To love your hair all day long is a powerful thing. You feel more confident and comfortable with yourself. One might say – you let your hair down. So, we did what anyone confidently in love would do: wrote a love song.
We partnered with Latin American pop sensation, Tini, to bring our song to life and launched our campaign with its very own music video.
Made with Emily Pracher (AD) and Arturo Macouzet (CD) at Grey NY.
Awards: PRWeek Global Awards 2020: Campaign of the year, and Best Campaign LATAM.
Results: The campaign grew year-over-year Pantene sales in Latin America by 180% and increased market share by more than 115%.
“Suéltate el Pelo” music video reached 3.2 mm views in its first two days and it's Tini’s fourth most popular song on Spotify.
Does the love for your hair only last for a couple of hours? Don't let that happen ever again. With Pantene, love it all day long.
New Pantene Combing Creams, for all hair types. They leave your hair perfectly defined and frizz-free. And its fragrance lasts all day long.
With hair like this, what's not to love?
Our stars Tini, Camila, and Luna shared how letting one’s hair down is an expression of self-love.
We launched Pantene’s new tagline rooted in a cultural truth: there's a strong hair bias in Latin America. So, as the leading haircare brand in the region, Pantene wanted to make the case that hair is a powerful tool for self-realization and self-expression.
To help bring this tagline and anthem to life, we cast real people and influencers from all Latin America and with different hairstyles to show that no matter how you style your hair, it will always have something to say.
Made with Danielle Briffa (AD), Luiza Justus (Sr. CW), and Arturo Macouzet (CD) at Grey NY.
"Look at her hair". "She's crying for attention". "It's almost like she doesn't even care". "She should dye it". "So unprofessional".
VO:
When people talk... Pantene hair talks back. Because Pantene hair does not live up to the expectations of others. It defies stereotypes. And can play any role. It makes you feel authentic. And reminds you how much you've grown.
Pantene hair doesn't have to cover what comes naturally. And it certainly pushes you to live at full blast.
Because when your hair is just the way you want it – it will always have something to say. No matter what others may say.
Because Pantene hair has a lot to say.
PANTENE HAIR SAYS IT ALL.
When they say “artificial”, my hair says “original”
When they say “another brunette”, my hair says “another day of not giving in”
When they say “unkempt”, my hair says “unafraid”
When they say “extravagant” my hair says “unstoppable”
When they say “out of control”, my hair says “I know exactly where I’ll go”
When they say “rebel”, my hair says “simply different”
A few of our cast shared what does it mean to own their hair and how they're changing the norm. We showcased these stories across social media.
Every woman knows that by starting her day strong can set the pace for how the rest of her day unfolds. And who better than Selena Gomez, a role model for millions of Mexicanas, to show that starting strong is worth gold.
Made with Emily Pracher (AD) and Arturo Macouzet (CD) at Grey NY.
A new day is a new opportunity to start strong.
To grow and live new adventures. To express how you feel and be exactly who you are. To take risks and inspire others to do so too.
It’s a new day to celebrate and share those moments you’ll never forget. We’re ready for anything and everything, and we’re not going to stop.
With Pantene hair, I’m not going to stop. Will you?
In order to conquer my day, I need to start strong. And so does my hair.

To celebrate the joy of winning the 2023 NBA championship, we partnered with legendary artist and lifelong NBA fan, Futura, to create a unique piece of art made entirely of Michelob ULTRA bottles. The custom piece was then deconstructed and the Denver Nuggets took a one-of-one championship bottle home!

No other sport lends itself to superstition more than baseball. From Boggs eating chicken before each game to players engaging in "rally cap” behavior.
That’s why on Opening Day we launched Buena Suerte Kit by Presidente: a good luck kit filled with tokens, charms, and a ritual guide so fans can do anything that’s in their power (literally) to bring good luck to their MLB team.

Kevin Harvick was Busch Light’s longtime NASCAR partner, so when he announced his retirement in 2023, we knew we had to do something special.
With a budget of 10K, we created a finishing tank wrap in the St.Louis brewery honoring The Closer’s career, and created a week-long social roll out celebrating Kevin’s and Busch’s greatest moments together.
Made with Kristen Price (ACD), Carolyn Lee (Sr.AD), and Morgan Winter (Sr.Designer) at draftLine.
Press:
We surprised Harvick with a finishing tank days before his final race.
As part of our social roll out, we asked consumers to walk down memory lane with us and pick their all-time favorite Busch x Harvick paint scheme.
Next up: Harvick’s best wins. We prompted consumers to share their favorite win with us in a thread post.
Fans signed our retirement card by replying with their best Harvick memory.
And to wrap things up, fellow NASCAR drivers shared their best memories with The Closer.
Humbled and proud I got to revamp a classic.

Expectations were high – I'm Mexican.

Woman talking to co-worker: My trip to Mexico City surprised me at every step of the way – with its multiple palaces and the grand plaza. But finding a castle nestled in the middle of the city, knocked me off my feet.
Announcer: The "Castillo de Chapultepec" is the only fort in the American continent that's been home to a sovereign. It is located inside the Chapultepec park, which serves as the city's lung.
