“Scratch & Sniff” reimagined outdoor advertising by embedding aroma-encapsulation technology into billboards and print ads, creating an interactive, real-world product trial.
Built around an everyday but rarely acknowledged male habit—scratching and sniffing—we turned this instinctive behaviour into an engaging brand moment.
The activation was simple yet effective, leveraging two familiar elements: the nostalgic scratch & sniff technology used in children’s cards and the universal male behaviour of scratching and sniffing themselves. This intuitive dynamic made interaction effortless and participation inevitable.
By blending humour, interactivity, and sensory engagement, we transformed traditional OOH into a tactile, shareable experience. This wasn’t just an ad, it was a cultural moment that got people talking, laughing, and, most importantly, trying the product.
