Insights, Strategy and the Idea

As the young challenger shampoo brand in the conventional anti-dandruff market, Clear Hair was keen on establishing a distinctive presence among its target consumers. During the swirl of Sunflowers Student Movement*, we spotted an opportunity for Clear Hair to further its foothold when most advertisers hesitated to continue their campaign promotion. The insight was to stand out CLEAR HAIR brand by leveraging consumers’ emotion to support the movement. We created a screenshot with a resonant massage of “make it CLEAR!” to signify the movement’s appeal for a “clear response”. This screenshot would appear in conjunction with the hashtag of CLEAR brand and “Nothing to hide” tagline. People could find it on CLEAR fans page, post and share it with their friends on Facebook”. *Sunflowers Students Movement: a social movement lasting for 23 days in 2014, against the under-the-table legislative process and support “procedures transparency”.
