Objective

Beiersdorf Health Care began in a small pharmacy in Hamburg and now competes globally. Built on the core values of care, simplicity, courage and trust, Beiersdorf employs more than 20,000 employees worldwide and generates an annual revenue of $9 billion in total.

Challenges

  • Marketing to a global audience requires creating countless assets which opens up room for inconsistencies.
  • This, coupled with the pressure of launching high impact campaigns on such a massive scale and the number of decision makers can lead to slow delivery with lack of data validation.

Method 

While launching a new global campaign, the team of Hansaplast, Elastoplast and CURITAS used Dragonfly AI’s Studio to analyze their PoS (point of sale) brand relaunch campaign materials.

One of the most crucial elements of the brand’s relaunch was to ensure that their “Bacteria Shield seal” was front and center of the visual hierarchy. Beiersdorf Health Care wanted to make the message crystal clear that their Bacteria Shield “blocks 99% of bacteria.”

Dragonfly AI provided Hansaplast, Elastoplast and CURITAS’ team with key metrics that helped them create structured visuals. The tool enabled the company to position in sequence its products so that their logo, shield, and headlines stand out.

With this information, the team was able to optimize their campaigns in their Global HQ. Then, they sent their optimized products to adapt for their local audience. Backed by predictive visual analytics, these metrics and data could skillfully remove the subjectivity around colors, style, and product positioning.

“Dragonfly AI’s technology is so sophisticated in that it removed any demographic, language, or cultural barriers when analyzing our brand relaunch campaign assets. This reassured us when having data-led decisions to know that these decisions can be applied on a global scale. This provided us with important direction when designing the material and it made it much easier to show our global and local stakeholders why we made certain choices for the brand relaunch campaign and its material”.
