The GlaxoSmithKline-owned toothpaste Aquafresh introduces a mascot in its new TV campaign. TBWA\London created the spot, which features a superhero called Captain Aquafresh who bats away sugary food. - source: http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/thework/1303847/Captain Aquafresh is a great superhero, who shows that the toothpaste can rescue from sugar included in snacks, drinks and other meals. I started thinking about this product positioning, and I believe all the toothpaste brands - Aquafresh, Blend-a-med, Elmax - that indeed, they are here to help us and protect our teeth. Therefore, it is understandable that we trust them in this issue. Why don't they produce chewing gums? I wonder. My considerations and thoughts include:
- People chew gums to refresh their teeth - some after meal, some just because they would feel more comfortable at the meeting or event.
- People chew gums during day, because there is no opportunity or environment to clean teeth using toothbrush and toothpaste (some would love that!).
// Bigger picture // Is your company or brand doing something that could be extended to new areas, markets, audience? Can you think about new ways of selling, exploiting, delivering?
// Update // Aparently, Aquafresh is experimenting in some markets with this idea: http://www.wakawomen.com/2010/09/23/review-2-aquafreshs-new-gum-aint-doing-it-for-me-baby/
