Mumbai: Mediker, an anti-lice treatment brand from FMCG major, Marico Ltd launched its new communication campaign – “Mediker On Juey Gone!”
Lice infestation is a common problem for most households with young girls aged six to 15 years. According to a recent study conducted by IMRB, lice affect over 37 per cent of urban households in South & East regions and is an even bigger hair concern than dandruff*. The concept behind the ad film originates from a common worry among mothers regarding lice affecting their children’s hair, especially during school, at exam time & generally across Indian households, in hot and humid weather conditions.
*As per Kantar IMRB Rider study’2020.
The new communication attempts to educate consumers, that a mere lice comb is not enough to remove lice effectively. The conventional lice comb only targets the big lice, leaving behind small lice that stick to the scalp, inadvertently allowing further growth of their eggs and eventually new baby lice, which further become big and lay more eggs. Over time, this vicious cycle perpetuates, leading to a recurring problem.
To address this persistent challenge, Mediker a market leader in anti-lice treatment, offers a safe-for-kids, doctor certified solution# Its breakthrough formula contains 100 per cent natural actives – Neem & Coconut, designed to break the life cycle of lice in just four weeks^.
