Challenge
In 2019, Skip, a leading laundry detergent brand, was launching its new washing powder: Skip Evolution. This was a product with the highest technology seeking to innovate within the category, reconquering buyers that were migrating to other brands and attracting new consumers.
In previous years, the brand had started to lose the emotional bond that some time ago had achieved with its consumers.
We had three great challenges:
Communicating the new launch.
Educating on the proper use of the new product.
Emotionally reconnecting with the consumers and reinforcing the brand value.

The strategy was to bring the brand's love for clothes to the next level – to a more wide and updated comprehension that leaves behind the classic fashion approach and stereotypes.
Strategy
The chosen strategy was to transform the technological evolution of the product into an evolution in every direction.
Historically, the brand has always had a clear message: Skip loves clothes as much as it loves its consumers, thus, it protects clothes in the best possible way. For the release of this product, the strategy was to bring the brand's love for clothes to the next level – to a more wide and updated comprehension that leaves behind the classic fashion approach and stereotypes and takes clothes as an expression of identity.
So, we implemented a holistic campaign that inspired to and connected with the different targets through messages that echoed modernity, inclusion and technology.
What could have been a product release campaign became a total evolution of the brand; evolving both its brand purpose and the way of communicating other products in the future.
