Sex appeal with a sense of humor… Recently ran into this campaign for Sara Lee’s toilet cleaning product, Ambi Pur (for the Australian market), featuring the combination of hospital grade disinfectant with fragrance that could pass for an attractive perfume. Certainly distinctive and a refreshing take on what is usually expected consumer product branding. Gotta love the Aussies…
