"The Scent of Ohana" Campaign

Reintroducing Scentsy to a younger generation.

Scentsy's unaided awareness had been declining with their key demographic for a few years, so one of the goals of the Walt Disney World Corporate Alliances partnership was to increase that.

This 30 second spot aired on Disney+ and Hulu, along with social cut downs on Meta platforms.

CLIENT | Scentsy

ROLE | Creative strategy & collaboration with Disney's Creative Works team and the production team at NuContext.

SCOPE | 30-second spot on DIsney+, timed to run from the Lilo & Stitch live-action theatrical release and streaming release

The challenge

We all know that scent can connect us to each other and to our memories, but communicating that without coming across like a weird perfume commercial takes a lot of skill!

The process

01 Creative Strategy

I provided overall creative strategy direction for the team at Disney while still encouraging them to find creative ways to meet the objective

02 Script & Storyboard

Once we landed on a direction, we collaborated on storyboards and worked out production details

03 Production & Edit

I was on set in Burbank to help make sure everything came together from the client perspective, and provided feedback during the editing process

The results

This campaign performed exceptionally well for a top-of-funnel play. It boosted awareness +5 points and favorability by +7 points with our key demographic.

We also saw a 45% increase to Disney web pages from same time period in previous year, with increased sales by nearly 40% on featured product, even though this was an awareness-focused campaign.
