Superhero Floss Ads

These Oral-B Ads Outline the Shape of Superheroes to Show the Floss' Strength

— October 21, 2015 — Lifestyle
These Oral-B floss ads feature the thin outlines of superhero characters like Batman, The Hulk and Thor. With dark, solid-color backgrounds, a thin-tipped outline comes out of a floss container, creating the well-known recognizable figures we looked up to in our childhoods.

The floss is an enamel-strengthening and antibacterial product, using superhero characters to symbolize the strength-building of the floss. A creative print ad collection, this campaign not only captures the interest of adults who recognize the clever design, but also children -- hopefully encouraging them to floss more often.

Created by ad agency Independiente in Ecuador, these creative ads use simplicity to their advantage and make flossing look tough, fun and even invoke the image of fame.
Trend Themes
1. Superhero-themed Marketing - Creative marketing campaigns featuring superhero imagery can capture the attention of both adults and children, potentially increasing brand awareness and sales.
2. Product Strength Symbolism - Using symbolic imagery, like superheroes, to represent the strength and effectiveness of a product can be an effective way to communicate its benefits to consumers.
3. Child-targeted Marketing - Incorporating visually appealing and recognizable imagery in marketing campaigns can be a way to engage children and encourage healthy habits, like flossing.
Industry Implications
1. Oral Care - Oral care companies can incorporate creative marketing tactics, like superhero-themed campaigns, to increase brand recognition, promote healthy habits, and potentially increase sales.
2. Advertising - Ad agencies can explore creative and visually appealing marketing techniques, like using symbolic imagery, to engage audiences and produce effective campaigns.
3. Children's Products - Companies that produce children's products can incorporate recognizable and appealing imagery, like superheroes, to promote healthy habits and increase engagement with their products.
