Challenge: Use an FSI to
(1) urge trial of Advance White toothpaste and (2) announce that new packaging
would soon be on-shelf.
Solution: Buried within the background details of the
creative brief—not part of the client's requested key messaging—was the
fact that over 70% of past trial participants preferred Advance White over
their current brand.
I developed this FSI to champion and showcase that fact,
which is both a superiority claim and a convincing reason to try.
I placed the "new look" announcement within the coupon because
I wanted to (1) isolate the 70% claim in the main creative area, and
(2) keep the new-look message on the part of the FSI that the shopper
would cut out and bring into the store.
This 70% claim that I independently unearthed and gave prominence to became
part of all related messaging for months afterward.
