ADA is a data and artificial intelligence company that designs and executes integrated digital, analytics, and marketing solutions.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Amorepacific Group, a South Korean beauty and cosmetics conglomerate, had focused primarily on driving offline sales at their retail stores, utilising digital marketing only for brand awareness campaigns. It was an effective strategy for them, with their major brands, Sulwhasoo and Laneige, being highly successful in South Korea.

Amorepacific responded by pivoting to online sales in Southeast Asia (SEA), but without prior experience in eCommerce nor the region, they turned to ADA to build a strong digital presence, persuasive creative assets, and successful promotional messages.

Through this campaign with ADA, Amorepacific Group achieved:
The success of this campaign demonstrates the value of ADA’s data-first approach to deliver impactful business value for clients.
