BENYLIN. 

Tell Your Cough To Cough Off

This opportunity arose when an over-excited media buyer booked airtime without an ad to run. We were asked to quickly fill the breach. Armed with the insight that cough's are one of life's unnecessary and irritating interruptions, I thought of the endline in the briefing. Finding the perfect 'royalty-free' moment to interrupt, took us a little longer. But we found a corker.

VIAGRA. Branding The Unmentionable

When Viagra first arrived in Europe, medical advertising restrictions prevented the use of packaging, product, logos or brand name from being used in any advertising.  So we found a stealthy way to remind patients to ask their doctor for the tablet everyone was talking about.

ANDREX. Bring Back Our Puppies

Having established itself as the quintessential family centric brand over decades, it was never going to be easy for Andrex to claim 

a more 'buzz-worthy' territory - brands can't switch positions overnight. When I worked on Andrex the ask was to "Bring back family

insights. Product values... And the puppies."
