ASIA-PACIFIC – SINGAPORE, SEPTEMBER 13, 2011: Reckitt Benckiser has tapped Euro RSCG for a digital project launching Dettol’s high performance line FOR MEN, a new range of soap and shower gel designed just for men. The agency’s first digital project for the Dettol brand will include social media executions for the pre-launch and launch phases in Singapore.
The appointment came about through the agency’s existing relationship with Reckitt Benckiser in Malaysia. The agency network is also the global AOR for Reckitt Benckiser’s ATL business.
“Launching a new product in any market is an exciting challenge, but what will make this particularly interesting is driving buzz around the launch on social media,” said Andrew Crombie, CEO, Euro RSCG Singapore and Malaysia. “Since Singapore is one of the most socially connected markets globally, it makes sense to tap this channel for a wide range of marketing campaigns – something we use to considerable success for a number of our clients.”
“We are particularly pleased at the opportunity to expand our relationship with Reckitt Benckiser for several reasons; they are a key global client, we have a strong relationship with them in Malaysia, and launching a product range in a new market is a rare and exciting challenge, and one that we greatly look forward to,” added Matt Fanshawe, Managing Director, Euro RSCG Asia Pacific.
