Dove is considered a people-centric brand which frequently focuses on using language that establishes an emotional connection with women by encouraging and motivating them to be the real best version of themselves as they naturally and authentically are in through storytelling and varied research case studies. Their visual identity has always been that of tenderness and elegance which can be easily seen from the brand's logotype, having a calligraphic style and a slight italic. To differentiate itself from its competitors, Dove has been involved in various marketing campaigns which are stated as follows:

•  Evolution Film Launched on Youtube (2006): It confronted on the use of makeup and photoshops to distort's women's bodies. In the video, makeup is put on a model along with transformation of her hair to make her look almost unrecognisable. Dove believes that Evolution helped us encourage positive body image in women everywhere by exposing the truth behind the media's magic tricks and showing them that our perception of beauty is distorted. This campaign seemed more about improving the portrayal of women in the media which can be taken as a great tactic to improve the brand experience for the customer.

• Dove Stories #ShowUs: Dove has started a conversation on social media asking women to share their own stories and utilise #ShowUs to post video/picture displaying their real beauty. This campaign is termed engaging because it offers value and inspires women to be naturally themselves.

• Dove Face Test Campaign: These advertisements displayed a women who washed half of her face with generic soap and the remaining face with dove soap. The portion washed with Dove would display a clear, clean and moisturised complexion whereas the other side remained dry and featured soap residue.

• Campaign in Association with Vague India: A photoshoot campaign had been organised under this to display how women from different corners of India have their own beauty. They made a series of video campaigns to break the stereotypical definition of beauty where women with different skin tone, physique, hair colour, length, shape as well as varied fashion attire came in front of the camera to speak that they felt confident as well as beautiful from inside by utilising dove and having smooth skin and hair.

• Choose Beautiful Campaign: It was basically a survey which had signboards depicting "Average" and "Beautiful" put on gateways of shopping centres to see how women across the globe considered themselves. The video clip displayed women with different getups some confused over which entrance to choose while others awkwardly entering through the average door. At the end, when the women were being interviewed, they stated with a smile that they would confidently move through the beautiful door if given another chance.
