Happydent creates upside-down chin-mouth talent show

JAKARTA – Chewing gum brand Happydent has created an upside-down chin-mouth talent show as part of its latest campaign in Indonesia.

The integrated, nationwide campaign, created by BBH Asia-Pacific, features a number of films of chin-mouth characters competing on ‘The Dazzlemouth Show’, where they display their unique talents.

The films will run on Indonesian national television as well as on a dedicated YouTube channel. This will be supported by online and Facebook banner advertisements and point-of-sale materials.

Audiences are also encouraged to join the Dazzlemouth Show and make their own Dazzlemouths by visiting the Happydent Indonesia Facebook Page.

Christian Bathe, marketing director, Perfetti Van Melle, describes the campaign as a “very contagious idea" that is likely to make Indonesian consumers smile.

Dave Thackray, creative at BBH Asia Pacific, said the idea was to stay clear of "stereotypical" chewing gum advertising. "So we took the category cue of toothy, white smiles and literally turned it on its head," he said.

BBH Asia Pacific was awarded the Happydent White project work earlier this year. It is also AOR globally for Perfetti Van Melle’s brand Chupa Chups and regionally for Mentos.
