Made five little tubes one pretty big deal.
CHALLENGE
Carmex is one of the most respected lip care brands on the planet. However, they’re best known for their line of medicated products, even though they had a complete line of Daily Care products, and had never launched a new product in the novelty category targeted toward a younger, more diverse audience. Adding to our challenge was how to activate the newest big point of difference—the product form.
SOLUTION
To celebrate the new small size, we just couldn’t contain ourselves.
We dramatized that being small is kind of a big deal. In other words, Minis is BIG!
Big flavor...Big fun...Mini size.
And BIG NEWS for key retail customers and consumers.

Five Tubes onYouTube
From :06 YouTube bumpers – to CTV :15s, Minis are making a bold splash on screens all over the place. It’s kind of their superpower.
Give us a LIKE ❤️
Taking the Minis onto the biggest platform in social media.
TikTok & REELS are the newest thing that’s blowing up the social media world. We love how creative and inclusive it is. It makes perfect sense to bring this idea to this platform and ask TikTok to show us how BIG are Minis in where they live.
Minis is Big in the streets
We knew that in order for people to really understand just how big these little tubes of goodness were, they had to see just how cute they were for themselves, so we literally went to the streets with an extensive road tour of three major markets. We showed up on the streets of NYC, all around Chicago, and in the picturesque landscape of Northwest Arkansas, Walmart’s backyard.
Green screens are always fun.
We offered visitors in every market we visited a little keepsake photo as a souvenir that they could share with friends, post on social media, or just keep for themselves. It was the ultimate expression of making them part of the idea.
This fully integrated launch delivered over 5 million impressions that drove 20% sales increases, which was 10% greater than the category. We can safely say that we have effectively helped this new product make a mark on an extremely competitive category and positioned it to win the hearts and lips of key retail customers and consumers, including the younger, more diverse novelty target in ways that no other lip care product has done before. And we think that’s a pretty BIG deal.
