How Olay saved 21% on campaign budget through smarter UGC intelligence

Before launching a new product, Olay needed to know which creators, markets, and conversations mattered most. DeepDive turned billions of user-generated videos into clear signals that guided smarter spend and stronger advocacy.

The Challenge

Social conversations in beauty aren’t just big, they’re overwhelming. TikTok and Instagram alone drove billions of UGC views, spread across multiple geographies, creators, and sentiment shifts.

Olay wanted answers to three key questions:

The Approach

Social conversations in beauty aren’t just big, they’re overwhelming. TikTok and Instagram alone drove billions of UGC views, spread across multiple geographies, creators, and sentiment shifts.

  • Sort content by topic & keyword.

  • Classify creators into promoters, neutrals, and detractors.

  • Surface micro-influencers generating authentic brand advocacy.

Use Case 1: Micro-Influencer Identification

The Problem: Olay’s campaigns were heavily skewed toward big-name influencers, but ROI was declining.

DeepDive’s Role: By analyzing 65B+ UGC video views, DeepDive surfaced a set of micro-influencers who weren’t just posting, but actively shaping consumer advocacy.

The Outcome: Olay shifted spend and discovered these smaller creators delivered higher trust and more engagement, ultimately driving 21% savings on campaign budget.

The Impact

Use Case 2: Geo Volume Analysis

The Problem: UGC was pouring in from across the UAE, but it was unclear where brand engagement was strongest.

DeepDive’s Role: DeepDive’s geo-mapping of UGC revealed that Abu Dhabi accounted for over 55% of brand conversations, with Dubai and Sharjah emerging as secondary hubs.

The Outcome: Olay prioritized its resources geographically, aligning media spend and product seeding with the regions that mattered most.

Use Case 3: Sentiment from UGCs

The Problem: Brand perception in beauty shifts fast, and surface-level metrics don’t capture it.

DeepDive’s Role: DeepDive’s AI classified billions of UGC posts into promoters, neutrals, and detractors, extracting real sentiment rather than vanity engagement.

The Outcome: Olay gained a live view of consumer mood, enabling faster content pivots and messaging alignment.

Use Case 4: Competitive Benchmarking (NPS vs Competitors)

The Problem: Campaign success isn’t just absolute, it’s relative to competitors.

DeepDive’s Role: By aggregating sentiment and advocacy scores, we benchmarked Olay’s Net Promoter Score against key competitor brands.

The Outcome: Olay proved stronger consumer loyalty than rivals, demonstrating the ROI of their micro-influencer and geo-focused strategy.
