Prologue

The Scent Reserve is a premium indie fragrance brand disrupting an industry built on overpriced bottles and celebrity names.

When we met Founder Craig, they were very competent at building in-house content (UGC, static ads, BTS content) but ultimately, so was all their competitors.

Looking to diversify their ad library and shake off niche saturation, Dirty Jack were brought on to build TOF assets that were clone proof!

“We noticed a lot of our competitors were copying doing the same sort of thing as us, we were desperate for something that was a bit different.”
-  Craig Ryder
CEO, The Scent Reserve

Perfume Reimagined

Perfume is an extrordinarily extravogant niche,

and is typically associated with Chris Hemsworth taking his shirt off.

With the Scent Reserve being the antithesis to this, we needed to build campaigns that subverted all expectations.

Our Drug Raid, Threesome, and Doctor’s perfume ads broke spending records for The Scent Reserve within their Meta account.

"It's had such a good
viral
 EFFECT"
"People tag their mates. The videos are just funny. It hits a completely new audience that we wouldn’t have reached with UGC and static content alone”

- CRAIG RYDER
