Pond’s Skin Institute, under the massive umbrella of Unilever, has unveiled an ambitious rebranding strategy in collaboration with Ogilvy Singapore. Stemming from a 177-year-long commitment to skincare innovation, the shift seeks to further solidify its reputation as the world’s premier and longest-standing skincare institute.
Bright Miracle: The Future of Skin Radiance
In line with its rebranding, Pond’s introduced its new product lineup titled “Bright Miracle.” The highlight? Niasorcinol™, touted as a groundbreaking component. This unique ingredient encapsulates the principles of autophagy – a Nobel Prize-acknowledged science – enhancing the skin’s inherent self-repair mechanisms and optimizing clarity and luminosity.
Breathing Life into the Brand: A Collaborative Triumph
While the scientific backbone remains untouched, the task at hand for Ogilvy was a daunting one: rejuvenating Pond’s image. Beyond just redefining the brand’s essence and visual representation, the spotlight was on global sensation and K-pop star, Tzuyu. Her debut as the global ambassador is poised to be a game-changer. She bridges the world of scientific marvel with everyday skincare, encouraging women globally to tap into Pond’s legacy and innovations.
The Science of Miracles: Bridging Aspirations with Reality
The campaign’s tagline, an Ogilvy brainchild, draws inspiration from the transformative potential of Pond’s pioneering science, especially for Southeast Asian women. Aanchal Sethi, at the helm of Ogilvy Singapore’s Unilever partnership, emphasized the glaring gap between women’s skin aspirations and their current reality. With Pond’s new range, the once distant dream now seems achievable, she suggested.
Vandana Suri, the Global Brand Lead for Pond’s Skin Institute, encapsulated the brand’s excitement at this juncture, combining its rich heritage with the cutting-edge “Bright Miracle” range. The partnership with Tzuyu is anticipated to be a landmark one. Suri commended Tzuyu’s multifaceted talents, warmth, and perspective on beauty, deeming her a true embodiment of “making miracles happen.”
Bright Miracle’s Global Voyage
Starting its journey in Indonesia in October 2023, the “Bright Miracle” range is set to make waves across Southeast Asia and globally through 2024. Fans and skincare enthusiasts can look forward to engaging video content, social media campaigns, and revamped in-store experiences.
