The Challenge.
In FMCG categories such as household cleaning, purchasing decisions are often habitual and low involvement. Products are bought out of routine or convenience, with limited active evaluation at the point of decision, making it difficult for brands to meaningfully influence choice.
On social media, this challenge is amplified. While platforms offer scale and visibility, uncurated creator content in functional categories often blends into the feed, struggling to communicate value clearly or prompt action.
This creates a fundamental tension for marketers. If demand is largely driven by habit and price sensitivity, the role of influencer marketing can easily be reduced to surface-level awareness rather than meaningful consideration.
The objective was to interrupt habitual purchasing behaviour and demonstrate that well-executed creator content could meaningfully influence choice and drive purchase intent, even within a low-involvement, habit-driven FMCG category.
