HENKEL

Online Listening

Overview

Henkel Consumer Goods, Inc. (Henkel) engaged Nativa, their Hispanic Agency of Record, to establish a Hispanic marketing strategy for several of their best-selling brands, including Dial, Gliss, göt2b, Renuzit, Schwarzkopf, and Tone. Henkel, recognizing the importance of a strong commitment to the Hispanic community for continued growth and success, aimed to avoid common Hispanic marketing missteps, such as stereotypical approaches or assuming all Hispanics speak Spanish.

Approach

Nativa utilized O.Y.E. technology, a proprietary social listening platform, to set a benchmark at project kickoff, allowing each brand to gauge their standing in online conversations among Latino consumers. The platform monitored Hispanic online conversations daily, evaluating how Henkel’s Hispanic marketing activities influenced overarching goals like share of voice (SOV) and sentiment.

Results

Due to these marketing efforts, Hispanic consumers can easily find and engage with each brand, regardless of the language they speak. Nativa determined that there was no need to create separate Spanish language social channels, as Hispanics were effectively targeted using existing general market channels. Content shared and liked heavily at significantly lower costs compared to similar general market campaigns.
