SYDNEY - GPY&R has launched an unconventional campaign for Colgate Palmolive's laundry detergent brand Fragrance Temptations.

Colgate Palmolive goes for a luxury approach in favour of the traditional 'mumsy' ads.

The ad references the world of fashion rather than the traditional 'mumsy' route.

New market entrant Fragrance Temptations is a combination of Fluffy Fabric conditioner and Fab laundry detergent, targeted at younger women.

“The campaign idea and execution allows the product to transcend the laundry and actually become part of someone’s luxury and self-indulgence repertoire,” said GPY&R executive creative director Julian Watt.
 
GPY&R managing director Phil McDonald added that they love how this campaign reframes the whole category.

The campaign includes a 30-and 15-second ad, print, experiential and OOH executions.
