OUR LEARNING

Taking the initiative Interactive advertising Cause based marketing41

Hair care Dove was launching its hair-care product in India with an ambition to deliver the most beautiful hair. Dove believed real beautiful hair is when its damage free. Key thought: Beauty is fragileyou constantly need to protect it. In most womens minds especially in India, there is an almost inevitable tension between beautiful hair and doing damage to it, though the damage is not selfinflicted. Dove wanted to tell the truth to women that really beautiful hair is hair without damage. The only real way to get beautiful hair is to deal with the damage that life meats out.
