New natural pain relief product launches from Panadol creators, via whiteGrey
Global consumer healthcare business, Haleon, has launched its first naturally-derived pain relief product to market in a campaign from WhiteGrey.
PanaNatra is the first in a new ‘naturals’ subcategory from the creators of Panadol, launching with the brand platform “Who Said Natural Hasn’t Got What It Takes?”.
Other assets:
The work features everyday characters, like tradies, school teachers and sports and dance fanatics, playing out their toughness they display through their everyday lifestyles. With each character seeking a way to find pain relief naturally, the campaign dispels the idea that natural products can’t do the job properly.
Encompassed in a series of TVCs, including a hero 45-second spot and two 15-second cutdowns, the campaign will also run across online video and social. as well as a large-scale OOH campaign on the silos site (Sydney), a large motion OOH panel over Bourke St Mal (Melbourne), and bus wraps.
Chad Mackenzie, chief creative officer WhiteGrey said: “PanaNatra is set to disrupt a few category conventions, so we needed an idea that did the same. Often when we hear the word ‘natural’ we tend to think ‘soft’. Not up to the job. The truth is, there’s simply nothing soft about being natural. This idea pushes off the natural toughness in us. It challenges the perception of the type of people who opt for natural pain relief. Through these hard-working characters, we’re able to highlight the efficacy of a product powered by nature.”
Cate Sefton, ANZ marketing director, Haleon said: “Research indicated that attitudes to managing pain are changing with many seeking alternative therapies to pain relief, so it is a logical next step for us to look at challenging the category and offer a naturally-derived solution using plant-based actives. We believe this innovative approach of combining nature & science will resonate with Australians and we are excited to bring this to market.”
Elena Pintado, senior marketing manager – pain relief, Haleon said: “whiteGREY’s creative solution is brilliant. Bringing together tough characters such as tradies and sports fanatics with naturally-derived pain relief, will grab attention and drive relevance of the new range. Our aim is to create mass awareness of PanaNatra and “Who Said Natural Hasn’t got what it takes?” is the perfect way to achieve our goal. We can’t wait to see the results.”
The campaign runs from early April through to the end of July, with TVS set to launch on April 9.
