Head & Shoulders, head-scratching indeed

Head & Shoulders have a new one in town, could be it they were away too long? Or maybe some other brand is "Clear"ly on their tail? Whatever the reason they felt they needed a reminder in the market as it has been - ages! - since I saw anything of them in terms of advertising. Sure, the brand is drilled into the skulls of people - or at least used to be - when it comes to dandruff elimination. Do not this is exactly what the line riffs at "It doesn't have to be a head-scratcher" - literally and figuratively. Literally because this is what you do if you have dandruff, figuratively because you don't need to think a lot to pick the Head & Shoulders. I think this is a campaign what was thought of purely in Arabic, because it is very socially rooted in the language.

Sea, Sunsilk, and sun... (update)

The Sunsilk summer is in full swing it seems (here)! So Nourie Flayhan (illustrator), Elsa Kahwaji (content creator) and Rita Samaha (dancer) get together on a beach. And actually, they seemed to be having a lot of fun doing beachy things. But what set the ad apart is that - blimey - they actually seemed to like one another. As in sincerely like one another. I am not sure how Joe Fish the agency behind the ad did the casting for these three women but it worked. And even their "antics" - trying to balance the Sunsilk on on the head or listening to a seashell seemed... natural. Long story short, sometimes you don't need an ad that would offer an unheard of creative breakthrough - sometimes just a genuine one does the trick! 

Small update:

The film is sort of the introduction of the collaboration of these 3 artists which resulted in a limited edition pouch that is truly a piece of art. A limited edition summer pouch, especially illustrated for the season by Nourie Flayhan, in collaboration with Elsa Kahwaji and Rita Samaha. Sunsilk will be present on beaches (Lazy B, Almaza Beach etc...) with the specially designed booth where girls can have braiding and glitter and get a chance to win these pouches through a claw machine game. The campaign apparently does not have any outdoors, it will be only digital and on ground activations.
