Cinthol, one of India’s leading soap brands, in its new ad campaign, titled ‘Dreams shine the brightest under the scorching sun’ (Kothikum Veyilil Dhaan Kanavugal Jolikkum), ups its love affair with consumers in Tamil Nadu.

The film is built around the insight that the aspirations of women in Tamil Nadu today have evolved as they strive to attain positions of responsibility that contribute to nation building and seek to create a lasting impact on society at large.

Pointing out in a press release that Tamil Nadu today has one of the highest numbers of women district collectors in its history, Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL), owners of brand Cinthol, said the new campaign celebrates this inspirational fact through the protagonist, who, while playing the role of a district collector, inspires her younger sister to dream of doing the same.

Through the metaphor of dust, heat and pollution, Cinthol aims to deliver the empowering message that women confidently forge ahead to achieve their own dreams, regardless of the challenges facing them.

Speaking about the campaign, Ashwin Moorthy, Chief Marketing Officer-India, GCPL, said, “While working on the campaign, we recognized that brands of stature like Cinthol must insightfully reflect the current aspirations of our consumers in its narrative. Women today have greater confidence in aspiring to challenging professions that enable them to play an even larger role in building a stronger nation for the next generation.

“Cinthol, a symbol of trust in Tamil Nadu, plays a pivotal role here as a foundational step in providing expert recommended skin health, protecting consumers from harsh environmental factors like dust, heat and pollution.”

Anu Joseph, Co-Founder and Creative Vice-Chairman, Creativeland Asia, in the statement said, “With this idea, Cinthol furthers its legacy of being a doctor-recommended soap and a skin health expert. The central brand thought, ‘Dreams shine the brightest under the scorching sun’, seeks to inspire women to follow their dreams regardless of any barriers that may come in their way.”
