The advertising campaign will include national television, cinema and print. It has been created by TBWA/ London, with planning and buying through Carat. In the TV commercial, an animated SilverHealing plaster is shown descending on rocket-powered feet, with a voiceover from actor Brian Blessed.

Beiersdorf category marketing manager for personal care Samantha Wright says: “The first-aid category is a mature, low-interest market, which has followed the same advertising conventions for years. Beiersdorf and TBWA/London saw a need to revive the category and engage with consumers on a level beyond product benefit.”
