Neutrogena taps into ‘steamy’ #BookTok trend with sultry short stories

  • Neutrogena launched its recent Vitamin C serum with a steamy campaign featuring media personality and content creator Serena Kerrigan, in keeping with information shared with Marketing Dive.
  • As a part of the campaign, Kerrigan wrote two tantalizing short stories meant to make consumers “glow,” very like the serum. The stories can be found for download on Wattpad, a site where users can independently publish works for public consumption.
  • The activation takes advantage of the #steamybooktok” trend, which has garnered over 4.7 billion views, in keeping with press materials. The “Bank Your Glow” short stories benefit from the growing popularity of romance novels and the web community fueling their popularity.

Neutrogena is leaning into sex appeal with its newest activation. Kerrigan, who has built her online presence around self-confidence, provides the campaign a way of self-assured humor. Additionally, Kerrigan claims the short stories are based on her real life experiences, something her over 608,000 TikTok followers may find intriguing.

In one story — which Kerrigan partially reenacts on TikTok — a personality is locked outside an apartment, half-clothed after a one-night stand. In the second, a lady bumps into her college crush during a weekend within the Hamptons. Both stories emphasize the “glow” each character feels afterward in a nod to the product’s advantages. 

Neutrogena has tapped into TikTok trends up to now. In June, the brand turned to nostalgia with a campaign inspired by “Beverly Hills, 90210” and other ‘90s artifacts to attach with millennials.

The campaign leans into sexually suggestive promoting, an age-old tactic that’s currently seeing a resurgence, albeit with mixed results. American Eagle is currently embroiled in a scandal surrounding an ad featuring Sydney Sweeney, while Hawaiian Tropic nodded to the “Kama Sutra” with web star Alix Earle and Doritos parodied retro adult movies with Walton Goggins without the controversy. 

Brands have been embracing romance novels for years, especially as print sales of such books have greater than doubled between 2020 and 2023. Smoothie King released a novel written with the assistance of ChatGPT a couple of watermelon smoothie in May. Way back in 2018, Wendy’s used Wattpad to publish romance novels. 

Kenvue, Neutrogena’s parent company, had a Q1 revenue of $3.74 billion, a virtually 4% year-over-year dip, in keeping with an earnings call. However, Neutrogena was a vivid spot, with household penetration amongst Gen Z consumers growing 30 basis points. This was largely attributed to the launch of its “Beauty to a Science” brand positioning in Febuary, which generated significant social media buzz.
