The Objective

During the critical holiday season, ignite awareness around and intent for the premium fragrance Good Girl among French beauty audiences. 

How can TikTok foster a community in France around Carolina Herrera Good Girl, while driving tangible business impact in Q4? 



The Solution

Creating TikTok-first content, implementing a full funnel strategy and being the exclusive launch partner in France of TikTok's By Invitation Only experiential series. 


Creative for TikTok: Branded & creator content took a TikTok-first lens, the foundation for strong performance. This included scroll-stopping hooks with the égérie Karlie Kloss coupled with localized creator Spark Ads. 


Full Funnel Placement Strategy: Top Feed (Reach) grew new audiences, IFV (Focused View) nurtured preference, Catalog Ads (Sales) drove intent. Full funnel lift results from the BLS validated this winning strategy during the competitive holiday season. 


Community Experience: Carolina Herrera was the exclusive launch partner in France of TikTok’s By Invitation Only. 15x French creators who embodied the Good Girl persona were invited to a hidden, NYC-style speakeasy restaurant in Paris. Experiences including the multi-course dinner, live pianist and fragrance engraving activation cultivated connection among the Good Girl community, while being the backdrop for earned and paid content creation.
