SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL — Ever wondered what use that tiny pocket in your denim jeans could possibly have? It seems like agency AlmapBBDO was wondering the same thing, and they came up with an innovative idea that combines healthcare and fashion.
Bayer Aspirin is one of the go-to solutions for not only alleviating headaches and other pain relief needs but also for reducing the likelihood of strokes and heart-related problems. So, in their mission to remind people — particularly the younger crowd — of the importance of having Aspirin on-hand, Bayer Brazil partnered with AlmapBBDO and Brazilian fashion brands Amapô, Lilly Sarti, and Oriba to create custom jeans with tiny denim pockets to hold aspirin. With these pants, there’s no need to panic in tough situations. All you need to do is reach into the mini pockets for your ticket to pain relief and wellness.
As part of the initiative, Bayer has released a new film to promote the campaign. The video features young people dancing and strutting down a fashion runway lit by neon lights while clad in custom jeans.
The campaign will be launched through the Brazil editions of GQ and Vogue, and the limited line of custom jeans will be presented via a digital fashion show. To reach a wider audience of the target Gen Z market, the initiative will also be publicized by influencers like Luciana Gimenez (@lucianagimenez), John Drops (@Johndrops), and Mareu (@msuconic) to name a few. Some of the influencers will even be restyling their own jeans to include the tiny pockets to promote a DIY movement that not only looks fresh and fashionable but also highlights the importance of looking out for your own health.
