Execution included:
Creating campaign-specific content around moments like Superdrug All Stars, Halloween, and Christmas
Filming in-store, around London, and even on the tube to create high-reach, topical content
Partnering with Superdrug Spotlighters influencers to generate authentic, user-driven content

The Outcome
2M+ people reached in just six months
+25% growth in social following
Supported 1.3M in-store treatments during 2023
