How Lola Rose built a Valentine’s Day seeding push on Douyin around its ambassador
Lola Rose ran twelve all-video posts from twelve creators between 26 January and 5 February 2024, placing watches and jewellery in couple, proposal and gifting stories. The campaign sold the meaning of the gift, not specifications or discounts.
Make the gift’s meaning the product story
The campaign used the fairy-tale view of romance associated with its ambassador as its creative frame. 方糖小绿表 (Sugar Cube green watch) and the 星运礼盒 (Star Fortune gift box), built around an ivy and natural malachite necklace and earrings, appeared inside couple dramas, emotional performances, proposal vlogs, comedy skits and lifestyle videos. “长情寓意” (symbolism of lasting affection) positioned the jewellery as a token of lasting affection, while “显白显贵” (makes skin look fairer and looks luxurious) carried the aesthetic argument. The ambassador’s same-style association anchored product interest.
The primary audience was men choosing Valentine’s gifts for girlfriends, with urban young women drawn to romantic storytelling and the ambassador’s style as the secondary audience. The Valentine’s 星运礼盒 (Star Fortune gift box) paired the necklace and earrings; the call to action stayed focused on product discovery rather than an explicit conversion prompt, and there was no discount. Travel settings and best-friend recommendations widened the lifestyle context beyond the couple scene.

The first step to copy

Open with the Valentine’s gift question
Start with “情人节送什么” (what to give for Valentine’s Day), then let a couple’s everyday story or proposal vlog introduce the product naturally. Lead with the ambassador’s same-style association and the “常青寓意常情” (evergreen ivy symbolizes lasting affection, a wordplay linking evergreen ivy with enduring love) gift meaning; use “显白显贵” (makes skin look fairer and looks luxurious) as the supporting design point rather than leading with specifications.
