Vaseline had become just another brand in a homogenous body care category. It lacked focus across its product portfolio globally and sales were declining in the US and Europe. But Vaseline had a secret weapon. They were the creators of little jar that everyone in the world has in the back of their medicine cabinet – Vaseline Petroleum Jelly.
We created the first unified global positioning - ”The Healing Power of Vaseline” built from this healing heritage and became not just the new brand purpose and tagline, but the mission statement for how the brand evolved. All products were reformulated to contain Vaseline Jelly, and healing drives all new product innovations.
A launch spot designed to remind people of Vaseline's amazing history of healing since it's development to today.
This was the first truly global positioning for Vaseline and we launched it everywhere globally with simple skin healing metaphors and the simple claim "Your skin healed." Simple healing metaphors were used to both travel well globally, but also keep the category aspirational.
