AMAZON.ES “REYES MAGOS” TV, DIGITAL, OOH CAMPAIGN (2019)
Local Insight: In Spain, the traditional gift-giving day is January 6th, when the "Reyes Magos" (Three Wise Men) bring presents to children, rather than Santa Claus on December 25th.
Context: Analysis of Q4 sales data in Spain revealed a substantial post-Christmas sales peak in the first week of January, rivaling the December 18-20 Christmas shopping peak.
Challenges:
Amazon's global Q4 campaign lacked a specific Reyes Magos campaign, missing a significant sales opportunity and failing to position Amazon as culturally relevant in Spain.
My Strategic Approach:
Developed a compelling case for EMEA and Global Marketing leadership to develop and air a Reyes Magos-specific TV ad
Proposed a cost-effective solution by adapting existing US creative assets
Recommended localizing messaging and dubbing to resonate with the Reyes Magos tradition
Results:
In the short-term, the campaign generated significant boost in Q4 sales. Exact figures are Amazon Confidential.
In the long-term, “Reyes Magos” creative became a standard component of the global Q4 campaign strategy, with a dedicated investment allocated.
