In the competitive world of haircare, Curlsmith, a brand dedicated to curly hair, faced the challenge of standing out and educating consumers about their unique product offerings. To achieve this, they partnered with Jellyfish Commerce and Amazon Ads to create a dynamic omni-channel strategy that would elevate their brand presence and engage their target audience effectively.

Curlsmith aimed to increase brand awareness and educate consumers about their unique selling propositions (USPs) in a crowded market. They sought to leverage Amazon Ads' premium inventory and first-party insights, including innovative placements like Sponsored TV, to reach and engage their audience.

In collaboration with Jellyfish Commerce, Curlsmith crafted a comprehensive strategy that emphasized the power of Sponsored TV within a full-funnel approach. This guided consumers seamlessly through the purchasing journey. As a first-time user of video ads on Amazon, Curlsmith qualified for the Video Incentive Program (VIP), allowing them to produce a high-impact video ad in partnership with Amazon and a trusted third-party production team. The 30-second video, showcased on Sponsored TV, highlighted Curlsmith's best-selling products, including their newly launched hair diffuser. The creative script emphasized Curlsmith's unique emotional appeal, setting the brand apart from competitors.
This strategic collaboration not only boosted Curlsmith's brand awareness but also significantly enhanced consumer engagement, demonstrating the power of innovative advertising solutions in driving business success.

Cannes Lions 2026 signaled a shift from AI experimentation to organizational redesign. The focus moved from what AI can do to how it reshapes teams, operating models, and the structure of marketing itself. Across sessions and award-winning work, a clear idea emerged: marketing is increasingly being rebuilt as a connected, always-on system rather than a sequence of standalone campaigns.
