Golden Restoration

HEAD & SHOULDERS TAKES OVER THE CITY WITH AN IMPACTFUL OOH THAT TURNS DRYNESS INTO ART

In Lima, one of the most humid cities in the world, dryness might seem like a distant problem. However, Digitas Peru found the perfect starting point to develop Golden Restoration, the new Head & Shoulders campaign that brought the brand’s message into an unconventional space: a cracked sports court transformed into a purposeful, living piece of outdoor media.
Based on a clear premise — “Where others see damage, we saw an opportunity” — the creative team drew inspiration from Kintsugi, the Japanese technique of repairing with golden material. They filled the cracks and fractures of the surface, turning a deteriorated space into an urban art installation. At the same time, this intervention revitalised a forgotten place and served as a visual metaphor for Head & Shoulders’ new golden formula, designed to nourish and maintain scalp hydration.
"We wanted to show that, with proper care, even the most visible marks of dryness can be transformed into something valuable and beautiful that promotes overall well-being," said Carlos Altamirano, VP Creative at Digitas Peru.
This project demonstrates how urban spaces can become a non-traditional medium that connects art, brand, and social message. In this way, Golden Restoration not only spoke about personal care but also contributed to revaluing a community space, proving that the brand can leave a mark beyond just visual impact.
Through Golden Restoration, Digitas Peru and Head & Shoulders showcase the transformative power of their campaign — not just by launching a product, but by renewing spaces that redefine damage and turn it into a symbol of value. A fusion of art and brand that reminds us that, even in the most forgotten places, there is always an opportunity to renew, inspire, and transform
