Through an interactive YouTube video, viewers can feed him and offer a tube of Pepsodent Sensitive Expert toothpaste to cure his sensitive teeth.  

The character will personally thank viewers on their Facebook page, which would then notify the viewer’s Facebook friends about this and invite them to help Pasha too.

Within a month of launch, The Great Pasha Show has had over 271,000 unique visitors, 670,000 page views and 53,000 video views. The programme was advertised on YouTube Indonesia’s landing page masthead for the first three days of being launched. The campaign will run for three months.  

Adeline-Ausy Setiawan, country media head at Unilever Indonesia, said: "In Indonesia, there are 6.1 million users of YouTube every month. Also, Indonesians spend the longest time on YouTube compared to countries in Southeast Asia: 18.2 minutes. We leveraged this opportunity by launching the brand channels for ULI brands, pioneered by Pepsodent Sensitive Expert."
