Garnier Marketing Campaign

Garnier's marketing campaign dedicated to the launch of the new Pimple Patch stood out for its ability to authentically connect with Gen Z, involving thousands of university students in major Italian cities. The goal was twofold: to promote an innovative product in the skincare segment and to strengthen brand awareness among young people, through an effective and memorable activation on the territory.

UniversityBox has activated a high-penetration experiential campaign in the university world, combining DEM, push notifications and native content on digital touchpoints.

The realization

For this one Garnier marketing campaign, strategic points have been selected near the main Italian universities, in cities with a high student concentration: Rome, Milan, Naples, Palermo, Bari, Turin, Bologna and Florence.
At each of these stages, a Garnier-branded information point has been set up, staffed by trained and recognisable ambassadors, with the aim of:

  • Introducing the new Pimple Patch explaining its characteristics and benefits;
  • Distribute gadgets branded and free samples to students;
  • Stimulate interaction via QR code for reviews and social engagement.

Students responded enthusiastically to Garnier's marketing campaign, attracted by the opportunity to try the product for free and receive useful and trendy gifts.
