SKYN® Condoms Launches "Set The Mood" Skill On Amazon Alexa

ISELIN, N.J., June 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Ansell, a global leader in protection solutions and the makers of LifeStyles^® and SKYN^® Condoms ("SKYN"), announces today the launch of an exclusive skill via Amazon Alexa, "Set the Mood." The skill will play a role in SKYN's "Feel Everything" campaign, which is designed to highlight the sensitivity of the non-latex polyisoprene condom by activating experiences designed to heighten all five senses.

The "Set the Mood" skill will offer users playlists, accessible via Amazon Alexa. Given the nature of SKYN products, Alexa Skill audiences of 18 or older are recommended. To build the program, SKYN partnered with four cutting-edge DJs to produce original songs and curated playlists inspired by the five unique SKYN condom varieties. Consumers, through exclusive SKYN songs and playlists, can set the mood at any moment to deliver a multi-sensory product experience.

"As a condom brand to innovate and market an exclusive Alexa skill, we are thrilled to work with these talented DJs to provide our users with songs and playlists that help elevate and enhance the sexual experiences," says Jeyan Heper, President & General Manager, Sexual Wellness Global Business Unit at Ansell. "With the launch of the exclusive 'Set the Mood' skill, we are providing our consumers with an additional sensory element to accompany their most intimate moments by coupling technology, music and safe sexual practices."

Alexa's skill was developed by Ansell's North America creative agency, AMP Agency, within their Creative Technology department.  Leveraging Amazon's software development kits (SDK), AMP utilized the framework to create a custom skill experience that allows consumers to seamlessly leverage Alexa's voice technology in their most intimate moments. "We've had a long history of partnering with Ansell to create cutting edge experiences and we are pleased to continue that tradition with the Alexa App," says Gary Colen, AMP's CEO. "As Ansell continues to innovate in the healthcare field, AMP will continue to leverage new technologies to surprise and delight their customers."
