The Story

FACES is a leading beauty omni-channel retailer offering fragrance, skincare, bath and body, makeup, haircare, and accessories in the Middle East.

Faces have collaborated with Snapchat to launch their Omnichannel Ramadan campaign with the objective of driving awareness of their Ramadan creative and driving traffic to store as well as e-commerce traffic and purchases in UAE & KSA. 



The Solution

Faces adopted premium ad formats across both camera and content. Within the camera, they activated 3 lenses covering Pre-Ramadan, Ramadan and Eid Celebrations, building their audience in anticipation for the big sellout momentum.

At the same time and within content, they ran first commercials in KSA, Story ads and Snaps ads for offline and DPA for e-commerce in both UAE & KSA. Their video ad strategy combined brand creatives and creator's content. In parallel, measurement solutions covering a brand lift study and a conversion lift study were set up for the branding campaign. A Brand Lift study was also set up to measure brand metrics such as Brand Awareness, Ad Awareness, Brand Favourability and Action intent.

The Results

Impact of Brand campaigns on performance metrics (Brand-Formance): To understand the impact of brand campaigns on lower performance metrics like purchases, conversion lift study is set on the brand campaign. While the primary objective of the branding campaign is reach and awareness, the conversion lift study showed a 10.35% lift in purchases amongst adults aged 35+. 

The Lens delivered an incremental reach of 57% in UAE.
