A roundup of recent and ongoing digital campaigns on China’s social media, featuring Olay, Tiffany & Co., Lancôme, De Beers, and Yves Saint Laurent.
Olay#
American skincare company Olay has launched a game on WeChat that roughly translates as “Fair and Rosy Skin, Show Your ‘Meng-ness’ Cheek to Cheek” (meng, 萌, is a neologism derived from Japanese anime meaning cute and innocent). In the game featuring actor Li Dongxue from the smash-hit Chinese drama Empresses in the Palace, users are asked to "put their cheeks against Li’s" (up against a photo of him on the smartphone), to make Li "blush" and give a score for how “meng” the users are. The users can then share their results on their WeChat Moments for the opportunity to win WeChat red envelopes.

Yves Saint Laurent#
Shortly following its kissing habit survey, YSL continued the “An Invitation to Kiss” theme by releasing a mini-movie that features six couples, each of which corresponds to one lip gloss color from the Gloss Volupté collection. The brand invites its Weibo followers to view the mini-movie, share their love stories, and tag their lovers for a chance to win a lip gloss.
