Dove launched a digital marketing campaign called "Showeroke" to promote its new Dove Go Fresh product and expand its customer base. The campaign invited women to upload videos of themselves singing in the shower while using a Dove Go Fresh product. YouTube was used as the main platform, and a microsite called "Shower Remixer" allowed users to customize shower scenes. The top video performers then sang live at an event, increasing brand loyalty and product penetration for Dove Bar and body wash. The campaign was successful in achieving Dove's business objectives.
