The Challenge
Playtex Sport had an uphill battle to face with their line extension launch of pads, liners, and combo packs. With this new innovation and Walmart’s belief in the items, Playtex Sport was awarded multiple endcaps throughout the year and increased points of distribution on the new forms. However the brand under-delivered vs. expectations.
Our objective was to develop a Walmart exclusive, value-driven strategy that looked beyond traditional everyday low prices to counteract potential share loss for tampons at Walmart and help Playtex Sport disproportionately win.

Our strategy was to communicate Playtex’s superior benefits, our exclusive value at Walmart and partnership with Rimmel mascara to deliver what young female millennial shoppers really found valuable: a beauty bonus. Playtex tampons and Rimmel mascara were the powerful pair that allowed her to keep moving!
STAY ACTIVE RESULTS
Massively successful, our Playtex program grew the tampons segment at Walmart, grew share for the Playtex brand and delivered double-digit sales lifts for both Playtex Sport and our partner, Coty.
