Primary Brand Story Ad – Vaseline Rediscovery

Derivatives Ads

Brand Overview

Vaseline is a world-renowned skincare brand with over 150 years of history. Known for its iconic petroleum jelly, it has become a trusted solution for moisturizing, healing, and protecting the skin.

Campaign Goal

To reintroduce Vaseline as a modern, versatile essential that aligns with Gen Z’s values—simplicity, functionality, and value for money. Our campaign aims to make Vaseline a rediscovered “must-have” for this generation.

Key Insights

  • Gen Z values multifunctional, affordable, and effective products.
  • Peer recommendations and authenticity are powerful influences for this audience.

Target Audience

  • Primary: Gen Z (ages 18-25), who appreciate practical and innovative solutions.
  • Secondary: Millennials who may rediscover Vaseline through Gen Z trends.

Brand Message

“Vaseline was never outdated—just undiscovered.”

Strategy

  • Focus on a Gen Z protagonist to make the ad relatable.
  • Highlight real-life use cases (lip care, injury prevention, and word-of-mouth recommendations).
  • Give Vaseline a story arc that turns it from a forgotten product into an essential part of everyday life.

Storytelling Techniques

  • Relatability: Show everyday situations (chatting with friends, exercising).
  • Transformation: From a forgotten drawer item to a product with endless possibilities.
  • Building a community: Friends talking about their experiences and naturally sharing the word.
