Overview

Description

We celebrate the ways in which we overcome pain, by celebrating people who go to great pains for others. Rather than focus on "me" and "my suffering", we showed that the way to process pain, physically and emotionally, is to forget about self, and instead, focus on the suffering of others.

Execution

Implementation:

The approach to the campaign was to showcase emotional, inspirational content that captures attention through online films and PR activations. We then deployed our TVC and social digital assets that showed a strong connection between our product and multiple pains: Panadol Extra takes care of your many pains, so you can take care of others’.
