About the Work

Effortless e-commerce has become the standard as consumers don’t think twice about buying single small products in one transaction. Degree saw an opportunity and was the first big U.S. deodorant brand to open a social e-commerce store. Deodorant used to be a product consumers would never have thought to buy off Instagram - it’s just something you pick up at the drugstore. Not anymore. We did it in such an unexpected way that demanded attention, spiked social engagement, and drove massive foot traffic. We needed people to not only notice but visit our store to browse our portfolio of products. Leveraging the very place people need us, we were the first to call armpits across Instagram the official place to find Degree Deodorant. Yep, armpits. Sweaty, smelly, not photogenic. Some love them, some hate them, and most of us cover them up. At Degree, what we sell is all about taking care of armpits. Not exactly the most aesthetically pleasing media image. The armpit is a big afterthought for most people – we’re always trying to cover it up, make them smell better, and for the most part, hide them. So we bought up unwanted armpit real estate no one else wanted to buy. Now every armpit is a Degree e-commerce opportunity. The campaign launched on Degree’s owned Instagram channel with a hero #ShopMyPit short-form video across both in-feed and story video formats supported by paid media, featuring the hero lead talent, celebrity fitness trainer Melissa Alcantara. In tandem, Alcantara kicked off our influencer campaign on her Instagram handle leveraging Instagram’s new ‘collaboration’ feature in partnership with Degree’s. Influencers were briefed to open virtual “stores” to sell deodorant where people need it most: their armpits—all while inspiring movement beyond limits.
