Execution

Continuing its innovative "Red Cross of Restrooms" vision to provide families with clean and free public restrooms, Charmin reopened the Charmin NYC pop-up Restroom Experience in the crossroads of the world, Times Square!Visitors were surprised & delighted by 20 immaculate home-like restrooms that conveyed Charmin's newest bath tissue, Ultra Strong (red) and Ultra Soft (blue). The experience included a dance stage, photo opportunity, comfy couches, fireplaces, retail boutique and voting booth (Strong or Soft?). To ensure the media highlighted Ultra Soft and Ultra Strong, Charmin hosted a live wedding featuring the bride in a custom designed tissue-wedding dress.
