Protecting the world's biggest brand with a smile
How do you protect the value of the world's biggest brand? With a smile! Colgate is the leader in oral care in most global markets. But erosion had begun, driven by category commoditization we helped create with functional communication that made no emotional connection. The business risk was significant– without changing course, we stood to lose $300+MM within years. So, we shifted investment to equity-building, reinventing Colgate as the Champion of Optimism, inspiring people to “Smile Strong.” By building strong emotional bonds, our brand once again thrived--even through the pandemic!

Good Morning World
In a large-scale integrated campaign using multiple digital platforms and social media channels, we created 365 videos of real New Zealanders saying "Good Morning World" from their part of NZ, every day, for an entire year. The 'Good Mornings' used digital platforms and social channels each morning in different time zones across all Tourism New Zealand's key markets globally. All part of the strategy to focus on the people and human experience of New Zealand rather than the place itself – evolving the creative platform to ‘100% Pure Welcome.’
