In today’s Marketing Shot:💡 The Colgate Campaign🗞️ 4 Noteworthy Updates from the Digital World

A few years ago, Colgate came up with a clever advertising campaign to encourage kids to brush their teeth after eating sweets.

Instead of giving out samples, they distributed ice cream and cotton candy on a stick that was shaped like a toothbrush.

This unique approach caught the attention of many children who were curious to try out the sugary treats. However, what made this campaign special was that the stick carried a hidden message that revealed itself after consumption.

The message was "Don't Forget" along with the Colgate logo.

This message served as a reminder for children to remember the importance of brushing their teeth after consuming sweets.

This campaign was a huge success and was appreciated by many parents who were happy to see their kids take better care of their dental hygiene.
