His beliefs coincide with Watsons pursuit of building one’s healthy body from inside out.”[gallery link="file" ids="92611,92612"]Further raising the brand’s profile, the campaign also rides on PakHo’s Instagram and Facebook pages, generating more than 100,000 likes from just the four campaign posts.The campaign spans above-the-line and in store activities, social media and digital. A high profile press event with a PR value of more than HK$6 million to announce the celebrity endorsement also marks the first time DDB has handled Watsons’ activation business.Valiant Yip, business director at DDB Group Hong Kong, said: “We recognised that Watsons needed a new approach that would work across all platforms to communicate the right lifestyle attitude for the brand.
