Building a High-Impact Hero Product Launch Across Paid Media
Co-led the paid media and channel strategy for a three-star priority product launch, managed four integrated media and e-commerce planners, and led the local implementation of regional media directives from planning through performance review.
Key Outcomes
Context & Challenge
The client designated a new liquid foundation as a three-star priority launch within its ambition to regain makeup-category leadership across online and offline channels. Our role was to develop a paid media and channel strategy that could build rapid awareness, strengthen consideration and reinforce brand distinctiveness in a highly cluttered beauty category.
Integrated media received approximately 20% of the total agency-managed budget, with the remaining investment shared across creative, affiliate marketing and e-commerce. We therefore had to prioritize the highest-impact activations while applying regional standards on first-party data adoption, video assets of six seconds or less, DMI and KOL asset splits, and prescribed reach sufficiency.
Strategic Approach
What the Results Showed
Rapid Launch Visibility
Digital OOH exceeded both reach and impression targets, while TikTok Top View reached more than two million people in one day. Concentrated, high-impact placements created immediate scale around the priority launch.
Consideration and Brand Impact
Meta’s Brand Lift Study recorded a 5.5% lift in consideration, while Kantar research showed stronger perceptions of the brand as unique, dynamic and trend-setting.
Clearer Audience and Creative Roles
Website-engaged audiences generated a higher click-through rate than broad targeting. Creative analysis also clarified the roles of static product assets, celebrity-led video and KOL demonstrations across the funnel.
What I Bring
This work demonstrates my ability to co-lead integrated paid media strategy, manage planning teams, allocate investment against priority objectives, and apply regional media standards to locally relevant activation. By connecting paid media, creator, affiliate, brand and e-commerce workstreams with layered measurement, I helped turn a priority product launch into a repeatable framework for future campaigns.
