First-of-a-kind virtual event garners 68 million impressions and 13 million views
With a plethora of players in the regional hair care space, Dabur needed to raise its profile and differentiate itself as a trusted brand in the sector.
To effectively achieve this, the brand decided to appoint celebrity Egyptian actress Heba Magdi as the brand ambassador for Dabur Amla Hair Oil.
Heba, a celebrated youth icon in the region, would stand out as a trusted and credible influencer and trend-setter for the targeted demographic. Her social media content and values are in sync with the brand, which makes her a natural choice to be the face and voice of the brand.
Matrix PR was tasked with managing a complete 360-degree integrated campaign to unveil the partnership and to create awareness and excitement around it.

Since social gatherings were still prohibited, a virtual event was the only viable option.
This would be the first time the client was hosting an event of this nature spanning several countries across the GCC.
Our research revealed that customers crave a human experience. Another study found that celebrities or popular personalities have a strong influence on the buying behavior of millennials.
Guided by this research the campaign team was confident that a Heba-led campaign would resonate well with the target audience in the region.
A key insight from the research was that we could leverage the impact of this relationship with Heba further by supporting it with additional influencer collaborations. It was, therefore, decided that the campaign and virtual event would be supported by the media and influencers from across the GCC.
Our plan was to kick-start the campaign with a unique first-of-its-kind virtual event and experience.
The tactic was to give the target audience a first-hand experience of interacting with Heba; thereby way boosting engagement and brand loyalty among the target audience.
The overarching idea was to generate a buzz around the brand and encourage the audience to connect with the brand.
