Colgate Optic White, with its new whitening pen and toothpaste, was a big innovation for the category, and so the team turned to Snapchat for the kind of launch that had not been seen before - with KPIs around both awareness and consideration.

Colgate Optic White’s new whitening pen and toothpaste had a unique message to convey. They realized the best way to bring this message to life, was to make the experience of learning about the product fun, interactive and immersive. This lens was saved over 149k times.

Snap Ads were the more sales-led part of the campaign. They focused on the single message of 3 shades whiter and showcased the unique product. The two formats allowed users to swipe up to either the Colgate website to learn more, or directly to souq.com to buy the product.
