Kleenex is the tissue brand that became synonymous with the category itself. The problem is that tissues are commodified. People say "Kleenex" but buy whatever's cheapest. The brand is iconic but emotionally invisible. To get Kleenex to resonate with our audience of caregivers, parents, and empathetic humans (25-65) who show up for people in vulnerable moments, we created a campaign that tells our audience that you can’t always control what a moment becomes, but you can be ready for it. Because being prepared for emotion isn’t weakness; it’s love.
