Singapore, 3 September 2007 - National Geographic Channel Asia and
Procter and Gamble (P&G), the market leader in personal skin care products,
have partnered for the first time to launch an on-air and interactive campaign
on the evolution of beauty.
Leveraging on National Geographic Channel as a science and technology channel,
the campaign has been launched with creative teasers to whet viewers' curiosity
about the next revolution on skincare and a special vignette will follow soon.
This vignette will trace the evolution of beauty. From the exfoliating milk
baths of the Egyptians to modern day skin care-treatments such dermabrasions
and facials, the journey will culminate with P&G's revolutionary product, Olay
Total Effects. With added testimonials from a skin-care specialist as
well as prominent actresses, Nat Myria and Sonia Couling from Thailand, the
campaign will further demonstrate the product's benefits.
Avinash Himatsinghani, Vice President, Advertising Sales and Partnerships,
National Geographic Channel Asia says, "National Geographic Channel Asia
has always looked for innovative, integrated solutions that would best
translate a client's campaign message to connect with our audiences. This
partnership with P&G is a fantastic example of our endeavour. Through this
initiative we have offered P&G a unique platform to reach out to our
discerning audiences and at the same time engage and educate our audiences
about the science behind beauty." Commenting further Mr Himatsinghani
says, "This is our first ever initiative with P&G on a regional level
and we look forward to more such projects in the future."
Beauty is an ever-evolving science and the search for eternal youth is as old as
time. Drawing from National Geographic's extensive exploration and research on
related subject matters such as history and culture, the campaign demonstrates
the benefits of Olay Total Effects - the all in one anti-ageing solution
that combines age-old remedies and modern skin care treatments all in a bottle.
"National Geographic Channel Asia provided us with an unique platform to
explore different communication models in our approach in the region. We are
continuously evolving our communication models to reach out to our users and
revolutionary products that P&G have been known for." says P&G
spokesperson.
This campaign runs for about three months. The vignettes will be
seen by over 6 million National Geographic Channel households in
Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Viewers may also watch these National
Geographic Channel produced vignettes on the P&G website at
