In March, Huggies launched a campaign called Expensive Sh*t.
Every parent knows the struggle of a baby blowout.
It is that messy moment when a nappy leaks and ruins a sofa, a car seat or expensive clothes.
For many parents, this fear determines where they go and how long they stay out.
Huggies decided to prove that their Little Snugglers nappies could handle the mess without any leaks.
The Live Test
They did not make a standard advertisement with actors. Instead, they hosted a one-hour live stream.
They took 18 babies who had just been fed and placed them on very expensive items.
The items included designer furniture, a luxury car, and a Turkish rug worth about 80 lakh rupees.
There was no editing and no second chances. If a nappy leaked, an item worth lakhs of rupees would be ruined in front of a live audience.
The campaign worked because it was honest. By using a live stream, the brand showed they had total confidence in their product. They did not just claim the nappies were good. They proved it by putting their own money at risk.

Huggies turned a common parenting problem into a clear demonstration of quality. They showed that if their nappy can protect a 80 lakh rupee rug, it can protect your home too.
This kind of direct proof builds trust very quickly.

One brand built 30+ landing pages through Viktor without a single developer.
Each page mapped to a specific ad group. All deployed within hours. Viktor wrote the code and shipped every one from a Slack message.
That same team has Viktor monitoring ad accounts across the portfolio and posting performance briefs before the day starts. One colleague. Always on. Across every account.
5,700+ teams. 3,000+ integrations.
