The use of celebrities like actors, actresses, singers, athletes, beauty contestants, and socialites for the advertisement of cosmetics and beauty products are used as a strategic marketing tool for a long time. There is strong public interest associated with renowned personalities (Worraporn Pudchong, 2013) and their visual appearances strike strong trust and credibility to the product (Belch and Belch, 2007). They act as thought leaders or opinion leaders to influence the general public (Passornnun Anekthammakul, 2010).
SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprise) or SMEs began using this marketing strategy to grow their business. Researchers in this study have selected a product named SnailWhite to analyze the marketing and communication strategy. At an initial stage, the company was started as ODM (original equipment manufacturer) to produce various skin creams; subsequently, the company has taken an initiative to develop its product by bringing Snail Slime ingredients to create a selling point for their product in less than five years from its launch. The company grew with sales of over 100 million baht in the first period and had generated revenue of 90 million baht from 40 million baht by applying its unique marketing strategy of bringing more than 60 celebrities to its people. The company has received numerous applauds and awards like an award from the Cosmopolitan magazine in the field of "Best facial sheet mask" in Cosmo Kiss Beauty Awards 2015, the award of best products for health and beauty products in 2016, an annual Health, Wellness and Beauty Award 2015 (HWB Award 2015) in the field of Best of The Best Award and The Best Selling Natural Ingredient Moisture Cream Award organized by Watson Health and Beauty store. Thus, there is a need to study the strategies used in the famous marketing communications of SnailWhite, to learn business marketing tools from SnailWhite, which can act as a guide for various beauty products in the future.
The document discusses the impact of digital media transformation in ASEAN countries. It notes that while ASEAN is currently not a top global leader in digital media, it has the potential to become one of the top 5 digital regions by 2025 if effective digital policies are implemented. The transition from analog to digital media has faced challenges like lack of vision, political and economic disparities, and limited private sector funding. However, the growth of digital connectivity, online services and a young population have supported economic and social developments. The document recommends establishing an independent advisory board to help ASEAN establish coordinated digital strategies and policies to better compete globally.
