Our Work
Work began in May 2015, with the aim of officially launching in September 2015. We created a local website and started their Facebook and Instagram channels. Along with the digital launch, we Google Display Network adverts and Google Ads.
We provided all website content and updated their blog monthly with fun and relevant content. Our social teams ran paid Facebook adverts and posted consistent, fun, and varied organic social media content. Within a short time, we grew their audience to over 100,000!
The brand is popular and a first of its kind, so introducing it in a fun way to South Africans was truly a pleasure. Since the product could only be sold to salon owners and hairstylists, we tracked sales and audience growth as separate conversion markers. We were able to deliver consistent sales conversions through supplier Hair Health and Beauty and Hairhouse Warehouse's ecommerce store.
The launch and consequent dominance in the market was considered a massive success. Today, Olaplex is still loved and respected as the top brand in its category in South Africa.
