For example, in 2012 L'Oréal Paris used search to reach a broad audience looking for information about the popular “ombre” hairstyle. This hair treatment was only done in salons at the time, but L'Oréal Paris saw the trend’s potential and developed a home market product in just a few months. In addition to the home product, L’Oreal Paris created YouTube content devoted to the topic, got widespread press coverage, and owned the search for the term—all of which established brand awareness. In the end, the very people who had alerted L'Oréal Paris to the trend were shown search ads that linked to helpful marketing, right at the moment of interest.
