Trident Chew Through

In a crowded gum category driven by habit and impulse, Trident needed a culturally relevant way to build awareness and establish a more distinctive role in consumers’ everyday lives. Building on the existing CHEW THROUGH platform, we brought the idea into the real world through an experiential campaign rooted in the everyday stress of commuting. Bold transit takeovers in Philadelphia, Chicago and Atlanta brought the idea directly into consumers’ daily routines, while a surprise T-Pain performance during rush hour in Chicago transformed the campaign into an unexpected cultural moment. The result was a campaign that took Trident beyond the gum aisle and into the cultural conversation, connecting a habitual product with a universal human tension in a way that was disruptive, relevant and unmistakably Trident.
