CLEAR Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Game launch on QQ.com
The game, titled ‘doomsday on dandruff on QQ.com’ was fully created by AKQA,. It launched just as the Unilever brand was reintroducing the men and women’s shampoo product line with new and improved packaging.
The two male and female game characters aim to virtually remove dandruff and other scalp problems like scalp itchiness, grease for males and dryness for females – these three scalp problems, which are represented by animated game characters, can be remedied through Clear’s deep scalp nourishment.
Various game mechanics allow innovative user interaction including jumping, crashing, slicing and smashing.
Users are able to challenge their friends to a face-off in the hopes of accumulating virtual “jewels” which are exchangeable for real world prizes like iPhone and iPad.
This is the first unconventional marketing campaign in which Clear messages its brand as not only one of hair care expertise, but also a specialist at treating other scalp problems.
