THE RESULTS

The Brief

.As part of a drive ​to reduce paid spend on TV ​media, River proactively proposed ​to develop Superdrug’s social channels as the key touchpoints with its audience. The objective was to focus both on engagement (front-of-mind/brand) and conversion (tangible sales).

The Strategy

River developed ​the SDTV concept and launched ​
it on YouTube in 2020 – as a highly engaging and commercially optimised format (with the majority of revenue derived from supplier funding) to communicate the essence of Superdrug and its relevance to the audience.

The Creative

SDTV takes the shape ​of an episodic topical ‘TV show’ ​
that works standalone but also as cut-downs used across the social channels (eg Instagram) in an optimised way. It utilises influencers and Superdrug staff expertise in its choice of presenters and guests.​
