Olay partners with Shopee to accelerate e-commerce growth in Southeast Asia with Adult Fearlessly campaign targeting millennials

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines, Oct. 8, 2020 —  Empowering women with the confidence to navigate adulthood, P&G-owned skincare brand Olay partners with Shopee, one of the leading e-commerce platforms in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, to launch Adult Fearlessly campaign. The campaign seeks to reach and engage with digital natives in Southeast Asia, empowering millennial women to #adultfearlessly and overcome the perceived challenges of ‘adulting’ and invest in quality products catered to their skincare needs. The refreshed brand campaign will be held exclusively on Shopee and rolled out in phases across six markets including Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.

This second collaboration between Olay and Shopee builds on the previous success of Olay’s regional campaign which launched the Retinol 24 product line last April. The campaign surpassed targets by almost double due to Olay and Shopee’s hyper localised marketing strategy, enabling them to reach the right audiences. Adult Fearlessly aims to ramp up Olay’s growth momentum on e-commerce with a digital-led campaign leveraging Shopee’s marketing tools and core engagement features, such as Shopee Live stream and Shopee Games.

A study on over 16,000 consumers across Asia-Pacific revealed that 58% of millennial consumers are more influenced by online brand videos when choosing brands, including decisions about beauty and skincare needs[1]. As such, Olay teamed up with Shopee to conceptualise and co-create content, such as the campaign hero video, "Fearless with your choices", to capture the attention of millennial female consumers.

"We want to focus on how our consumers are integrating their lifestyle with their skin needs," said Lucy Moran, Olay and Personal Care Senior eCommerce Director, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa.

"As one of the top facial skincare brands in the world, we are continually innovating and advancing the way we connect with our consumers. With e-commerce driving a major shift from offline to online sales, there is potential to achieve further growth in this segment. Riding on this momentum to broaden our reach in Southeast Asia, we are partnering with Shopee once again to bring more engaging  and convenient experiences online, where consumers are able to access Olay products– all at the click of a button," she adds.

Ian Ho, Regional Managing Director of Shopee said, "The Health & Beauty category is one of the top-performing on Shopee, and the new normal has driven even more consumers to browse and buy skincare products online. We are proud to be able to support Olay in their e-commerce growth through this campaign. Our shared consumer insights and widening base of millennial users have enabled a hyperlocal strategy for Olay to deliver the best online shopping experience. We are confident in supporting Olay to achieve another successful campaign with us."

The Adult Fearlessly campaign is brought to life in the "Fearless with your choices" video, which strives to shift the mindsets of millennials as they confront their fears of turning 30. Olay seeks to inspire women by highlighting the positive aspects of this journey. With personal and financial independence that comes with age, women can make choices fearlessly, and invest in skincare products that are of good quality and value to make ‘adulting’ easier.

The Olay Super Brand Day will run from Oct 18-20. Find out more about the Olay Adult Fearlessly Campaign here

OMDIA ranks South Korea as top global 5G market

Leave a comment

LONDON, Oct. 7, 2020 — Global research company OMDIA has released the second version of its Global 5G Progress Update, March 2020 report showing that South Korea is the leading country for 5G deployment in the twenty two leading 5G countries OMDIA analyzed for their deployment of 5G technology.

The image is 5G Global Ranking March 2020
The image is 5G Global Ranking March 2020

The OMDIA research assessed the deployment progress of 5G based on operator launches, network coverage, subscriber take-up as well as 5G spectrum availability and regulatory eco-system.

Based on these factors OMDIA’s research concluded that South Korea – as it did in the 4G era – has established itself as the early market-leader for 5G technology deployment with Kuwait and Switzerland following behind.

"Korea is leading the way with adoption reaching 5.88 million at the end of March; approaching ten percent of wireless services in the market," the report says.

"However, expansive coverage rolled out by Sunrise and Swisscom in Switzerland, Ooredoo and Vodafone in Qatar and Kuwait three service providers has rivalled Korea for breadth of market coverage."

Commenting on the report OMDIA Principal Analyst Stephen Myers said:

"The global market is steadily gearing up for 5G deployment but right now South Korea is leading the way – although markets like Switzerland have also made steady progress.

"Despite the COVID pandemic we are seeing governments and regulators pushing ahead with their allocation of 5G spectrum and operators continue to launch and expand 5G network coverage.

"We can expect to see a much larger number of commercial 5G launches in major global markets in the next 12-18 months as more spectrum is released across the world."

