The Brief

The 15-year-old product is a breakthrough spray that can both clean the toilet and remove its odor. Its function as a cleaning detergent has been well known but not as an air freshener.

Creative Execution

Since our target was toilet users, we reached out to them directly in the toilet. To ensure they get our message, we used toilet papers as the absolute media. They use the toilet paper at least a few times every time, which is immediately before we want them to use the product. Therefore, we not only succeeded in reaching them directly but also reminding them a few times and making the air freshener use as customary.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

For further sales growth, we encouraged its use as air freshener as well.
