An anniversary operation with style

Situation & challenge

Kleenex celebrates its anNOSEversary

To mark its entry into the club of century-old brands, Kleenex wanted to offer its consumers attractive anniversary gifts via an in-store and online golden ticket operation, while at the same time reaching out to a younger target audience.

The challenge: how to reinvent this already well-known mechanism?

 

Strategy

Style, only

The world may have changed in 100 years, but one thing remains constant: we’ll always need tissues.

To show the French, and in particular 18-35 year-olds, just how indispensable Kleenex still is, we went looking for them via one of their greatest interests: fashion.

Creative idea

A collection ready to blow your nose

To position Kleenex as a trendy and ever more useful brand, Sweet Punk imagined Le SNORF: an iconic limited-edition accessory to keep your favorite tissues close at hand. 10 of these bags, as well as exclusive merchandise in the brand’s 100th anniversary colors, are up for grabs via a 500 golden ticket mechanism deployed in stores.

During Fashion Week, this campaign is also supported by an influence campaign with Terriblement M, a renowned fashion content creator. To seize your chance, nothing could be simpler: grab a Kleenex!

Our guidance

The SNORF, the amazing productizing

Originally, Kleenex and beauty were one and the same.

For Fashion Week, the brand is going back to its origins and launching SNORF – the mini bag made in Kleenex – the essential accessory for perfecting the style of lifestyle personalities.

An operation supported by a creative influence strategy designed to reaffirm Kleenex at the heart of trends and discussions.

Opération Ticket d'or, a competition that slips into the boxes of your favorite tissues.

For the duration of the campaign, Kleenex launched a big hunt for the golden ticket to be found in participating stores.

The reward: a chance to win exclusive gifts.

Merchandising to make you cry with laughter

Kleenex is a brand that lives with the times.

To illustrate this, there’s nothing better than a collector’s item inspired by major trends, to make its mark on pop culture and make a lasting impression on its targets.

Never without my landing page

To present the operation and manage the golden tickets, we created a dedicated landing page.
