Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Consumers feel laundry is a chore and their detergent doesn’t really help in any way, laundry brands show complicated demos which all land up looking the same and never really explain how the product helps simplify their laundry. Consumers no longer believe in complicated claims and scientific product stories, they are longing to really see how the product really works. Tide actually has the ability to pull stains out of clothes and we realized that consumers love to see this simple action. Therefore we developed the Dirt Magnets visualization. We wish to communicate to the consumer in a telegraphic way that Tide really works to make their laundry task easier by using a simple device – a Magnet to demonstrate the product action to the consumer.
