Scarlett × EXO

Campaign

Scarlett × EXO

Location

Indonesia

Why It Worked

Scarlett partnered with EXO’s Chanyeol during a period of explosive K-POP demand in Indonesia, strengthening its cultural relevance and elevating brand desirability across young beauty consumers.

Scarlett amplified its national presence by integrating EXO into a series of visual campaigns spanning product launches, digital ads, and seasonal promotions. Instead of using him for a one-off endorsement, Scarlett built a cohesive narrative where EXO appeared in hero visuals, video campaigns, packaging content, and social activations. The collaboration generated strong emotional resonance among EXO-L communities, with launch posts reaching massive engagement and fueling organic amplification through fan sharing.

This approach created significant buzz and reinforced Scarlett’s premium identity in the crowded Indonesian beauty market. Campaign videos and fan-made content delivered millions of cumulative views across platforms, helping Scarlett maintain momentum as one of Indonesia’s most discussed local beauty brands. The collaboration shows how strategic K-POP partnerships can deepen consumer connection, strengthen brand heat, and drive sustained visibility far beyond a typical celebrity endorsement.
