KEY MESSAGING TO PULL FROM IN ORDER OF PRIORITY FOR CONCEPTING:

CASTING DIRECTION:


HELPFUL REFERENCE VIDEOS FOR INSPIRATION/TONE:

Objectives

Many consumers have sensitive skin concerns in their household, but are hesitant to use “sensitive skin detergents” which are typically unscented because they prefer scent. Because of this, some consumers buy two detergents: a free clear detergent for those in their household with sensitive skin, and a regular scented detergent for those who do not. To address this challenge, all® recently introduced a new variant called all® sensitive fresh™. all® sensitive fresh™ provides consumers with the fresh scent they want while being gentle on skin. It is 100% free of dyes and has a light, hypoallergenic “spring breeze” scent. The brand wants to develop videos for their social channels to make sure consumers know that all® sensitive fresh™ is the only detergent they need for a fresh smelling clean that is gentle on skin.

 

The goal of this project is to produce three short live-action social videos that can be used across all®'s social channels to increase all® Sensitive Fresh's brand awareness and spotlight their key benefits: hypoallergenic scent, 100% free of dyes, and from the makers of all® free clear: the #1 brand recommended by dermatologists. We're looking for each :15 video to be unique, even if there's a lot of overlap in messaging, and they want something tailor-made for social platforms. While the brand is open to more "standard" approaches, like regimen videos or product showcases, there's a strong preference for creative executions that can really resonate. Think about how you can capture the audience's attention somehow, while delivering all® Sensitive Fresh's brand messaging. 


In terms of that messaging, while there is a lot of emotion and sincerity tied to the topic of sensitive skin, the brand is still open to some light humor and fun. Making sure that children who are dealing with sensitive skin feel cared for and can live unburdened is a serious concern, but how we talk about all® Sensitive Fresh doesn't need to be devoid of levity. The brand wants to capture someone that's expressing the key messaging, but doing so in a down-to-earth, mindful, and even playful way. You can find more information about the messaging in the Background.

 

In terms of format and execution, all® is specifically looking for live-action approaches that feel particularly social savvy. They're not looking for overly elaborate "commercial" executions, and while there will be paid media behind these, the brand does not want them to come off as generic, obvious advertisements. Your three concepts should be cohesive though each can stand alone as a unique ad. The brand is also open to reusing the same cast, locations, and even music. You can find further information on casting preferences in the Background. While VO and spoken dialogue are welcomed, they are not mandatory. Please consider, though, how any on-screen text and visuals will be impacted by the text safe zones for the respective social platforms.


In your pitch, the brand would like to see 2-3 options for different creative approaches, and some information about they help to advance the message and stay on brand. The brand team will then work with you if you're greenlit to hone the concepts. Feel free to include links to any existing videos (they don't have to be your own) that represent the style you'd be aiming for.
