Personal care giant Lever Faberge is to launch a high-profile TV
and press campaign for its moisturising lotion brand Vaseline Intensive
Care Dermacare, in a bid to increase its share of the £133m hand
and body lotion sector.
The TV and press campaign, through McCann-Erickson, is worth more than
£1m and kicks off at the end of the month. It aims to demonstrate
the differences between Dermacare and standard dry skin formulas, by
showing that Dermacare is suitable for sensitive skin.
According to Lever Faberge, the hand and body lotion sector has
increased in value by 9.6% to £133m over the past year. Lever
Faberge owned 21.3% of the hand and body lotion market as at October
2001. Within this figure the Vaseline brand accounts for 16%.
Separately, Lever Faberge has revealed its brand strategy for its new
Lynx fragrance Dimension, which it will support with a £9m adspend
including poster and TV ads. Ads, by Bartle Bogle Hegarty will be based
on the theme 'Find another Dimension'.
