THE PORTFOLIO CHALLENGE, SOLVED.

Correlating creator hype to in-store sales for a fragrance family with a blueprint for growth. 

GLOBAL FRAGRANCE POWERHOUSE DESIGNER PARFUMS HAD ‘GOOD PROBLEMS TO HAVE’.

1) With a super diverse portfolio of iconic brands including Playboy, Ariana Grande and Cerruti, how do we ensure we drive sales across the board and don’t cannibalize our own sales?
2) With the majority of fragrances  sold in brick and mortar stores, how can we effectively track the impact influencer marketing is having to the bottom line?

The provocation was clear. In a market flooded with scents how do you create segmented audience advocacy, and more importantly, actually prove that creator content is making the tills ring? 

We created unique, audience-first strategies for every brand. Sales results were precisely validated and tracked using bespoke tech that delivered timestamped correlation

We built a bespoke piece of proprietary tech that tracked the correlation between influencer and paid media activity and actual in-store sales. We didn’t just hope for the best; we built the tool to prove our impact, turning data into a roadmap for growth.

Over the course of a 1.5 year partnership we proved that an influencer-first approach not only generates massive reach and engagement but also fosters genuine brand love and high purchase intent. The learnings from these campaigns have provided Designer Parfums with an invaluable, data-driven roadmap for launching and scaling brands in a modern, social-first world.

SOME MORE OF OUR WORK

Beauty and the Beat: How We Made a Heritage Icon and a Challenger Brand the Talk of TikTok.

The beauty world is a battleground.

For a Heritage Brand (Estée Lauder): The provocation was clear: how does a luxury icon build real trust with Gen Z on TikTok without losing its high-end sparkle?


For a Challenger Brand (Erborian): The problem was even starker: in a world of “influencer fatigue,” how does a niche brand get noticed when everyone’s sick of sponsored posts?

Results

Two different challenges, two stunning victories.

Heritage (Estée Lauder): The campaign didn’t just get views; it changed minds. It was so successful it was expanded globally. We corrected misconceptions (“The way I never knew they made deep shades”) and fostered unbreakable brand love, proving a heritage brand can learn new tricks.

Challenger (Erborian): We went viral. A single post from our nail artist delivered a jaw-dropping 19.8 million organic views. We turned sponsored content into valued entertainment (“I wish all ads were like this!”), and the internal Erborian team was “buzzing with excitement.”
