Execution

Initially we made people of all ages, aware the ugly face of colourism

by using a social experiment to show how most teens felt that whit eskinned girls are more applealing than darker skinned girls.

We then moved to a campaign showing well known, confident, lively teens of different skin tones and asked the question "who says you have to be white?"

Outcome

41% Increase in Clean &Clear sales across all brands from a 2 month campaign. (this was only during the period of this campaign).

We gained 100,000,000 media impressions.

1.3 Million Indonesians took took a pledge against colourism
