Prozym

Prozym Dental Sticks

Problem 

In a highly competitive doggy dental treat market our challenge was to launch Prozym Dental Sticks and the entire Prozym Dental Treatment Range into Australia. We needed an idea that would slice through the clutter on a fraction of the budget larger companies would have to spend.

Our influence

Research showed that if humans were suffering the effects of bad dog breath, then their four-legged friends may be showing the first signs of periodontal disease, which affects 80% of dogs over three years old. So, we turned the negative of bad doggy breath into a positive for owners who treat their fur friend with Prozym Dental Sticks, by capturing the fun moments when canines and humans show affection for each other – including those awkward licks on the face, lips and even mouth.

Results

To date, the Australian launch of Prozym has been the most successful compared to any market worldwide – picking up a number of international awards along the way. And in recognition, Prozym’s mother brand, Ceva, is now rolling out the ‘Kissibly Clean’ creative across the globe.
