Vaseline Shampoo Fragrance Campaign

The Brief
Differentiate a family shampoo brand from parity competition with its only differentiator being long-lasting fragrance.

In the cut-throat shampoo advertising arena, brands have always communicated functional benefits as differentiator.

The Opportunity
Filipinos are suckers for anything and everything heart-warming especially when the subject matter is family. 

The Communication
Leverage on the emotional nature of Filipinos by saying that the long-lasting fragrance of Vaseline will encourage family members to become closer to each other.

VASELINE SHAMPOO “KAPAL” (THICK FACE/THICK HAIR)

In the Philippines, 'kapal' means thick. This term was used to magnify the benefit of Vaseline's new shampoo. Used as an expression, "Kapal!" also literally means thick-faced or more correctly, shameless. The TVC features a pretty, unassuming girl who people call "Kapal!" out of envy.
