OPTIC WHITE
Creating a new $1.3 billion category
the challenge
Whitening products were increasing within the oral care category and to meet this demand Colgate wanted to create a new premium, whitening toothpaste that would be as effective as using whitening strips.
the solution
Colgate's main competitor, P&G, had launched a whitening toothpaste with the strategy of focusing on the technology of teeth whitening.
JAM saw an opportunity to leap-frog this positioning by creating a cosmoceutical strategy for Colgate. Focusing on the efficacy and end results of their new products we enabled Colgate to dominate the category and became the "Beauty" brand within the oral care category.
the results
• Created new $1.3 billion category!
• #1 – Colgate-Palmolive surpassed P&G as industry leader!
• "Optic White has taken the industry by storm." – Forbes
