Media Partners for National Kissing Day

Smint 

In 2015, Smint joined National Kissing Day in December and again in June that year, with a campaign on being 'fresh to impress'.  The aim was to raise awareness with the broadcast media of the sampling events and ongoing "Fresh to Impress" Campaign, as well as arrange a series of media interviews driving home the message that fresh breath affects first impression in business by using the experience of a business etiquette expert/psychologist.

According to Smint, new research highlights the importance of good hygiene, with many admitting to being conscious of the smell of their breath first thing in the morning, before a meeting and after every meal. Having fresh breath is essential for a business environment and confidence at work.

The campaign was able to reach an audience of over 33 million and the June interview broadcasting on 32 radio stations. Below is the billboard poster posted in London of Smint's partnership with National Kissing Day.

CB12


CB12 has been a partner numerous times. The CB12 Bad Breath Report revealed how morning breath is a concern for half the women in the UK (49%), compared with 34% of men. Dating is another area of anxiety, with over a quarter of us worrying about the freshness of our breath before a date.

Understandably, a number of us are worried about halitosis after a
meal, with women being more concerned about bad breath than
men (women = 28%, men = 17%). Most people encounter bad breath at some point in their lives. It’s caused by bacteria in the
oral cavity, around the teeth and in the gum pockets, as well as in
crypts on the back of the tongue.

The campaign aimed to communicate the findings of the CB12 Bad Breath Report and inform consumers and healthcare professionals about the launch of CB12 and encourage product trial and recommendation. 

It reached an audience of over 4 million and resulted in 15 items of coverage in 2013.
