Procter and Gamble, China
Crest Whitening Toothpaste
360 digital campaign
The Challenge:
Reposition Crest Whitening toothpaste in China from an Oral Care to Beauty Care brand, while also increasing product awareness and market share.
The Insight:
In China a smile is an indication of confidence, and white teeth are the perfect vehicle to deliver that confidence. It also represents a universal symbol for true beauty and something that is natural with no need for make-up.
Creative Strategy:
Using a renown Chinese stylist, Tony Li, we announced a new and unique beauty trend – Your Smile. It started with a countdown to a fashion show where the lucky attendees would find out from Tony Li the latest and most natural beauty secret. The campaign evolved into a contest to find a brand ambassador for Crest – the girl with the perfect smile! Touchpoints included email, display, microsite, SNS, Digital OOH and POS and mobile.
* The work shared here represents a small portion of a fully integrated cross-media business pitch. The pitch successfully secured the digital business of P&G China. Client confidentiality prohibits sharing further brand case study information.
