MUMBAI, INDIA — Most people are all too familiar with the pungent smell that follows the application of various pain relief gels. Whilst one may or may not get relief from the pain, the smell is a certainty and can be off-putting, Iodex Ultra Gel addressed exactly that and came up with pain relief, and a brand-new campaign, without the usual smell.
A series of five short films in a distinctive animation style was created by creative agency GREY Group India.

Bineet Jain, Pain & Respiratory Health Lead, India Subcontinent, Haleon said, “Iodex is a heritage brand which has been trusted for many generations with a strong portfolio of products spanning across gel, spray, and balm. Leveraging the insight that applying regular pain gel leads to social embarrassment due to a characteristic smell associated with such gels, Iodex Ultragel with its emulgel formula provides pain relief without any smell. Targeting the consumer cohort of working professionals, a series of digital films have been created for everyday situations that we hope will resonate with the audience.”
“Most pain gels in the market have an odor, and it doesn’t bother the sufferer as much as it bothers the people around. That was the premise we worked with and what came of it were five fun films that highlighted a relatable moment and the efficacy of the product. The animation style, choice of colors, and writing behind each film were crafted to make the films sticky and fun,” said Averred Arjun Bhimwal and Piyush Jain, Group CD’s, GREY Group India.
“The brief was as sharp as the product proposition. Convey the unique benefit of No smell, only relief’ in an engaging and entertaining way. At the heart of every story is the product benefit, each anchored by a strong insight, and it also manages to put a smile on your face. That’s what makes these short films special,” said Rahul Pahwa, Sr. VP and Head (North) GREY Group India.
