Polycell is launching its first new advertising campaign since the
brand was acquired by chemical giant ICI in 1998. Press adver-tisements
are set to break in late October for a new product called Polyfilla
’Squeeze and Fill’, featuring the strapline ’Gun Amnesty’ to convey the
idea that the product does away with the need for conventional cartridge
guns. The advertisements, part of Polycell’s pounds 1.6m annual
marketing spend, were produced by The Clinic, with media buying handled
by Carat. The accompanying new TV execution, launched this week,
features the line ’It only takes two ticks’, playing on Polycell’s
’tick’ logo.
