Isobar wins SK-II's digital across APAC

ASIA-PACIFIC - Procter & Gamble (P&G) has reportedly awarded Isobar the digital duties of its SK-II skincare brand across the region.

According to sources close to the account, Isobar is to focus on two main digital themes for the brand: e-commerce and e-counseling.

The e-commerce portion of the account – which will be focused on cultivating SK-II’s marketability online – is believed to be handled by Isobar’s Japan office. E-counseling, a digital service that helps consumers identify which products work best for their skin types, will be led out of Korea. Australia is also expected to play a leading part for the account, a source said.

The Japanese-based brand is regarded as the up-market skincare line for P&G-owned cosmetics company Max Factor.

In the region, SK-II additionally works with creative agency Leo Burnett.

In December last year, Carat/Isobar was named Network of the Year, with the Aegis agencies racking up the highest score aggregated over selected categories.
