We know pimples
Himalaya Purifying Neem Face Wash has been the no.1 face wash brand in the region, year on year. While pimples remain a constant battle, the way to communicate that to every generation keeps changing. This year, Himalaya took on the herculean task of telling Gen-Alpha why their face wash brand is the SIGMA!
Problem…
The ‘first pimple’, no matter what generation, is a confidence shaker. But, how do you tell a generation, that is ahead of its time, that Himalaya Purifying Neem Face Wash should be their no.1 choice when it comes to facing, fighting and preventing pimples?
....Solved
A generation that has been raised as ‘screenagers’ is far more connected, more self-aware and definitely more visually driven than those before them. That is where the thought “We Know Pimples” was born.
Even as a 90-year-old brand, we spoke in a Gen Alpha language, without trying to be them. We leaned into a narrative that was non-preachy, and had no outdated metaphors or lectures. We made a connection that didn’t come from mimicry, but rather from a place of confidence in what we know and respect for who we were talking to.
Insight
Generations may change, but the problem of ‘pimples’ will always stay.
Concept
The campaign’s tone was kept equal parts fun and factual, reflecting a Gen Alpha mindset and an energy that matched theirs. With this campaign, we showed that Himalaya Neem Face Wash isn’t just a heritage product. It’s a Gen Alpha ally. Because when it comes to pimples, nobody knows them like we do.
Rollout
We rolled out the campaign with 3 progressive films. Each film reflected a certain quirk of Gen-Alpha and rendered in the efficacy of our product, seamlessly. This was followed up with several social media posts that showed how perfectly Himalaya Purifying Neem Face Wash blended in with their world. We also decided to do a podcast with Himalaya Research team and teenagers, to show how the generation has changed, and how research is constantly trying to keep pace with these changes.
