Make or Break Moments
There are Make or Break Moments in almost every aspect of our life– When the outcome is uncertain but the implications are
profound
Make or Break Moments allow Rexona to leverage those times where a need for confidence and absolute dependability is everything
Heart pounding and adrenaline pumping instances that elicit anticipation and anxiety in the mind of protagonist and observer alike.
Make or Break Moments
The link between Make or Break Moments and Won’t Let You Down is implicit.
It isolates the pivotal points where ‘Won’t Let You Down’ comes to life
– The critical moment where physical and emotional tension culminate
Whilst the category is relatively low interest to consumers, Rexona is all about high drama.
Over time such a space will position Rexona as the only brand to use when it really matters.
– Clear potential for the brand to become synonymous with Make or Break Moments - A Rexona Moment

Positioning
•Functional Positioning - Positioning based on product features and attributes. Eg: Nesvita
•Image Positioning - Positioning based on emotional attributes & distinctive imagery rather than identification trademarks, functional attributes. Eg: Warid Telecom
•Competitive Positioning - Competitive positioning looks at how companies position themselves against each other in the marketplace. Eg: Safeguard And Lifebuoy
There are three ways to position your brand:
Rexona’s Positioning
When it was initially launched in 2005, Rexona based its positioning on the functional attributes, that is,
•24-hour anti perspirant.
This was done mainly to generate awareness of the use and benefits of deodorants
The tagline used was:
“Aap ka Aetimaad, Aap ke saath!”
Rexona’s Positioning
Earlier this year, in 2010, Rexona changed its positioning from Functional to Image positioning,
signaling a change in there brand strategy after having failed to make an impact on its target audience
A new campaign was then launched,
the “Hand Of Fate” Campaign.
Hand of Fate
Zooming in on the insecurities that plague the youth, Rexona was advertised earlier
this year, showing the hand of fate helping a woman meet her Mr. Right with sweat-
stained armpits.
The campaign was a global one with the tagline,
“it will never let you down”
Brand Activation
Brand Activation, for most people is a glorified name for BTL Activities, but it has transcended the boundaries to redefine BTL as:
“Beyond the Line”
Brand Activation is a new breed marketing approach that offers consumer engagement of the highest potential and it exceeds all lines (above and below) when developed as a marketing campaign.
Brand Activation
Traditional advertising is one-dimensional whereby a brand tries to impose its message on the consumer.
Brand Activation, on the other hand, does not pester; it invites and engages.
An activation program is based on three pillars:
•Invitation
•Experience
•Amplification
Brand Activation
Invitation:
The consumer is thrown a ‘brand’ challenge to come and participate. It is the first step that really engages the consumer.
Experience:
The consumer is immersed into a brand bubble that brings the brand ideology out in a larger than life manner. The consumer has the experience of a lifetime.
Amplification:
The entire campaign at all stages is promoted, pre/during/after.
This helps widen the impact and reaches those consumers
who did not participate or experience the brand in real time.
Brand Activation
The Rexona Brand Activation Campaign
Date with Fate
In order to create a more localized impact, as well as more one-on-one interaction with its target audience, Rexona began its brand
activation campaign called “Date with Fate”.
The campaign involved Wasim Akram going to various colleges
across Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad – and choosing a Mr.
and Miss Right from each college, after they went through a
series of mental and physical challenges.
Date with Fate
The objectives of the campaign were two-fold:
•To increase Brand Equity of Rexona in the youth segment of Pakistan
•To boost sales.
Pricing
Rexona as part of its global policy, does not engage in Premium Pricing, mainly due to the fact that its primary
targeted market is the youth.
A Rexona roll-on Deodorant in Pakistan is sold for only Rs. 75
Whereas, other imported deodorants currently being sold in the market cost in the range of
Rs. 110 to Rs. 150
Brand Based Communication
Rexona, being a Unilever Brand, has focused on its communication strategies employing a 360 degree
approach to target its consumers.
Following are some of the mediums used by Rexona as part of its Brand Based Communication strategy:
•Print Ads•TVCs•Billboards•Date with Fate Campaign•Radio
