Deep dives
Lifebuoy soap delivers advertising message
Despite a ban on leaflets at the Kumbh Mela gathering, Lifebuoy soap found a creative way to deliver advertising directly into the hands of 2.5 million people.

The imprint ensured that the advertising message was directly visible to the consumers.
