Unilever hired Buttermilk

2025 ยท Personal care and hydration / wellbeing

Unilever handed one agency three separate brands, TRESemme UK, Liquid I.V. and Simple Skincare UK, each needing its own year-round creator programme.

On the public record

The problem is documented by somebody with nothing to gain from the agency winning the work.

How we know

The appointment on record covers creator programmes across all three brands, won on a competitive pitch, reported by both the UK and US editions of Campaign on the same day.

Who says soCampaign. Worth reading beside the three other Unilever rows on this sheet, which are three different agencies on other Unilever brands. Read it
A second sourceCampaign ran the story in both its UK and US editions on the same day with the same three brands named. Buttermilk staff also posted the win publicly on LinkedIn, which confirms the agency side but is not independent.
What the agency was asked to doNot published as a quoted brief. On record: Buttermilk was picked to lead creator programmes across three Unilever brands, TRESemme UK, Liquid I.V. and Simple Skincare UK.
How that happenedCampaign reports the appointment without describing a pitch, review or incumbent. Do not assume a process ran.
How long it tookReported 16 December 2025. No pitch length, start date or term given.
Recorded asUnilever (TRESemme UK, Liquid I.V., Simple Skincare UK)
Watch out for: No pitch, incumbent or contract term is reported, so claim none. The word used is creator programmes, not agency of record, so do not upgrade it. TRESemme UK also appears on this sheet under Weber Shandwick for an earlier period, so check dates before describing either as the incumbent.
← Every case

Every case here carries the one link that proves it, and names who said it. Where that is the agency describing its own win, the card says so rather than hiding it. Cases where nobody ever documented a reason are not on this page at all. Brought to you by Influencer Advisory, your influencer marketing partner for supplement, health and beverage brands.
