Dettol, coining a new cultural currency for hygiene in India – APPIES Asia Pacific 2016 Gold Winner

With “Dettol, coining a new cultural currency for hygiene in India”, we come to end with our Gold winning campaign features from APPIES Asia Pacific 2016.

This campaign for Dettol, a brand of Reckitt Benckiser India, was created by McCann Worldgroup India. It was their third Gold winning campaign at APPIES Asia Pacific 2016.

Campaign Synopsis

This case study is a classic example of how unearthing a cultural insight can catapult a brand into popularity while
delivering on business results.

Dettol India was struggling with low & stagnating penetration in spite of enjoying 100% brand awareness.

By coining a new cultural currency for hygiene and elevating the brand stature to become the benchmark for absolute cleanliness, Dettol not only achieved its highest ever penetration in its 75 years of presence in India, but further managed to spark a new hygiene ritual.

After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.

We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTT, DOOH, influencer marketing, retail, etc.

Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.

Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.  

Collaboration is key: partnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.

Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
