A skincare brand in the affordable segment will launch a breakthrough whitening serum for beauty beginners from 18 to 25 years old. The product promises to be ten times more effective than other affordable whitening serums with our trademark technology and formula.

Our most significant barrier for trial in this new launch is the old-fashioned and irrelevant brand image due to inactive communication and lack of product innovation during the past five years. Concerned that consumers will not welcome the hero product, the brand plans to use KOLs as the primary communication channel to change its brand image and launch new products successfully.

To come up with the most optimal KOL strategy, you can choose available sources or qualitative/ quantitative research to :

1. Find out the key trends and content consumption behavior in terms of the target audience's beauty content and KOL content.
2. Find out the influence of KOLs on the purchase decision of the target, especially in the beauty industry.
3. Suggest how to choose brand ambassadors and other KOLs in the campaign.
4. Propose a KOL-led content strategy to achieve the brand objectives (renew brand image and launch product)
