Brief

As the leading oral care brand in Malaysia, Colgate wanted to stand for a bigger purpose. Not just behind perfect smiles or exceptional teeth, but a strong smile that is the symbol of optimism. A strong smile that can overcome challenges and preconceived biases that hinder opportunities.

Solution

We made Airliftz our ambassador - a Malaysian rapper with a disfigurement in the middle of his face to be the catalyst for change. By breaking the normal oral care advertisement mould, we redefined the ‘face that fit,’ and told a story of strength that was ignited by the power of his smile.
