MUMBAI: Ambi Pur’s smelly to smiley campaigns have always challenged and conquered the toughest and most pungent odours in a real-time set-up with live experiments.
While monsoons have always stood for happy, fun times, growing up brings us face-to-face with monsoon-related issues. Akin to the advertisement format that has become synonymous to Ambi Pur, the new TVC is a real-life experiment at a real consumer’s home, where a unique sensorial challenge is conducted.
After all, how often would you come across people with blind folds and pegs on their noses?
This interesting play on the senses reveals that a home, which may look immaculately clean, may, in reality, be perceived as unclean because it is doused with the damp monsoon odour. This TVC, conceptualised by Grey Group, features brand ambassador Boman Irani who presents a reality check in context to the damp, lingering odours that specially torment during monsoons.
The TVC positions the new and improved Ambi Pur, with odour-clear technology, as the perfect solution to restore freshness to your favorite season.
The recently released findings from a survey conducted by AC Nielsen, commissioned by Ambi Pur, unearthed the extent of suffering that these damp, musty odours impose on all of us. In fact, nine out of every 10 women (surveyed) felt that monsoons bring issues within the household such as drying clothes inside, that lead to a musty damp odour.
P&G Home Care India brand manager Nidhish Garg comments: “To drive awareness regarding the New & Improved Ambi Pur with patented odour-clear technology, we have launched the 3rd leg of the very popular Smelly to Smiley campaign. The brand stays with its ideology of putting the product to torture tests against relevant odour issues, and this time we take on the musty odour that all Indians face during monsoons.
The TVC captures live reaction of a consumer who experiences the monsoon odour when visiting a friend’s home that looks perfectly clean. The same consumer sees Ambi Pur in action and how it completely eliminates the monsoon odour as opposed to temporarily concealing it with a fragrance.
Irani adds, “Monsoon is my favourite season but we all know the challenges that come with it, right from drying clothes inside to the rigorous cleaning regime. The new TVC shows that the house that looks clean may not actually smell clean due to the overwhelming moisture-heavy air giving out a feeling of lack of hygiene."
The new & improved Ambi Pur uses a distinct formulation that focuses on odour removal, not just on emitting the fragrance. P&G has created a trademarked ‘Odour-clear technology’, which has been brought to India in July.
