Shape-Shifting Paper Towels

The P&G Bounty Ad Campaign Acts Like the Original Vessel

The P&G Bounty ad campaign is pretty clever. Moving away from the typical route of product comparison ads and invincible cleaning ads, this concept focuses on the idea that this brand of paper towels can actually act like the original vessels that contained the mess before it became a mess.

Conceived and created by Dallas-based ad agency Publicis, the P&G Bounty ad campaign may be different, but it is still very direct. Excellently executed, it compels the potential consumer to look twice at each ad because, at first, the P&G Bounty product really does look like the wine bottle, fish tank, soda bottle and egg it shape-shifts into. With the tagline "Always thirsty," you know that Bounty is always at the ready to clean up any mess.
