Center Fresh: Fresh breath Day
THE CHALLENGE
- One major challenge for the brand was that different brands have tried to leverage special occasions in the past to engage with their respective consumers. But no brand in the history has tried to associate them with Fresh Breath Day (August 06th). Though it gave the brand a first-mover advantage to foray into a new territory, it was also challenging to create resonance and sustenance for the same
THE SOLUTION
- Center fresh, India’s leading Gum & mint brand, has been synonymous with ‘freshness’ at its core for almost three decades. The brand’s communication has brought alive relatable, contextual snippets around fresh breath confidence over the years
- To take this positioning forward and add a meaningful role in the lives of its customers, Center Fresh decided to co-opt Fresh Breath Day (August 6th) to reflect on the power of a ’fresh approach’ as a pivot to its core cue of freshness.
- As one of the country’s leading youth brands, Center fresh’s latest initiative recognises the youth of today as passionate beacons of change through their fresh approach & formidable voices. The sensitivity, fresh thinking and approach of young minds are a testament to how they’ve braved through the life-altering second wave of the pandemic
- The brand announced its collaboration with MTV India, the country’s leading youth music channel, to release a special track “Taazi Saans, Taazi Soch” dedicated to the young and spirited voices across India in the context of the ongoing health care issues across the country.
