JAMMU, May 11: The Himalaya Drug Company, India’s leading herbal health and personal care company launched its new TVC to further drive the usage of its flagship product – Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Wash.
The campaign captures emotions attached to the first pimple and how teenagers turn to their near and dear ones to seek solutions.
The new TVC has been conceptualized by the ad agency Soho Square and directed by Gajraj Rao. Backed by the consumer insight, the 30 sec ad showcases teenagers turning to their family for advice on skincare especially when it includes concerns like pimples. Himalaya’s new commercial reveals how two siblings bond over a shared concern while also throwing light on the emotions attached with the first pimple. The elder sister helps her younger sister by motivating her to face her first pimple. The commercial ends with the functional benefit of using Purifying Neem Face Wash for pimple free skin, with the underlying message ‘Himalaya sabse pehle’
