Cultural localization for Lindor anchored in Taiwan's 小確幸.

What I owned

Led cultural and competitive research through social listening across Taiwan, benchmarking against Godiva and Ferrero Rocher to define the 11.11 cultural thesis

Owned creative strategy and direction, concepting briefs that translated 小確幸 into platform-native creator narratives

Cast creator partners across Instagram and YouTube, negotiated contracts, and oversaw post-production and paid amplification

The Business Challenge

Lindor had limited brand recognition in Taiwan against Godiva and Ferrero Rocher, and Western luxury cues weren't translating. The brand needed cultural relevance fast, in time for 11.11.

The Strategic Insight

Lindor didn't need direct promotion — it needed cultural alignment. Instagram and YouTube were the discovery surfaces; the door in was the local idea of 小確幸 (xiǎo què xìng): small, certain happinesses you give yourself, not gifts from someone else.

The Solution

Anchored the brand narrative in 小確幸 — the Taiwanese concept of small, everyday moments of self-reward — and timed the program to the 11.11 shopping window.

Repositioned Lindor as the embodied 小確幸 — premium-yet-accessible self-reward — and timed the program to 11.11 shopping culture. Cast creators who modeled everyday self-care rituals rather than gifting tropes, so Lindor became the reward.
