Dove’s Guerrilla Marketing at Coachella
Dove’s Guerrilla Marketing at Coachella
During this year’s Coachella, concertgoers complained about the overwhelming body odor at the festival on TikTok. In response, Dove, with help from Shadow, used the viral moment to promote its new Whole Body Deo Cooling Spray, despite not having a Coachella sponsorship. The brand deployed a street team with samples to parking areas, shuttle stops, and local hot spots, resulting in 1,300-plus people trying out the deodorant. Dove also leveraged a three-hour aerial flyover with a branded plane banner that read: "SMELLS LIKE YOU NEED US - DOVE DEO."
