Case study · TRESemmé Professional

5.3m impressions in an 11-day launch.

Somerce ran TRESemmé Professional's launch and rebrand as one eleven-day push: daily LIVEs, a Hot Seat series, a Keratin Live Show and a three-day Grand Opening with Ed Westwick as Tier 1 talent. The campaign reached 5.3m impressions and ran at a £500 hourly rate.

the challenge

TRESemmé Professional needed a UK TikTok Shop launch that could do two jobs at once: introduce a rebranded range and prove, inside a fixed window, that it could trade at the pace a haircare category leader needs. There was no room to ease in. The plan had to compress a full launch arc, awareness, trust, a peak moment and a lasting daily engine, into eleven days.

the approach

We built the eleven days as a single connected campaign rather than a string of separate activations, run through TikTok LIVE, affiliate and paid media at once.

Days 1–8
Daily LIVEsThe rebrand launched into a daily broadcast cadence, building trading rhythm and giving the audience a reason to come back before the peak moments landed.
Mid-run
Hot Seat seriesA recurring format built around a stylist working on a model live on camera, giving every episode a demo to watch rather than just product to buy.
Mid-run
Keratin Live ShowA dedicated broadcast built around the range's keratin story, paired with paid affiliate activation to put creator content behind the same push.
Days 9–11
Grand OpeningA three-day finale fronted by Ed Westwick as Tier 1 talent, the campaign's peak moment, engineered to convert the awareness the first eight days had built.

Paid media ran underneath the whole arc, putting spend behind the content that was already proving it converted rather than guessing which moments would land. The result was a campaign that read as one continuous story across eleven days, not eleven days of separate content.

the results

The launch reached 5.3m impressions and ran at a £500 hourly rate across the campaign, with follower growth up 4%. For a rebrand on a fixed eleven-day clock, that is a launch that built an audience and a run rate at the same time, rather than trading one for the other.

the hot seat, on air

The Hot Seat format kept a stylist working live on camera through every episode, the demo giving viewers a reason to stay through the offer rather than scroll past it.

the launch, now a daily engine

The eleven-day arc handed off into an ongoing daily LIVE cadence, the same engine we run for our other shop-operations clients, so the audience the launch built keeps hearing from the brand.
