Insights, Strategy & the Idea



Establish a strong connection with teens and increase equity on being a “teen skin care expert” in a cluttered skincare category.



Key objectives:



a. Increase in TOM, spontaneous awareness and consideration.



b. Improve confidence and Teen Skin Care Expertise scores.



A study of 'a day in the life’ of teenagers revealed that she spends 14 hours away from home. College is where they bond, let their guard down and connect with peers.



The core youth insight was “I want to be famous”.



We built on this insight and created one of the biggest youth engagement programs ever in India - “Clean & Clear Times Fresh Face 2010” in partnership with the Times of India group.



A chance to become famous, and be the next face of the Clean & Clear TVC.



The talent hunt program reached out to 150 colleges across 7 cities, giving every college-going teenager a chance to live their dream of becoming famous.



Creative Execution

The event was given the treatment of a big budget blockbuster. The contest was built on the core brand promise of “confidence”.



The brand values were brought alive through multiple sub-initiatives:



• Specially created “Best Friend Moment” sections published in TOI each day which captured many facets of friendship between two best friends.



• Special online property called ‘Confidence Meter’ initiated to test the confidence of contestants across various rounds. The Confidence Meter was linked onto Facebook so that non contesting teens could also take the test.



A 360 degree communication package ensured that consumers were engaged at multiple touch points across all TOI media assets of TV, Print, Radio, Social Media and Internet.



The program was made even bigger by building in interactivity and virally through friends and family voting for contestants, activation in malls via games, contests and sampling.



The event culminated in a grand finale in Mumbai.
