Brand X puts its best feet forward
This first-to-market drug earned its manufacturer roughly $2 billion in revenues last year. Initially approved in 2003 to treat a befuddling, nebulous condition, it has expanded to include at least four others. While the conditions the drug treats have names and treatment plans, just how it quiets the symptoms is a mystery. This spot is just one take on evoking a patient’s frame of mind; the brand has also used of portraits and lifestyle shots that highlight the mental and physical toll of this painful condition.
FEBRUARY’S WINNER…
Congratulations to Carly Kuper, VP, Strategic Marketing & Corporate Communications at CMI Communications Media Inc., who correctly guessed Nicorette, GlaxoSmithKline’s product to help cigarette smokers quit.
