Description

Pampers created the Golden Sleep campaign for the Chinese market, based on research showing babies slept better at night in high-absorbency disposable nappies, leading to improved cognitive development - a priority for Chinese moms.The integrated campaign used digital platforms to build Pampers’ brand equity in a market where disposables were not the norm. For the fourth Golden Sleep program in 2011/2012, the goal was to boost sales and brand share by strengthening the link between babies' ‘golden sleep’ and Pampers’ dryness.The hook was the Sleep Well to be Dragon campaign, connecting Pampers with the hot topic of China entering the Year of the Dragon in January 2012 - a particularly auspicious year for babies.Influential mom bloggers and baby care experts brought the Pampers’ Golden Sleep brand promise to life, and triggered 220,000+ moms to upload photos of sleeping babies for a world record attempt to create the biggest lantern dragon. In a discussion on Weibo (China’s Twitter), experts, journalists, opinion-makers and moms talked about babies’ sleep, and top Chinese mom bloggers demonstrated Golden Sleep tips.The campaign strengthened the link between Pampers and Golden Sleep, engaging and creating advocates out of hundreds of thousands of Chinese moms. It generated 307,000,000 digital and traditional media impressions, including 26 national TV reports and 825 pieces of print coverage.
