Johnson’s Baby woos consumers with BBDO’s social experiment
BBDO Singapore conducted a social experiment called ‘play experiment’ for Johnson’s Baby Active Fresh range to promote outdoor physical playtime for children.
Parents in Singapore display a high degree of kiasu-ness when it comes to their children, often focusing on educational activities, with limited free time for unstructured play, time which is all too often taken up with technology devices or sedentary activities.
The ‘play experiment’ is designed to show the plain and simple truth to parents. It demonstrates how children are becoming conditioned into making choices that keep them sedentary, even when given the opportunity to be active, and how this is causing them miss out on key child behaviour development.
“BBDO Singapore was tasked with the need to make the Johnson’s Baby Active Fresh product range resonate more effectively with the consumer, Singaporean parents. We raised a very pertinent issue, with health and behavioural ramifications for the next generation, through which, we were able to showcase the unique features of Johnson Baby’s product range in an interesting way,” said Tan Char-Maine, Account Director for Johnson’s Baby at BBDO Singapore.
Bea Gonzalez, Group Brand Manager for Johnson’s Baby, stated, “Johnson’s baby aims to understand and be closely connected to mothers and their babies – starting from birth, and as they move on from one life stage to another. Through play experiment, Johnson’s baby aims to spark a conversation around active play and the benefits it brings to a child’s development. It’s our hope that more parents go out and play with their kids as a result of this.”
