In order to understand the Marketing Strategy of Dove, our students, Anurag Shisode, Tanzim Shafi, and Moinuddin Jetpurwala made a comprehensive analysis of the brand’s online presence, buyer persona, and campaign strategy to overcome such problems and media planning. Before we take a deeper dive into the research, let us understand a bit more about the company.

About Dove

Dove is a personal care brand owned by Unilever, the parent business. In 1957, it was first made available to the British public. It belongs to the FMCG sector, and its main selling feature is the fact that it has been demonstrated to be a single product with several uses, such as a moisturizer and a straightforward treatment for dry skin. Men and women of every size, shape, and age make up their customer base. Due to the higher cost of its products compared to those of its rivals, the brand has mostly targeted consumers in the upper and upper-middle classes.

Dove’s heritage is founded on moisturization – proof, not promises, propelled Dove from a Beauty Bar to become one of the world’s most popular beauty products. Dove now offers a variety of products, including body washes, hand and body lotions, facial cleansers, deodorants, shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products, all of which are based on the universal premise of genuine care.

Dove sells its products in around 150 countries and its logo is a silhouette profile of the brand’s namesake bird.

So, now as we have an idea about the company, let’s move further.
