Objective
Over the years, VLCC Wellness has grown into a full-scale beauty and wellness player with 200+ centres across India. While the iconic VLCC brand is strongly associated with slimming and weight management solutions, there was limited awareness of its beauty solutions, especially those catering to millennials. To address this, VLCC Wellness launched a year-long #VLCCStyleStatements campaign with the objective to position themselves as youth oriented brand and create awareness of their beauty services and solutions.
Execution
To meet their objective, VLCC coined #VLCCStyleStatements, an influencer initiative across 50 plus cities, including Tier II and III towns. The brand gave influencers and bloggers a glimpse of their beauty and healthcare products and services through experiential sessions, to create awareness about VLCC’s very core.
VLCC partnered with 20 influencers, celebrities, bloggers, micro influencers and publishers, in every city. During these sessions, influencers and bloggers were given personalised responses and solutions for all their beauty concerns.
