When launching their new teeth whitening product Listerine didn’t want to take the easy and rather hackneyed route and focus on cosmetic appearance. We worked closely and collaboratively with them to find an original point of view.
The health benefits of smiling are often overlooked and particularly taken for granted especially by those who can see them. It is a fact that smiling lowers people’s heart rate after stress and people smile not only when they are happy but also as a means of strengthening social bonds. But we often forget to.
We wanted to remind people about the power of a smile. We wanted them to realise it is something they often take for granted and don’t exercise yet it has tremendous health and mental benefits for both givers and receivers. And it’s free to use. What better way to demonstrate this than working with people who can’t see smiles.
By creating an app that used facial recognition technology and phone vibration each time somebody smiled the users were able to literally feel every smile directed their way. We worked closely with the RNIB to ensure the app provided the required level of accessibility.
The 'Feel Every Smile' film brought this to life in a moving but non-sentimental treatment.