Notes to Editors

Ranking Methodology

The ranking used in this report looks to assess the market 5G progress combine the following assessment criteria

  1. Spectrum available – what is the total spectrum that has been released to service providers for 5G use.
  2. Service provider launches – how many service providers have launched 5G commercial services. In future editions this will extend to whether 5G services from MVNO have emerged
  3. Network coverage – what proportion of the population is covered by the live 5G networks. Where specific disclosure have not been made, estimates based on announced deployment programs and coverage maps have been used
  4. 5G take-up – proportion of total mobile services active on the 5G network. This requires both a 5G enabled device and service plan. Omdia notes some service providers are bundling 5G access into existing service plans at no incremental charge. 
  5. Ecosystem – a more subjective assessment of factors that enhance the adoption of 5G services and creation of value from 5G services. This includes government policy programs, vendors activities and investment, end-user sponsorship and service provider cooperation that facilitate network deployment and service take-up

The combination of these criteria reflect the readiness in markets yet to launch services and development in markets where 5G services have been launched. While using coverage metrics does advantage small geographies, where a large proportion of the population can be covered with 100’s of base stations rather than 1,000’s or 10,000’s, broad and deep coverage remain prerequisite for the transition of services to 5G. As 5G services mature and as enterprise applications become more central to service provider offerings it can be expected the criteria for assessing 5G progress would evolve.

The criteria used reflect the foundational factors for each market (each allocated a 10% weighting)

  • How much spectrum been made available for 5G services?
  • Have carriers been able to launch commercial services?
  • Is there are supportive local ecosystem promoting 5G services?
  • The balance of the ranking is split equally between measurable indicators of 5G progress in the form of
  • Network coverage
  • Take-up

The rankings use a relative assessment, effectively assigning Korea a score of 100% for the September quarter due to its global leadership across all five of the assessment criteria:

  • Spectrum – 2,680 MHz across the 3.5 and 28 GHz bands
  • Service launches – all three Korean service providers have commercial offerings available to the mass market, and MVNO services have been launched
  • Network coverage – approximately 90% population coverage
  • 5G take-up – 4.67 million 5G subscribers, or 7% of the mobile market
  • Ecosystem – Strong government support and leading local vendor ecosystem

Sungrow Bags 800 MWp PV Inverter Solution Contract in Qatar

Leave a comment

DOHA, Qatar, Oct. 7, 2020 — Sungrow, the global leading inverter solution supplier for renewables, announced that it will power the 800 MWp Al Kharsaa project in Qatar with featured 1500V string inverter SG250HX. The project is noteworthy as the third-largest solar plant in the world and the first utility-scale solar project in Qatar. It’s planned to be fully operational before the 2022 World Cup, supporting Qatar National Vision 2030 by facilitating local economic decarbonization and sustainable development.

The 800 MW Contract Signing Ceremony
The 800 MW Contract Signing Ceremony

The 800 MWp plant is located 80 km west of Doha, Qatar, covering 1000 hectares in a tropical desert and featuring ample sunlight whereas high temperatures and strong wind. The project was awarded to a consortium of Marubeni and Total as the result of the country’s first solar tender, benefiting from a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) to supply electricity to the offtaker Kahramaa. It will represent around 10% of electricity peak demand of the country and reduce the carbon dioxide emissions of Qatar by 26 million tonnes during its lifetime.

Sungrow will supply the world’s most powerful 1500V string inverter SG250HX, which is resilient in harsh conditions given the IP66 and C5 protection capability and smart forced air-cooling technology. Compatible with bifacial modules and tracking systems, the solution allows considerable yields by leveraging the sunlight resources onsite. It enables flexible block design allowing up to 6.75 MW, significantly saving the initial investment and streamlining O&M. As one of the best-selling PV inverter solutions, SG250HX is expected to be deployed over 3 GW by the end of 2020.

As the independent power producers (IPP) of the landmark project, Marubeni from Japan and Total from France show great confidence towards the rosy prospect of the project due to prominent product solutions and 100% bankability of Sungrow.

"The Al Kharsaa project is a breakthrough in our track record and will lay the solid foundation for our robust partnership with Sungrow. High-performing products, reliable service, timely deliveries and speed of commissioning have made them a preferred partner for our growing list of assets," commented Mr. Yu Hao, Vice General Manager from Power China, the EPC of the project.

"We are proud to pioneer the first utility-scale solar project in Qatar with the best of our expertise and prop up the national commitment towards a more sustainable society. We’d like to explore more competitive projects to unlock values for stakeholders in the Middle East," said James Wu, Vice President of Sungrow.

"We are seeing a rapid change in consumer behaviour and it’s getting increasingly more difficult to keep up with the connected consumer journey, hence why it’s more important than ever for marketers to leverage customer intelligence to optimize ad spend and improve customer experiences. I am extremely happy to announce the launch of our customer intelligence platform and I would like to thank the amazing Lifesight team who made this happen," said Tobin Thomas, CEO of Lifesight.
