An Alien Hired Us!
Launching Nebuluxe, the Out-of-This-World Beauty Soap
Our advertising agency, Kinza, was approached by an alien. Yes, an actual alien! The luminous visitor claimed to be from Nebula X9, a galaxy famed for its flawless skin and eternal youth. They wanted help launching Nebuluxe, a soap that delivers otherworldly beauty within a day. The catch? Overusing it makes users less intelligent. Intrigued, we accepted the challenge and got to work crafting a campaign as unique as the product itself.
LAUNCH STRATEGY
▪ Alien Themed Beauty Fair
"Beam Down to Beauty"
Event Concept - Host a dazzling beauty fair in Colombo with an extraterrestrial twist.
UFO Booths: Design UFO shaped sampling booths where visitors can try Nebuluxe.
▪Brand Mascot - NEBULI the Alien
We created Nebuli, a glowing, quirky alien who’s a beauty guru but hilariously forgetful. Nebuli became the face of Nebuluxe, showing both the soap’s miraculous effects and the side effects of overuse in a playful way.
Marketing Channels & Strategies ☕
▪TV Commercials
Concept-
A struggling Sri Lankan with dull skin and hair is beamed up by Nebuli, who gifts them Nebuluxe. One use transforms them into a glowing beauty, but they amusingly forget small things like their phone or what they were doing. Nebuli winks at the camera: “Use wisely, Earthlings!”
Enhanced Social Media Campaign for Nebuluxe
▪Reels/TikTok Trend
(Hashtag: )
Concept - Users showcase their glowing transformations after one use of Nebuluxe, ending with humorous “forgetful” moments (e.g., forgetting names, walking into the wrong room).
Interactive Twist: Add a “Before & After” trend filter showing dull skin transitioning to radiant beauty, with captions like “Brains or beauty? You decide!”
▪Memes
Create memes around the trade off between intelligence and beauty, with humorous captions,
“That moment when you look flawless but forget where you parked your UFO.”
“Sri Lanka’s glow-up soap- Beauty first, brains later!”
▪Influencer Marketing
Glow-Up Challenges
Partner with Sri Lankan beauty influencers to demonstrate their transformation using Nebuluxe, ending with a comedic forgetful twist.
Skits: Collaborate with TikTok comedians for funny short videos where Nebuli saves their beauty but hilariously causes them to forget simple tasks.
Interactive Lives - Influencers host live Q&A sessions as “Nebuluxe Ambassadors,” jokingly answering questions while acting slightly scatterbrained.
▪Story Filters -
Create an AR filter that gives users glowing, luminous skin with a text overlay- “Warning: Beauty comes with a price!”.
▪Alien Tutorials:
Create short “tutorial” videos featuring Nebuli teaching humans how to use the soap with their quirky alien humor.
▪Street Marketing
Install talking holographic alien statues in Colombo, Galle, and Kandy.
Statues hand out samples and say, “Take this, Earthling. Experience Nebula X9’s beauty if you dare!''
▪Creative Product Packaging
Futuristic, glowing soap boxes with the tagline
"Warning: Use Responsibly. Beauty First, Brains Later."
▪Jingle
"Nebuluxe! Nebuluxe! The soap for your looks!
You’ll glow, you’ll shine but don’t overdo the hooks!
