Alfasigma, Armando Testa and Initiative together for the communication launch of the Onligol brand.

The new reference launched on the target market with a multi-channel campaign.

The pharmaceutical company ALfasigma represents a benchmark in the gastrointestinal area, both for consumer as well as primary care products. Today they are entering the laxatives market with the Onligol Line.

The Onligol brand is today addressing the general public for the first time. After winning the communication pitch, Armando Testa has been entrusted with supporting the launch of the brand on television, along with Initiative, working alongside the group to manage the media side.

At the heart of the creative idea we find the symbolism of constipation and its symptoms: a real “bummer of life” and if you suffer from it you feel its full weight and it prevents you from living life freely. This is where the action of Onligol comes into play, delicately freeing up the intestinal tract and “getting rid of the burden of constipation”, so that the protagonists finally feel relaxed again.

The film https://youtu.be/MBiu05R4FjU with an empathetic tone comes to life thanks to the colourful and dynamic direction from Paolo Monico.

The campaign has been on air since 26 May on main television stations and on digital channels.

The media strategy was developed by initiative with the goal to maximize coverage on main TV broadcasters, digital channels and platforms to introduce the new reference to the public, focusing on brand awareness and consideration.

With Daikin and Armando Testa savings in the air… and in the new campaign too

The collaboration between Daikin and the Armando Testa agency continues. This time the new campaign is dedicated to a cashback promotion for summer and winter.

The buzzword is “savings” that the team have translated into a fun and creative concept strictly linked to the activity of the brand: savings in the air.

Thanks to the friendly and vivacious tone of voice of the claim the quintessential icon of saving has undergone a reinterpretation.

Resulting in an unexpected and eye-catching key visual, focused on the classic piggy bank, reworked in a fun and ethereal version, almost as if there were balloons floating around the air conditioning unit. Very light and just like the price of the bills for anyone who buys a Daikin air conditioner.

The campaign is developed on a range of touch-points, including static assets, promotional materials for points of sale and a 30” radio ad. In addition, the animated version of the key visual is the focal point of a digital eco-system that will promote cashback on the brand’s social channels.

Riso Gallo and Armando Testa together again for Bontà Pronte. And it’s love at first sight!

Riso Gallo’s Bontà Pronte are communicating again on television, with a new flight of the ad that ran previously.

Bontà Pronte Riso Gallo will also be featured in outdoor for the first time, with a new campaign created by Armando Testa and with strategic planning in the neighbourhood of selected Esselunga points of sale in Turin and Florence.

To back up the TV and ooh campaigns, the flight will also be supported by a display campaign.

The star of the creativity once again is the flamboyant rooster. If he seduces the audience with the warmth and rhythm of his “singing” on TV, in the two outdoor subjects he takes on the role of a cooking enthusiast who has just fallen head over heels for the Bontà Pronte, and a culinary artist who can’t wait to create masterpieces.

After all, love and inspiration are the two most immediate feelings you experience when you sample Bontà Pronte Riso Gallo, perfect for letting your creativity run wild because they’re prepared with selected rice and top-quality ingredients, excellent as a base to start from and continue as you wish.

Planning managed by Media Italia.

With BioNike and InTesta your gaze, absolute.

The campaign for the new Absolute mascara is now on air. It enhances the beauty of your gaze while respecting all types of eyes, even the most sensitive.

If you want maximum delicacy but also maximum cosmetic performance for your eyes, don’t stop where every-day mascaras stop. You have to aim higher, to a level that beats comparison with anything else: the absolute.

This is the underlying insight in the BioNike TV campaign, developed by InTesta – Armando Testa Group, for the launch of its new Absolute Mascara, created to guarantee maximum tolerability even for the most sensitive eyes.

The TV campaign, directed by Andrea Marini, leads us into our ethereal and delicate imagination where the beautiful protagonist is looking for something absolutely exceptional to elevate her look. What? Thanks to BioNike’s dermatological experience and scientific innovation, here is a mascara that combines volume, length and curves the latest generation formula, adding to your beauty and respecting even the most sensitive eyes.

Absolute mascara is also enriched with active lash-care making lashes stronger application after application. The innovative curved applicator instantly lifts, curls and lengthens the lashes without clumping, for a fanned-out effect to get an open, uplifted look better than you might ever expect.

We couldn’t not mention the amazing location where the commercial was shot: the iconic Muralla Roja, the famous postmodern building, designed by Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill. A one-of-a-kind structure, composed of a maze of tone-on-tone coloured stairways that intersect, creating a truly spectacular and unforgettable labyrinth effect. The architectural structure also brings to mind the optical design of the Absolute mascara both for the colours and its square shape. But that’s not all. This location also becomes a symbol for the world of cosmetics, where the consumer risks getting disorientated by the range of various products on the market, when really, she is looking for something that never forces her to make compromises concerning her own well-being.

The creativity, featuring the claim “The absolute, for your gaze“ is an invitation to have greater expectations as far as your make-up is concerned. To never settle and always look for the best in terms of delicacy and cosmetic performance by choosing the product (and brand) that best combines both. Absolutely.

The TV campaign is on air in cuts of 20” and 15” and is supported by a print and digital campaign with shorter cuts for social use.
