How SENSAI Used Odore to Enhance Online Presence and Drive New Leads

SENSAI embarked on a journey to enhance its online presence across key European markets - the UK, Italy, and Germany.

The Company

SENSAI is a Japanese skincare brand known for its philosophy of ‘Living mindfully in grace'. The Sense and Science of Japan. Celebrating the beauty of life, embraced by silk, enlightened deep from within.

Koishimaru Silk
The precious signature ingredient of SENSAI
"Throughout Japanese history, Koishimaru Silk is highly reputed as an exceptionally light and radiant silk once reserved only for the Imperial family. To this day, Koishimaru Silk remains to be the most precious type of silk. The House of SENSAI discovered the youthful silky hands of the silk weavers"

Strategic Approach and Campaign Launch

Understanding SENSAI’s objectives, Odore recommended a multi-channel strategy centred around bespoke branded micro-sites. These micro-sites served as a unified platform for customer experiences across paid media and Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) channels, including Facebook, Instagram, and influencer campaigns. The strategy was designed to streamline the customer journey, making it easy for users to engage with the brand and its products, as well as capture the preferences of new customers.

The campaign utilised link ads to direct potential customers to the micro-sites, where they could learn more about SENSAI’s products, particularly the Double Moisturising routine and the Cellular Performance Extra Intensive Eye Cream. A short questionnaire on the micro-site helped capture valuable data on brand awareness and consumer preferences, informing future marketing efforts and allowing the brand to personalise customer communications.

How we did it

EXECUTION

The campaign’s execution saw the creation of engaging content and assets, optimised for each channel. Influencer partnerships and social media ads played a significant role in reaching the target audience, complemented by a pop-up on the D2C site that encouraged sample claims from high-intent customers. This integrated approach ensured a consistent brand experience and maximised upon SENSAI’s objectives.

CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT AND DATA COLLECTION

The campaign's emphasis on generating high-quality product reviews and collecting actionable customer data was pivotal. The Odore platform's seamless data collection from various channels ensured a comprehensive database of engaged leads. This rich data set was crucial for tailoring subsequent nurture campaigns, and enhancing the overall customer experience.
