Execution
At UFC, every fighter uses a mouth guard to enter the arena.
The idea was create a LED mouth guard that created a dazzling white smile on the fighter.
The chosen fighter was the UFC bantamweight champion, the Brazilian Renan Barao. The chosen fight was the UFC London main event.
Moments before the fight, our champion used social networks to built suspense about his entrance in the UFC arena.
On Twitter and Facebook he posted a video where he said he and Oral B had a surprise for his fans.
And promoted the hashtag #Barao_White_Teeth
At the fight time, the champion entered the arena with a LED mouth guard, highlighting his mouth to all who were in the arena and those watching UFC on TV.
Outcome
