Marionnaud — creation of the TikTok account from A to Z for the 40th anniversary of the brand

The context

Marionnaud is one of the leading perfumery and cosmetics brands in France. Founded in Montreuil in 1984, the brand has gone through four decades to become a key player in beauty in Europe, with more than 700 points of sale.

In 2024, Marionnaud is celebrating his 40th birthday. An anniversary that promises to be a moment of transformation as well as of celebration. The brand isn't just looking in the rearview mirror — it's preparing for the next chapter. And most of this chapter is being played out on TikTok.

Because despite an established presence on Instagram, Marionnaud did not yet have a TikTok account. A platform that she could no longer ignore — this is where 18-35 year olds now discover beauty products, trends, new brands.

Why did they contact Esekai

The 40-year challenge

The birthday was the ideal time to take this turn. Marionnaud wanted to launch his official TikTok account as part of his 40th anniversary celebration program — with a clear ambition: to make this launch an event, not a simple discreet start.

Esekai was commissioned to build and launch the TikTok account @marionnaudfrance from A to Z: content strategy, editorial line, production of the first videos, definition of the visual style, management of the first weeks of publication.

Our approach

Creating a TikTok account for a premium brand like Marionnaud is more than just opening a profile and posting videos. It is establishing an identity in a space where the rules are very different from other networks. TikTok promotes authenticity, responsiveness, the ability to surf trends — while remaining consistent with the brand's DNA.

Our first decision: not to play classical Marionnaud. TikTok users are impervious to content that is too slick, too corporate, too “advertising agency”. We built an editorial line that speaks beauty in the tone of TikTok — direct, spontaneous, useful — while maintaining the level of visual requirements that the brand requires.

What we built

Esekai took charge of the entire launch of the @marionnaudfrance account: definition of the editorial strategy, design of the TikTok visual charter, writing the scripts for the first videos, shooting and editing, publishing schedule for the first 60 days.

The first contents were designed for the anniversary: boxings from The Its and Box 40 years, contest content, behind the scenes of the shops, highlighting the 40 iconic products selected by Marionnaud. Each video was built with a strong hook and strategic hashtags — #Marionnaud40, #MarionnaudForever, #MarionnaudOnTikTok.

We also produced UGC videos with beauty creators corresponding to Marionnaud's target audience, to provide the account with authentic content from the first weeks.

The results were measured over the first 60 days after launching the @marionnaudfrance account.

The launch of Marionnaud's TikTok account was integrated into the official coverage of events for the brand's 40th anniversary — and relayed by several national media specializing in beauty and marketing.

What does this media relay mean

When the launch of a TikTok account is mentioned in the press coverage of a brand anniversary, it is no coincidence. This is a sign that the launch strategy was strong enough to become an event in itself.

The @marionnaudfrance account did not arrive discreetly on the platform. It arrived with a strong cultural moment (the 40th anniversary), content that corresponded to TikTok codes and an immediately recognizable visual identity.
