Persil is a brand of laundry detergent made by Henkel; but
which is now also licensed for manufacture, distribution, and
marketing in several countries by Unilever. Henkel and Unilever
both manufacture their own formulations. Introduced in 1907,
Persil is notable because it was the first commercially available
“self-activated” laundry detergent.

The Challenge

Create a Launch & Marketing Strategy for Persil’s new variant Persil Lavender Fresh

Rationale

People aspire to be someone or something more. We would like to tap this quest of elevation by calling out everyone that they can Be Lavender Fresh. We will also call out people who appreciate fragrances especially Lavender Lovers to claim the brand as their own. We want them to feel proud, stand and be counted as Lavender Fresh. Their clothes are not just clean, they are also Lavender Fresh.
