advertiser-in-arabia portfolio (Siwak.F) 2007

Brand: Siwak.F Toothpaste

Category: Pharmaceuticals/ Healthcare,

Date: 2008

Task: 

To develop a packaging facelift for the Siwak toothpaste brand to upgrade and modernize its image and appeal
Status:

•Siwak F is an Indonesian made toothpaste brand that has been present in Saudi Arabia's oral care market for the past 12 years. 

•It's key difference from other toothpaste brands is simple: it is the only brand containing the extracts of the Arak tree bark, which was traditionally used by Arabs in the region as a toothbrush… 

•Over and above the cultural/religious significance of being associated with the Siwak, the case for the brand Siwak F was made after the World Health Oragnization  recommended the use of the siwak (or miswaak as it is also called)  in 1986, and after recent research by Dr Otaybi from Saudi unlocked new areas on the systemic effects of the Miswaak; revealing its positive effects on the immunity system.  

•Overall, past performance of the brand has not been very impressive… It failed to reach out to a consumer base beyond the conservative older segment of the population, and in terms of quality perception did not succeed in attaining a high score: a major set back for a dental care product

Objective:

•To put Siwak.F in the consideration set of toothpaste shoppers beyond the traditionalists and older conservatives 

•To lure in undecided buyers who skim the shelves thru status modern and stylish 

•To smoothly incorporate the offering . 

•Offering products in thru- and value-attractive, professional  packaging 

•To induce purchase, trial and drive an expansion in shares by appealing to consumer segments that have not historically considered the brand
Consumer insights
•Siwak F Brand is: –A brand I'm not too sure about… looks cheap, and does not reassure me on the quality side either… I've never seen them do any advertising and I've hardly seen them around in any house I've visited… don't know, but if I had to choose between them and between Signal, I would pick up the brand I've known to do the job for years now immediately without hesitation –It miswak’s your system while it cleans your teeth Siwak.F is safe and clinically proved 

•Siwak F Brand wants to be: –Hmm… This is interesting… Well they've taken their package a long way… is this actually the same Siwak Brand that I used to see on the shelf and never give a second look? May be it is a quality (?) toothpaste… may be they do have something to add to the age old tradition of siwak, may be it is effective and clinically proven… it certainly gives that impression of a modern twist on traditional oral care 

Target Group

•Younger mothers and fathers… the heads of the new smaller, better exposed and less traditional Saudi family unit are less nostalgic about culture and heritage and much, much more brand savvy than past generations… 

•They are notorious for toothpaste brand promiscuity… they switch between brands very often, but keep the list of toothpaste options limited to a know and recognized multinational few… Close Up for the eccentric flavours, Signal when they feel a bit clinical, Colgate or Crest when they want to count the benefits they get out of brushing…

•Getting the kids to brush their teeth is a daily battle for mom, who has to chase them to do it every night before they head or bed, and uses every trick in the book to do it… most relevant here is how she is always seeking new, colourful flavour options to get them interested and keep them interested in the brushing…

•A brand like Siwak F is something these people would have seen in their parents' house when visiting… and it would be something they look at with a condescending smirk… it doesn't meet their quality expectations… it looks cheap and very unprofessional

RTB

•Successful merge of ingredients ( Siwak + Fluoride) position it as all in one brand for your  mouth hygiene 

•Reduces Plaque gathering on the teeth 

•Eliminates Tartar 

•Prevents Gum infection 

•And most importantly, Modern packaging that looks authentic, professional and trustworthy

Call to action

•Revitalizing the brand with a more modern, more authoritative image and the packaging will be the starting point 

•Feel the confidence that comes from a more professional looking brand of toothpaste  

•Try out Siwak F other and try out their different varieties

Strategic solution

"The Siwak Has Been Completely Redefined"

Creative solution

Upgrade &modernize ( image & appeal ):
 Key Elements 

- typography
- graphic device
- color
- strap line

The unique presence of both Siwak and Fluoride together gives double strength and better performance.

Mitsubishi :::Download an actual car

DESCRIPTION: Online scavenger hunt
BRAND: Mitsubishi 

BRAND OWNER: Mistubishi 

CATEGORY :Automotive 

REGION :Spain 

DATE :May 2009 - Dec 2008 

To promote its new small car Colt model amongst a young tech-savvy audience and to coincide with the Barcelona Motor Show, Mitsubishi wanted to create a suitably high-tech online experience.
Mitsubishi’s solution is a type of internet scavenger hunt. Users must find and download 30 parts of a car scattered around various sites in order to win a free car. 

Visitors to “BajateunColtgratis.com” (downloadafreecolt.com) find an image of the 30 parts that have been distributed around the internet in banners on main portals (such as Spanish newspaper El Pais) as well as various peer to peer sites (including eMule, eDonkey and BitTorrent). Participants must register on the site and search for and download the various parts. 

As a registered user, you only need to click on the banner with the car part and it automatically downloads to your account. Users who find more than one of the same part can swap them with other players in the exchange room created by Mitsubishi. They can also share information about how to find the parts in a forum. 

A widget provides live information of what is going on in the game as well as hints and tips

The site also features a promotional video of an actual Colt being disassembled by mechanics before the parts are distributed on the web. 

The game will continue to run for another week so late joiners will need to make up for lost time. The first person to collect all 30 pieces of car will win a Colt

Yellow Pages Testimonial TVC::: the right way to do Testimonial ads

Yellow Pages has launched Testimonial - a new campaign created by Clemenger BBDO Melbourne featuring real business owners who have benefited from advertising in the directory.

The TVC builds on the brand’s strategy of justifying to its advertisers that their investment in being in the directory is money well spent.

The ad features 23 real business owners from all over Australia, who advertise with Yellow Pages. No paid talent was used . They describe in their own words how they have benefited from it. They paint numbers on a large yellow canvass which relate to the results they have achieved.

Pearle:::Steamy room

BRAND OWNER:Pearle 

CATEGORY:Pharmaceuticals/ Healthcare 

REGION:Belgium 

DATE:May 2009 - Dec 2008 

Contact lenses are often seen as the more aesthetically pleasing alternative to glasses, but they are not always seen as being more practical. 

Optician brand Pearle was keen to emphasise the benefits of wearing contact lenses to those who are attached to their spectacles and encourage trial of their daily and monthly lenses.

Pearle created a web-based game at thesteamyroom.be which illustrated the merits of wearing contact lenses. But rather than looking at the comfort of wearing contacts, Pearle took a more humorous angle. Players get to select whether they want to check out semi-clad men or semi-clad women and then enter the respective changing room with a first-person viewpoint through a pair of rimmed glasses. As soon as you enter the room and start to see tantalising glimpses of flesh, the glasses begin to fog up and they require frantic polishing with the mouse curser to clear the view. The message reads: “there are moments when it’s better to wear contacts”. The site has a viral element encouraging users to share the game and also offers free trials of the contact lenses.
