Story VELVET TOILET TISSUE: CREATING A NEW BRAND



How do you replace one of the nation’s best-loved brand names – on a low–interest category product – without losing brand share?

Roose solved this problem for SCA Hygiene by creating an even more powerful brand icon. The amusing lady featured is a snobbish suburban busybody for whom Velvet toilet tissue is the height of luxury and sophistication. And the consumers love her.

In fact, since Kleenex was dropped from the Velvet advertising, far from declining, market share has actually increased.
