OPILL + CHILLHOUSE: NAILING A BRAND PARTNERSHIP

The challenge

Opill® is America’s first FDA-approved over-the-counter daily birth control pill, flipping the script on reproductive health access. Getting a daily birth control pill no longer requires a prescription, an appointment or permission. Just you.

A cultural milestone like Opill deserves a cultural moment. In forging a brand partnership for Opill, our objective was to normalize and destigmatize birth control access by reframing it as an empowered act of self-care, not a clinical errand. We also wanted to keep expanding awareness of Opill on social more than two years after FDA approval, reaching new audiences with education around Opill usage and reinforcing that it’s 98% effective when taken at the same time every day.

Enter Chillhouse, the press-on nail brand known for unapologetic self-expression and feel-good rituals. If Chillhouse champions bold self-expression at your fingertips, Opill champions unapologetic reproductive autonomy. The brand partnership was rooted in a shared truth: Self-care is power.

The solution

Together, we launched three limited-edition Opill x Chillhouse nail sets designed to turn hands into conversation starters. In addition to selling the nails on Chillhouse.com, we created a branded Amazon homepage on Chillhouse’s storefront to ensure a seamless purchase of both ChillTips and Opill.

And because empowerment should extend beyond aesthetics, for every set sold, Perrigo donated a one-month supply of Opill to the New York Birth Control Access Project, translating cultural buzz into tangible access.

On October 9, 2025, we brought the partnership to life with an immersive, culture-forward event at the newly renovated Chillhouse Café. For four hours, we transformed Chillhouse Soho into the ultimate “Opill & Chill” destination, fusing beauty, education and access.

The day began with an exclusive VIP preview attended by 11 journalists from top-tier consumer and lifestyle media as well as 16 influential creators. When doors opened to the public, a line wrapped around the block. Guests entered a fully branded, visually cohesive environment blending Chillhouse’s signature aesthetic with Opill’s bold messaging. Educational materials, sample distribution stations and co-branded merchandise ensured the space felt culturally fluent rather than clinical.

Guests heard directly from Dr. Charis Chambers, MD, Eli Rallo, best-selling author and content creator, and The New York Birth Control Access Project, reinforcing our shared commitment to expanding contraceptive access.

The first 200 guests received complimentary applications of the limited-edition Chill Tips, instantly turning manicures into message boards.

Influencer amplification ensured that even when the event was over, the buzz was not. Eli Rallo, Dr. Charis Chambers and Santina Rizzi produced 9 pieces of content, while 13 more influencers shared additional organic content, generating 22 unique pieces of content in total.

By merging beauty culture with health education, we turned a product launch into a visible, wearable, social-first declaration of reproductive autonomy. According to Chillhouse, this became their most successful brand collaboration to date. By embedding reproductive health into a space known for bold self-expression, we proved that education and empowerment can live comfortably inside culture.

The results

The Opill x Chillhouse partnership exceeded objectives across awareness, education, retail impact and cultural normalization.

On launch day, we educated more than 300 consumers onsite and distributed 350 product packs. By mid-afternoon, we ran out of nail sets. Post-event, approximately 1,500 limited-edition sets sold through Chillhouse.com and Amazon, converting buzz into measurable retail action.

The cultural ripple effect extended far beyond the pop-up. Owned content generated 10,900,058 views across Instagram and TikTok, while influencer content drove 26,739,731 additional views, bringing total campaign views to 37,639,789.

Eli Rallo alone delivered 16.2M views, including an 8.9M-view TikTok that sparked a follow-up organic video about birth control. Santina Rizzi contributed 6.9M views, and Dr. Charis Chambers added 3.6M, reinforcing both reach and credibility.
