Cetaphil

Get Closer

Agency: Buchanan

Description

Cetaphil, which is making a push for wider UK recognition for its cult range of skincare products, has partnered with Warner Brothers and Comedy Central to sponsor the most popular show of a generation, Friends.
The comedy-based shorts take cue from Friends’ comedic tropes, just, minus the canned laughter. The sketches associate Cetaphil with friendship - while indicating confidence in skin - by using crash-zooms, close-ups and each ident concluding with the tagline “Get Closer”. The meaning is intentionally on the nose: get closer to friends and get closer to skin. This confidence comes from the faith placed in Pharrell Williams’ preferred face wash, Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. There are six 10-second idents and eight 5-second idents going to air, using humour to resonate with the Friends audience, and volume to ensure brand recognition.

This professional campaign titled 'Get Closer' was published in United Kingdom in March, 2019. It was created for the brand: Cetaphil, by ad agency: Buchanan. This Film medium campaign is related to the Health industry and contains 4 media assets. It was submitted about 5 years ago.
