Influencer marketing has become every brand’s go-to strategy to promote their products today, making it difficult for them to break through the clutter. Especially when an influencer activity comes across as an obvious endorsement to the audience. However, Nykd by Nykaa manages to do just that through their latest campaign.
Digital creator Dolly Singh weaves in the promotion in a humorous storyline impressively subtly masking the endorsement in an entertaining video. Yet at the same time intriguing the audience to check out the product.
In an over three-minute video titled, ‘If your bra were an aunty’, Singh highlights the various issues women face with their ‘conservative’ bra and how Nykd by Nykaa can solve them all. Despite its length, the uniqueness and the humorous quotient makes you watch till the end. It doesn’t come across as a blatant endorsement; rather the content absorbs your attention and keeps you thoroughly entertained. At the same time, it is also informative as she explains the features of Nykd by Nykaa bras and also shows you the app.
Dolly Singh is an apt choice for the campaign as she has a substantial young female follower base. She is also a great content creator, who masters in making quirky and humorous content that connects with the youth. Unlike other influencers, she doesn’t put out a simple post endorsing a product, but always strives to weave it into a narrative.
Nykd by Nykaa has also been promoting its slip-on bras through influencer activity. They have on-boarded a host of influencers for this— Ashwini Dixit, Puja Negi, Minal Raj, Rahath Aaliya, Shreya Chakraborty and Aayushi Badheka.
