Change baby's diaper to avoid mythical monsters

A BBDO campaign for Sweety mines Indonesian folklore to create three grouchy little monsters akin to babies suffering from diaper rash. Also, don't miss the funny radio ads.

Taking inspiration from Indonesian monster myths, a new campaign for Sweety Silver Pants by BBDO Indonesia and BBDO Guerrero advises parents to change their baby’s diaper "before it changes them".

The three monsters in the print advertising series, representing little ones who are upset due to wet nappies and/or diaper rash, are patterned after creatures from Indonesian folklore: The Leyak, the Genderuwo, and the Buto Ijo.

Ad Nut loves the illustrations, as well as the use of local culture. You should click to enlarge the images above and enjoy the details.

Also, don't miss the campaign's three radio ads, which feature a completely different—and quite funny—creative direction. Each one slowly builds up to the moment that...something...arrives.
