‘Britain’s Greatest’ is a major new consumer initiative from RB UK, manufacturer of leading household, personal care and OTC brands such as Finish, Vanish, Dettol, Veet, Optrex, Nurofen and Durex. ‘Britain’s Greatest’ is a high impact, cross-brand promotional initiative that will run throughout 2012 and bring together brands under a number of themes during the year. 2012 is a very special year for Britain, with both the Jubilee and the Olympic Games being celebrated during the summer, and RB wanted to join in those celebrations by developing a special campaign that will operate all year bringing consumers great offers, new ideas and competitions, both in-store and online, and will celebrate some of Britain’s greatest places, people and events.
Britain’s Greatest is being supported by a £6m marketing spend, The campaign starts with Britain’s Greatest Clean Up, focusing on leading household brands – Finish, Dettol, Harpic, Cillit Bang. As the emergence from winter drives householders to take the opportunity to embark on the great Spring clean, Britain’s Greatest Clean Up will be offering a helping hand. Over the course of the year a variety of promotional events will roll out across the RB brand portfolio.
The campaign was created and designed by Live & Breathe with advertising by EuroRSCG, and features TV, print, radio, digital, in-store and promotional activity, supported by consumer competitions across brands and has a total estimated reach of some 850 million consumers.
Britain’s Greatest Clean Up will be featured in all major retailers with high impact POS materials in-store designed to drive consumer footfall to the featured brands and associated supermarket aisles Consumers will have the chance to save with in-store offers as well as take part in exciting competitions with major prizes, for example the chance to win a year of having your house cleaned for you!
