This was a student project in which I created a marketing campaign based on past campaigns, new and old research and all while staying conscious of the existing brand.
2. Creative Brief
Tide is a laundry detergent composed of nineteen
different household-friendly chemicals and has
been the leading choice of laundry detergent
since the product was brought to the United
States in 1946.
This campaign will be predominantly
featured as a single page advertisement
within a magazine, but will expand to
include a variety of different advertising
mediums including billboards, bus kiosks
and more.

housewives and/or the person who does
m a j or i t y of th e l a und r y i n m o s t
