Besito: How a Little Kiss Rekindled the Love for Caladryl Among Latina Moms in the U.S.

After acquiring Caladryl, Valeant Pharmaceuticals hired XL Alliance to help revive the brand. An agency representative reported consumers felt nostalgic about Caladryl but sales were rapidly declining.

Research revealed that Latina moms, who grew up with their mothers using “the pink stuff” on them, were particularly nostalgic about Caladryl. They were also highly active online and influenced by pharmacist recommendations.

These insights fueled the creative concept of likening Caladryl to the comfort of a mom’s kiss. Throughout the “Besito,” or “Little Kiss” campaign, mothers were shown saving the day with their magic kiss, and Caladryl was positioned as their secret “magic” tool.

“Audience insights unique to the Hispanic community led to a strong multi-platform customer experience,” one judge said.

A second judge applauded this team for translating the nostalgia insights into a clean campaign that conveyed messaging and brand attributes well.

Elements of the overall effort included a TV spot, Facebook ads and a new, mobile friendly bilingual website that features illustrated stories reminiscent of children’s books.

The campaign drove significant sales increases, a Facebook reach of 2.2 million, nearly 20 million total ad impressions, and more than 37,000 website visits. Caladryl also won distribution in Target and regained distribution in Walmart and Walgreens.
