Strategic approach: MARKET CONTEXT

The Mother & Child Care (MCC) market in Romania is significantly influenced by demographic and socio-economic factors.

In the absence of concrete governmental measures to encourage childbirth, many families feel unsupported in their decision to have children.

Philips Avent leads Romania’s Mother & Child Care (MCC) market with 49% unaided awareness and 50% consumer preference.

However, the declining birth rate in Romania represents a critical marketing challenge, making it harder to grow the category.

INSIGHTS

A research Philips study* revealed concerning insights* about mothers' experiences:

• 2 out of 3 mothers (72%) have less than an hour per day for themselves
• 86% feel immense pressure to be the "perfect parent."
• 74% experience heightened anxiety since becoming mothers.
• 2 in 5 mothers (37%) are deeply worried about their happiness and well-being.

*international study conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Philips in November 2023, surveying 12,000 mothers with children aged 0-3 years and 16,000 members of the general population.

#ShareTheCare – A NEW BRAND POSITIONING – A NEW ERA FOR MOTHERS, FAMILIES AND SOCIETY

Inspired from the study, in March 2024, Philips Avent launched its new global brand positioning - #ShareTheCare - encouraging families, friends and society to support new mothers and expectant parents.

Philips Avent provides innovative products that make it easier for everyone around the mother to support in baby care by caregiving to help parents prioritize their well-being and self-care, in the benefit of their babies.

#ShareTheCare global positioning empowers mothers by highlighting their true needs and inspiring collective support for their 24/7 role.

TARGET AUDIENCE

CONSUMER INSIGHT: “The less I take care of myself, the less I can care for my child".

AN AUDIENCE WITH INGRAINED ROUTINES, CHALLENGED BY PHILIPS AVENT

Core Target: Mothers aged 25–40 with children under three, who heavily rely on digital platforms (Meta, YouTube, TikTok, parenting influencers) for guidance and support.

An audience made up of mothers who have less than one hour per day for themselves, who need to become more aware of their new needs after childbirth, take care of themselves without feeling guilty and feel comfortable asking for help from those around them.

Broad Target: Adults 18–55, with high reach and affinity on social media, parenting, news and lifestyle websites.

According to Philips' international study, 88% of people recognize the sacrifices mothers make after childbirth, which impact their well-being and health. However, only 26% are willing to offer help and get involved.

The main reason for hesitation is the fear of not knowing how to properly care for a child. Additionally, 40% believe in the misconception that mothers should handle everything on their own, from childcare to household responsibilities.
