OMD - Nivea

Finalist - Communications Channel Plan

When a paparazzi photo of model and talk-show hostess Tyra Banks appeared to show cellulite, Omnicom's OMD unit seized on the opportunity to create an integrated communications channel plan for client Nivea that may well be the most imaginative use of "remnant" advertising space ever conceived by a big Madison Avenue media shop: the cellulite on Banks' thighs. The strategy launched Nivea's "Goodbye Cellulite" line. Working with Banks' TV production team, OMD developed a "Hot Legs" summer special documenting four cellulite sufferers using the new Nivea product, with before-and-after footage. Media integrations included the implied endorsement of the TV special, as well as tie-ins with print outlets ranging from Shape magazine to US Weekly.
