Allergan Boosts Online Presence and Engagement

Allergan Boosts Online Presence and Engagement

Challenge

Allergan, a global pharmaceutical company that is committed to cosmetic medicine, wanted to increase brand awareness and product exposure across 3 markets – Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines. Apart from just growing its social media presence, the brand also aimed at delivering more sales leads to its network of clinics in the region.

However, with such service offerings came advertising regulations which the brand had to adhere to, preventing branded direct-to-consumer communications.

Strategy

The campaigns ran across all levels of the marketing funnel, driving brand awareness while pushing for conversions. Comprehensive testing was also conducted to implement different methods of copywriting to the content. This is to discover the best way to deliver the message while still complying with advertising regulations. These tests also provided insights to what type of messaging would appeal best to the intended audience. 

To widen the brand’s social share-of-voice, an educational method of promoting the brand through sharing information about existing perceptions or misconceptions related to their service and products was implemented. Not only does this product knowledge help strengthen brand awareness, it also helps build credibility and trust among the audience; creating a strong foundation to push customers further down the funnel, towards conversions.

Execution

Creatively-Regulated Content

Content in this industry is heavily regulated by Facebook moderators, so the approach was to focus on showcasing the benefits of the product. As the ads were not allowed to be too personal to the users, the posts focused on attractive design and empathising copy instead.

 

The posts encouraged a positive lifestyle and introduced Allergan’s products as part of that. Discussions about the treatments available were started through the social platform, and statistics were used to fight common misconceptions about the product.

Lead Generation Through Landing Pages

Apart from product education and brand awareness that was done through the social media platforms, leads were also generated for the brand through customised landing pages. These tactical pages focused on pushing out the brand’s seasonal offers and promotions. These landing pages complimented the awareness that was built through the social media platforms, pushing customers further down the conversion funnel.
