HONG KONG: Consumer goods company Kao has booked the entire
trackside advertising space at four MTR stations as part of a HK$10 million (about US$1.3 million) campaign to reposition its
Biore brand's facial wash product.
This is the first time that JCDecaux Pearl & Dean has sold the entire
trackside space in a station. The MTR ads are part of an integrated
Hakuhodo-developed campaign consisting of a TVC - a 30-second spot
featuring a woman talking about healthy skin - print, POP and in-store
sampling to reposition the brand for women 20 and over compared with its
previous teen target. "Biore has been in the market for many years; we
are keen to change the perception that the brand is for teens only.
Biore is also suitable for adults," said a spokesperson.
