Created by content agency Now Screen, the 30-second ad features an animation of a fiery match merging into a painfully-inflamed kneecap.
The ad was based on the insight that a knee bone is shaped similarly to a match, and the burning sensation felt by arthritis sufferers, Now Screen said in a press statement.
“We’re very proud to have been able to create such a strong, simple and visual story for our client at Reckitt Benckiser, through powerful animation and live action,” said Dana Holder, global creative director at Now Screen. “This was definitely a team effort.”
Nurofen category manager added Laurent de Meyer: “The main objective of the brief was to establish Nurofen as a credible player within osteoarthritis pain management. For this we wanted to educate the osteoarthritis sufferers about the need to not only manage their pain but also to relieve the inflammation when their osteoarthritis flares up.”

It would be painful if you had a femur on both the top and bottom of your knee.
