Delicious Chapstick Ads

The EOS Lip Balm Campaign Likens the Products to Tasty Desserts

— November 22, 2012 — Marketing
Girls will have no problem with the EOS Lip Balm campaign. It likens the chapstick to delicious candies and desserts. Although that might be tempting for those on a diet before the holidays, it really shows that people can have their cake and eat it too with this lip balm. Not only does it smooth away chapped lips, it does so in a tasty, calorie-free way.

The EOS Lip Balm campaign was conceived and executed by Juniper Park, an ad agency based in Toronto, Canada. Promoting three flavors, Smoothie, Mint Candy and Strawberry Cream, it was art directed by Mike LoNam, Dani Maisels and Christina Gliha with creative direction by Alan Madill, Terry Drummond and Barry Quinn. The delectable images were shot by photographer Michael Alberstat with expert retouching by Rodman.
