South East Asia: Kimberly targets teens with Kotex Style rollout

SINGAPORE: Kimberly-Clark has launched a new line of sanitary products - Kotex Style - with packaging in shades of purple and pink to attract teens.

South East Asia: Kimberly targets teens with Kotex Style rollout

Judy Lee, the group product manager (feminine care) at Kimberly-Clark Singapore, said Kotex Style was the only sanpro brand to target teens.

The TVC by Ogilvy & Mather shows a group of girls getting ready for gym class. One girl starts humming a tune. The other girls join her. Suddenly, they all spontaneously break into a hip-hop dance.

Ng Pei Pei, Ogilvy's regional creative director on the account, said the idea was to focus on the woman rather than the product. Kimberly-Clark also organised an outdoor event and gave away a mobile phone accessory for every pack purchased to support its advertising push.

The event featured a group of 25 teen hip-hop dancers, who performed at key shopping venues and distributed samples.

Said Lee: "We wanted to communicate the Kotex Style brand values of being young, hip and modern, and the hip-hop dancers projected this image perfectly. The hip-hop dancers served almost like brand ambassadors and our teen audience could really relate to them."

About 6,000 samples were given out on the launch date.
