Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Raise awareness of Ariel in China (a market where its awareness is low). And increase its sales in key cities across the country with a minimal budget. Ariel is a challenger brand with low awareness. The laundry category is usually perceived as a necessary boring chore so we wanted to find a fun way to bring to life the powerful benefit of new Ariel’s liquid detergent. We create a game to demonstration of the cleaning power of Ariel. People have fun with stains but also experience the satisfaction of getting rid of them.
