Expanding Omron’s Home Healthcare Reach with DRIM
Determined to embed preventive healthcare firmly into daily routines, Omron aligned with DRIM — India's premier performance-driven influencer marketing platform. Leveraging its expansive influence pool exceeding 250,000 credible creators, DRIM helped Omron move beyond clinical spaces and reach families directly.
Integrating real-life stories, educational materials, and clear communication, the social media campaign inspired consistent self-monitoring habits. Emphasizing values of trustworthiness, heightened awareness, and prompt action, Omron and DRIM jointly transformed attitudes towards preventive care, establishing it as an indispensable element in the lives of Indian households.
Challenges Faced by Omron that DRIM Aimed to Solve
Entering this social media campaign, Omron had specific goals centered on increasing its prominence outside clinical settings and cultivating stronger trust within households. The key challenges were:
1. Build household buying intent for BP and Body Composition Monitors
While Omron commanded a significant 55% market share among physicians and hospitals, the task remained to stimulate robust purchasing interest among household segments, particularly those composed of adults aged 35+. Both Blood Pressure Monitors and body composition trackers fell under a niche, technically complex category unfamiliar to many influencers. Additionally, the target demographics were largely technologically unsophisticated and wary regarding preventive health interventions. Therefore, the mission entailed raising awareness concerning the critical role of regular blood pressure surveillance and encouraging online sales via Omron's official e-commerce website.
2. Leverage influencer trust to drive preventive health behavior
Although people are aware of heart-related risks, most do not take action until they are faced with a serious situation. Omron chose influencer marketing to bridge this gap, using influencers’ strong, trusted connections with their audiences. The goal was to inform and educate people about the importance of early detection and demonstrate how Omron’s blood pressure monitors could help manage health proactively, before problems arise.
These challenges shaped a digital marketing campaign that focused on education, trust-building, and fostering genuine intent to incorporate preventive health monitoring into everyday life.
Core Strategy DRIM Implemented for Omron
Facing strict regulations surrounding healthcare endorsements, DRIM carefully designed the campaign strategy to balance full compliance with authentic communication. The core strategies were:
1. Focused influencer selection within health and fitness categories
Under strict mandates such as the UCPMP Guidelines and the IMA Act 2002, employing healthcare professionals directly for product endorsement was legally restricted. Instead, DRIM deliberately recruited influencers specialized in fitness and wellness sectors, allowing them to authentically promote preventive health measures without infringing upon existing advertising laws. This calculated approach simultaneously preserved brand credibility and ensured full compliance.
2. Prioritizing legal and regulatory safeguards
As an esteemed ASCI partner, DRIM rigorously monitored every aspect of content development to align perfectly with healthcare advertising regulations. Efforts included thorough guidance for influencers, close oversight of content output, and diligent avoidance of any claims that might contravene statutory provisions. Such measures culminated in a polished, regulation-compliant, and trustworthy campaign execution for Omron.
DRIM anchored its marketing strategy on authenticity and adherence to regulations, thereby laying a solid groundwork for Omron to resonate effectively with its targeted audience in a manner that was both ethical and highly impactful.
Campaign Flow: How DRIM Executed Omron’s Influencer Strategy
To successfully address the challenges and meet the campaign objectives, influencer marketing agency designed a structured execution plan. This tactical roadmap allowed Omron to form meaningful connections with its target audience. Commencing on April 6, 2024, and concluding on September 13, 2024, the social media campaign unfolded over four months, with the following steps:
Step 1: Goal Setting
Before starting the marketing campaign, DRIM collaborated closely with Omron to define explicit targets aimed at amplifying the brand's visibility beyond clinical settings and integrating it into daily household routines. The aims set were:
- Raise awareness about the importance of regularly home blood pressure monitoring;
- Stimulating purchase intentions specifically for Omron’s Blood Pressure Monitors and Body Composition Monitors through the brand’s official website;
- Transitioning consumer preferences away from institutional usage (clinics/hospitals) towards widespread domestic acceptance;
- Captivating the attention of the 35+ demographic segment, who often focus on preventive health but need simple, reliable solutions;
- Promote proactive health actions to prevent risks rather than waiting for critical medical situations.
Step 2: Team Creation and Influencer Selection
Understanding the strict healthcare regulations, DRIM meticulously selected social media influencers from health and fitness categories only. For this, a team of 15+ experts shortlisted influencers based on content relevance, engagement rates, and audience trust, ensuring Omron’s message reaches the audience properly. This is how selection was done:
- Utilization of DRIM's proprietary database comprising 2200+ verified health influencers and 5400+ fitness bloggers;
- Selection was backed by detailed data analysis, including prior engagement rates, audience demographics, and previous campaign performance;
- Among 56 submissions, 7 influencers were handpicked based on synergy with Omron's brand identity and demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality content.
Step 3: Content Creation and Execution
To ensure authenticity and trust, influencer platform DRIM crafted a custom content strategy for each influencer based on their niche, past audience response, and Omron’s product focus. The team conducted deep research with health experts to ensure that every fact presented was accurate, relatable, and backed by real data. Content across both product categories — Blood Pressure Monitors and Body Composition Monitors — was structured to drive awareness, intent, and inspire action among the target audience.
Key highlights were:
- Tailor-made content scripts based on each influencer’s previous high-performing topics and audience behavior;
- Blood Pressure Monitor content used soft triggers like:
- High blood pressure increases hypertension risk by 3.4x;
- Hypertension raises the chance of AFIB (atrial fibrillation) by 5x, leading to potential stroke risks;
- 1 out of 4 adults may already be hypertensive unknowingly.
- Key educational themes included:
- Overcoming the "white coat phenomenon" through home monitoring;
- Promoting Omron’s 50+ years of trusted Japanese technology with accurate measurement features;
- Encouraging early detection for better health management.
- Body Composition Monitor content explained why BCMs are essential for tracking fat loss and BMI, and how they provide deeper health insights compared to regular weighing scales;
- Real health facts only: All content was fact-checked, sourced, and curated specifically to resonate with the 35+ health-conscious audience.
Step 4: Results and Outcomes
Within four months, the social media campaign generated notable traction despite navigating a delicate health-sensitive domain. By leveraging seven select influencers, marketing agency DRIM achieved an aggregate of over 755,700 views and amassed more than 11,882 likes.
