Said Hemang Vasani, brand manager - Himalaya Herbals, “Young girls today are conscious about how they look and they are increasingly taking extra care of their face. They begin to use face cleansing products as early as 12 years of age. They are aware of their skin requirements and are willing to use a product that addresses their problems. Our on-going consumer study reveals that impurities like blackheads, dirt and dead skin are a big cause of concern amongst young girls. Himalaya Purifying Neem Scrub helps remove these deep-rooted facial impurities.”
The TVC begins with a young college girl, who returns home after a party and logs on to her social media page. While browsing through the party pictures online, she notices facial impurities and is deeply embarrassed. The following day, her embarrassment further increases when she zooms in to watch the party video in HD, with her friends. The TVC introduces Himalaya Purifying Neem Scrub and asks viewers the questions, “For how long with you keep saving yourself?”
