Description
Beauty is often defined by what we see—glowing skin, shiny hair, flawless faces. But what if the real secret to beauty lies in what we can’t see?
No Ugly Gut, a probiotic drink, was created on the belief that beauty starts in the gut. Because science tells us that when your gut is healthy, it shows. But convincing consumers that invisible bacteria can lead to visible beauty? That’s where the challenge came in.
The solution was as innovative as the product: let the bacteria design the campaign. Partnering with an award-winning microbiologist, we cultivated the live probiotics from No Ugly Gut under varying conditions, mimicking the human body. What emerged after 48 hours wasn’t just visible bacteria—it was living proof that beauty isn’t skin deep; it’s gut deep.
This professional campaign titled 'The Bacteria That Grew a Campaign' was published in New Zealand in December, 2024. It was created for the brand: No Ugly, by ad agency: Droga5. This Design, OOH Outdoor, and Print media campaign is related to the Beauty, Drinks (Non Alcoholic), and Health industries and contains 8 media assets. It was submitted 24 days ago by Copywriter: Casey Clarke of Droga5 Aotearoa.
