Through an integrated campaign of engagement with well-known KOLs and illustrators, promotion on social media, engagement with consumers at pop-up store in Causeway Bay and the launch of limited thematic promotion kit, ‘Durex Love Series’ campaign has successfully engaged with youngsters and couples, positioned Durex the ‘Top of Mind’ brand of sexual wellness and intimacy. and empowered the audience to embrace sexual wellbeing by enjoying the fun of love and sexual desire. The Campaign not only succeeded in effectively entering the youth market, but also boosting Durex’s sales performance. Despite the downtrend in total sales of the overall intimate wellness category, Durex recorded up to double-digit growth in sales and surged in e-commerce sales year-on-year during the campaign period, a remarkable milestone to the Company’s success in marketing strategy and Durex’s leading position among the industry.
