Remember Cillit Bang, the Reckitt Benckiser cleaning product synonymous with naff advertising? Maybe intentionally naff – but naff all the same.
Well RB, as it now calls itself, has decided to move the brand up a few notches with its first global campaign, from BETC Paris, featuring Flashdancing Daniel Cloud Campos, a dancer on Madonna’s stage tours (brave man). ‘Almost Makes Cleaning Exciting,’ it says, so still tongue-in-cheek (assuming the original was).
