core of this strategy was the "Dual-Growth" engine, which leveraged the massive market equity of our Hero SKU—the Unscented Toner—to propel the new "10-Second Blue Cream" into the spotlight through a seamless flow from awareness to conversion.The Full-Funnel Architecture:Awareness (Omni-Channel Visibility): We initiated "Digital Dominance" combined with "Physical Presence." Beyond high-impact iTVCs and a high-density "Review Matrix," we blanketed the streets with OOH (Airports, Elevators) and massive POSM systems at retail stores. This "Paint the town Blue" approach ensured the 10-second ritual was unmissable across both digital and physical landscapes.Consideration (The Mega Event Hub): The Mega Event served as the heart of consideration, featuring three core activities: (1) Expert-led Workshops with dermatologists to build authority, (2) Celebrity Fan Meetings to forge emotional bonds, and (3) High-Touch Experiential Zones where consumers personally tested the "10-second melt" texture.Conversion (Multi-Point Closing): To trigger immediate GMV, we deployed a high-velocity conversion engine. This included Mega Live Sessions with top-tier streamers, an extensive Affiliate Video Booking network to drive social commerce, and aggressive In-store Activations. By tying event access to "Exclusive Ticket Bundles" and running nationwide store promotions, we successfully turned curiosity into confirmed purchases.The execution followed a 360-degree integration, synchronizing "Digital Dominance" with "Physical Impact." By "painting the town blue" and utilizing our synchronized ecosystem, we successfully funneled massive social buzz into immediate conversion, ensuring that the "10-second ritual" became a viral phenomenon and a new standard in Vietnamese skincare.
INSIGHT
The Vietnamese skincare market in 2024-2025 reached a tipping point characterized by a widespread "Skincare Crisis." A surge in the aggressive use of high-strength active ingredients (Retinol, Tretinoin, AHA/BHA) and invasive clinical treatments had outpaced consumer education. This resulted in a critical pain point: millions of consumers were suffering from compromised skin barriers, chronic redness, and persistent irritation, creating an urgent demand for "recovery" solutions.However, a secondary, more specific tension existed: The Oily-Skin Paradox. While approximately 70% of Vietnamese consumers possess oily or combination skin, the majority of existing "recovery" or "barrier repair" products were formulated with heavy, occlusive, and oil-based textures. Consumers were trapped in a frustrating trade-off: they had to choose between "repairing their skin" (and risking clogged pores, breakouts, and excessive greasiness) or "maintaining a lightweight feel" (and leaving their damaged skin untreated).Human Insight: "I desperately need to heal my burning, irritated skin, but I’m terrified of heavy creams that make me look like an oil slick in this humid weather. I need a solution that 'cools down' my skin and repairs the damage instantly with a weightless finish, not a thick, suffocating mask."Dear, Klairs identified that "recovery" needed to be redefined from a slow, heavy clinical process into a fast, sensory-driven performance. By focusing on the 10-second absorption and the innovative cooling gel-water texture, we addressed both the physiological need for barrier repair and the lifestyle demand for weightless textures. We transformed a clinical necessity into a high-performance, 10-second ritual that delivers immediate relief without compromising the skin's aesthetic or comfort.
CREATIVE IDEA
Big Idea: "KEM XANH 10s" – The Instant Skin RescueTo cut through the dense medical jargon of the skincare market, we revolutionized our positioning by replacing the technical product name with a catchy, iconic moniker: "Kem Xanh 10s" (The 10-Second Blue Cream). This name serves as both a powerful brand identity and a performance promise, specifically designed to resonate with consumers seeking an immediate "rescue" solution for skin in crisis.The "10-Second" USP as a Memorable Hook: The number "10" was utilized as a psychological anchor to communicate our Unique Selling Points (USP) with extreme clarity:Instant Heat Reduction: Directly addressing the immediate burning sensation and redness of irritated skin.Rapid Absorption: Highlighting the innovative gel-water texture that prevents clogged pores—a critical factor for oily skin suffering from breakouts due to improper high-strength treatments (Retinol, AHA/BHA).Instant Recovery: Transforming a complex clinical process into a simple, high-speed 10-second ritual that fits a modern lifestyle.The "Power of Three" Influencer Strategy: Our creative execution relied on a robust three-pillar authority model to validate the "10-Second" promise across different consumer segments:The Authority (Dr. Khổng Hạnh Nguyên): Provided the dermatological "Green Light," validating the science behind the 10-second absorption and the safety of the gel-water formula for severely compromised skin barriers.The Brand Face (Arrc Kiên): As the Global Ambassador, Kiên bridged the gap between premium Korean skincare standards and the vibrant energy of the Vietnamese Gen Z, making "Kem Xanh 10s" a must-have lifestyle icon.The Healing Core (Ninh Anh Bùi & Tùng Dương): As our Key Product Ambassadors and the campaign’s primary emotional drivers, NAB-TD represented the pinnacle of "Healing Energy." We leveraged their massive cultural influence to position "Kem Xanh 10s" not merely as a medical treatment, but as a "physical manifestation" of the comfort they offer their community. Through their relatable storytelling, they demonstrated how the product solves the "Oily-Skin Paradox" by providing a weightless, cooling sensation that "extinguishes" skin fire in exactly 10 seconds. Their involvement turned a clinical repair process into a viral "Healing Ritual," making "Kem Xanh 10s" the ultimate remedy for treatment-induced breakouts without the burden of heavy, greasy creams.
CONNECTION PLAN
Synchronized Ecosystem: From Clicks to Bricks to Conversion The Connection Plan was designed as a seamless loop that bridged the gap between Digital Aspiration and Physical Experience, ensuring every touchpoint fueled the next.Online to Offline (O2O): The Emotional Funnel We started with "Digital Dominance" via a Review Matrix of hundreds of KOLs and high-impact iTVCs to build massive awareness. This digital buzz was then funneled into Physical Impact through the "3-in-1 Mega Event". To ensure the transition, we used Exclusive Ticket Bundles: fans couldn't just attend the fan meetings with Arrc Kiên or Ninh-Dương; they had to purchase product bundles online or at retail partners to secure their spot, directly converting social engagement into sales.Offline to Online (O2O): The Viral Ripple The physical event was designed as a "Viral Content Factory." The High-Touch Experiential Space encouraged thousands of attendees to capture the "10-second melt" and share it on TikTok/Threads using the hashtag #SuKienKemXanh10s. This created a "digital ripple effect" where the physical experience of 2,000 attendees was amplified to reach 64 million views online.Physical Immersion & Conversion Nationwide OOH (airports/elevators) and in-store "Blue Branding" ensured the brand was unmissable. Finally, we funneled all the emotional energy from the events into High-Speed Conversion engines:MegaLive Sessions: Top streamers triggered explosive sales during the event peak.Retailer Activation Chain: Ensuring the product was "front and center" at all major physical retailers to capture foot traffic generated by the campaign.
