CHINTOO existed in Daily Sakal for last 2-decades and had become an integral part of common man’s life mainly due to its subtle real-life humor.

Lifebuoy saw an apt brand marriage, with this legendary character, that, up until now, was completely untouched & non-commercialized.

Lifebuoy made Chintoo disappear to play on surprise element, building curiosity about his absence.

First time in 21 years history, readers woke-up to find their beloved Chintoo strip “MISSING”.

In the same space, we built brand-messaging idea, a readers-based contest, wherein readers responded with fun instances about Chintoo in their life.

First time in 2-decades CHINTOO endorsed a brand.

Through readers’ responses, we created a series of contextual branded Chintoo strips wherein the character propagated “Handwashing” as “FUN”.

It was supported by in-film hyperactive brand placements & interval brand messaging in first ever Chintoo feature film.

Message reinforcement was done through “Glow Germ” Cinema Hall activations
