The proverb says that laughter is the best medicine and a smile is the best makeup. We recognize that many people around the world hide their smiles due to discomfort or anxiety related to the appearance of their teeth. According to the National Smile Month Survey (Atomic Research, 2019), as many as 51% do so. Therefore, with Philips Sonicare, we tackled the issue head-on with an innovative campaign designed as a long-term project focusing on oral hygiene and its connection to mental health. Two types of activations – online and offline – within the campaign demonstrate that we can innovatively and effectively address real consumer issues like confidence in their smiles, while simultaneously enhancing brand engagement.

Where are the young people? This everyday question, which hides worrying statistics about adolescents spending time behind screens, communicating with smartphones in hand, and growing up without real motivation, also echoes in our minds. Therefore, in collaboration with Supernova Ljubljana Rudnik, we developed a project aimed at creating a more attractive and accessible environment for young people who are increasingly inclined towards digital forms of socializing and shopping. The main guiding principles were the results of research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the shopping habits of young people and studies on trends in the digital behavior of young people, emphasizing the need for innovative solutions to establish real connections in a digitally colored world. The project acts as a bridge between the digital and physical worlds and as a platform that encourages interactivity and active participation among young people.
