Paris, France and Vodnjan, Croatia — French luxury fashion brand DIOR Beauty recently launched an industry-first campaign with brand ambassador and global icon @Jisoo, giving @diorbeauty’s 9.6million Instagram followers access to four days of exclusive content and conversation with the muse of the new Dior Addict shine lipstick campaign over WhatsApp.
Dior collaborated with global communications platform Infobip to release this innovative omnichannel experience, the first time a brand has used WhatsApp to empower conversations with a brand ambassador.
Customers were invited to become part of the experience via @diorbeauty’s Instagram story, where Jisoo offered followers the chance to join her “exclusive WhatsApp group.”
From there, customers were taken to a dedicated landing page where they can sign up to engage with Jisoo’s chatbot over WhatsApp ahead of the new Dior Addict shine lipstick launch. Members chose the type of content they wanted to receive, from themed videos to exclusive behind the scenes footage of Jisoo’s life as a Dior ambassador.
They were also sent exclusive links to purchase the new Dior Addict shine lipstick and were given bespoke access to the new brand Instagram filter.
The campaign was managed through Infobip’s WhatsApp Business solution, enabling Dior to build a series of automated conversations and journeys as Jisoo with the help of chatbots. The rich channel means communication included images, videos, files, web links, audio files and buttons to bring messages to life and keep customers engaged.
