The total Johnson’s Baby portfolio had a global revamp for the first time in decades. From product formulation to packaging, Johnson’s was now gentler than ever.
To explode “gentle”, we launched our own advocacy to change the harshness in traditional parenting practices ingrained in PH culture.
How did we start this potentially difficult conversation? Through art.
In any recommender engine driven aggregator app, it’s always an uphill climb for small or new businesses to rise above the big, popular franchises.

Research revealed that the majority of people thought GrabMart, a supermarket delivery service, had problems with product availability. To counter this, we launched a campaign that highlighted how you could buy almost anything at GrabMart – love, hope, happiness, even fans.
To test the superior absorption of no. 1 sanitary napkin brand, Modess, we made the dumbest, but most authentic product demo the brand’s ever produced. We got a group of male vloggers with a strong female following to menstruate (via analog technology) and test the pads on a “heavy flow day”.
In PH culture, teen girls don’t like wearing white underwear because it easily stains, but to even discuss women’s hygiene is taboo in our culture.

Mang Inasal is one of the fastest growing brands of Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC), the no. 1 Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) company in the country. JFC had extremely restrictive rules with the way the product was presented.

Bank campaigns are rarely emotional, but why can’t they be? In this campaign, we leveraged the relationship of broadway star, Lea Salonga and her brother, musical director, Gerard Salonga, as an embodiment of the bank’s brand of service.
We also created a viral film that showcased the everyday sacrifices that a lot of older sisters in the Philippines had to make.
