Describe the objective of the promotion.

Arno hair-dryers are not used in beauty salons, and are not perceived as 'professionals', as products with great performance. We wanted to show women the opposite: Arno hair-dryers leave your hair fabulous!



Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation.

We knew we had to find a way to put Arno into the beauty salon territory and to convey great performance at the same time.



Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service.

What we did: we used a media that is a must in every salon - women's magazines. Women read magazines while they're in the salon and there they look for references: of hair colours, hair style and products!



Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results.

A large batch of celebrity and fashion magazines was bought and taken to a studio. Every picture of beautiful hair received a stamp of an Arno hair-dryer.

The magazines were distributed in the salons of Sao Paulo. When the consumers were reading the magazines, they saw every beautiful hair had a Arno hair dryer on it. The public was impacted directly. All this has generated a lot of conversation for Arno, the initiative was publicised and commented on in social networks, generating thousands of dollars in spontaneous media. The sales of Arno hair-dryers grew 15% in a month in Sao Paulo.
