Downy and Grey Group Hong Kong introduce “Scent by Downy”

What’s a text message to you? Cold, straightforward, and otherwise devoid of life? P&G's fabric softener brand Downy wants to mix things up with its new “Scent by Downy” campaign.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1676EXbeX8&feature=youtu.beIn commemoration of the brand’s foray into China, Downy and Grey Group Hong Kong introduced "Scent by Downy". Because scent can trigger emotions and the brand found a way to communicate and introduce these scents in one of the most popular forms of communications – text messaging.The concept is simple, Downy partnered with a digital scent technologist in Japan, and chose 100 frequently texted words. These act as keywords to trigger one of the 3 scents built into the scent device. Users download an app and connect it via bluetooth to their phones and the scents are activated whenever a keyword is used in a text message.This took place on 20 December, 2017, a one-off special 24-hour promotion deal for the device during the new year season on TMall flagship store and the 5,000 gift sets were available on a first come first serve basis.[gallery link="file" ids="209779,209781,209782"]CreditsAnjali Jain.
