The Campaign

A campaign drawn out of the human truth that people don't really like to wear condoms. We felt that the fact it's so thin meant it was the ideal condom for people who hate condoms. Why not draw on that and boldly address peoples' annoyances and frustrations with condoms. Only to reveal a good solution to their hatred. A condom so thin, it feels like it's not even there! Queue, Durex AiR. So while we created drama and conversation around #HateCondoms - we completed the #hag on the day we launched our TVC, and product, to #HateCondomsLoveDurexAiR Finally, a solution was born for all the condom haters out there. For if you hate condoms, we don't mind one bit, because you'll love Durex AiR! - so thin, it's like it's not even there.

Creative Execution

From “I hate condoms” to “Hate Condoms, Love Durex AiR”. Seeded the conversation: Durex kick-started the campaign by asking digital India a simple question. Got the audience to open up: We involved influencers to share content using #HateCondoms and pitch in with their own views. Along with street interviews. The audience soon responded. Summed it up with a Promise: We created a poll and arrived at the key reason – which, as expected, was “lack of feeling”. We ended the poll with a teaser, promising the audience that Durex will come back to them with a solution. The results of the poll generated a lot of organic media coverage, leaving the audience wondering what was to come. Durex Air launched with a TV commercial, first aired online. We released digital posts detailing the product on our social channels along with bought media banners. This sparked further online content. We decided to take a neon look and feel. It signified rebellion and youth. While maintaining the Durex blue colour palette, we introduced pink to enhance the 'love' stance. Timeline: Launched March 1st 2018. Currently ongoing, will continue to the end of this year.
