How do you get noticed? How do you make your message relevant? How do you make an impact? If you're Engauge and the product is Airborne, you create a uniquely qualified spokesperson The Germ Guy.
This anti-icon colorfully represented the fact that germs are everywhere and that there's not much you can do about it except take Airborne to help support your immune system. And represent he did, in all kinds of public places and familiar situations where germs might be spread. Everything from TV commercials and magazine ads to subway station takeovers and live appearances, the Airborne Germ Guy was there to remind people of the potential pitfalls of a weak immune system.
So did we get noticed? Was the message relevant? Did we make an impact? In the first year, sales more than doubled.
