Deliberately designing your creative work to be stepped on and
walked over is fairly unusual, but when your medium is the floor, it
pretty much comes with the territory.
D'Arcy Hong Kong came up with a creative concept for client Procter &
Gamble's Zest soap which ran in local supermarkets and literally stopped
consumers in their tracks.
The idea was that Zest's lemon fragrance acts as a "wake-up" call,
refreshing and revitalising its users - so by creating life-size
drainage hole stickers and placing them on the floor next to the soap
display, consumers would have no choice but to pay attention.
The tagline on the stickers read "Beware! Wake up! Zest, extremely
refreshing and revitalising".
D'Arcy's creative team included group CD Polly Chu, writer May Wong, art
director Astley Ho, group account director Stella Tsang and account
manager Ivy Lau.
