MUMBAI: Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd, the market leader in oral care, has revealed two new TVCs  to launch its fresh campaign ‘Andar se Strong’ for its flagship brand Colgate Strong Teeth. It has also introduced a packaging change after over a decade. The TVCs have been created by RedFuse Communication.

Both the TVCs convey how Colgate Strong Teeth adds natural calcium to one’s teeth, and are based on the theme that just like a mother raises her child to be strong from within, Colgate Strong Teeth too makes one’s teeth strong from within.

The first TVC shows the protagonist - a young girl -  joining in to play football with a group of boys, overriding the resistance to her inclusion in the team with her confident smile and wit - a reflection of self-belief and inner strength. The second TVC features Deepika Padukone, shown alongside her mother - who has made the actress strong from within. Smiling during difficult moments, she says, symbolises ‘inner strength’.

Speaking about the new campaign, Colgate-Palmolive (India) managing director Issam Bachaalani said, “Colgate Strong Teeth, our flagship brand, has been in India for over 80 years, and I'm delighted to announce our new brand campaign called 'Andar Se Strong' featuring Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone. This campaign reinforces our promise to guard and nurture you and your family's smile, by keeping your teeth strong from within.”

The ‘Andar se Strong’ theme in the TVCs will be supported by a 360-degree marketing campaign to ensure that the new Colgate Strong Teeth communication reaches consumers across multiple touch points. It will be available across various retail formats at a variety of price points starting from a Rs 5 pack to a 500-800 g saver pack.

Elaborating more on the campaign, RedFuse Communication creative director Sanjay Sipahimalani said, “In this campaign, we wanted to highlight that inner strength is most important to experience life to the fullest.  Both the TVCs focus on ‘Andar se Strong’ stories, but manifest in different ways. While the football tvc shows how breaking stereotypes and standing up for yourself takes inner strength, Deepika’s film is all about her personal ‘andar se strong’ story, which is what makes her the superstar and the person she is today.”
