Colgate is launching its new Optic White Vitamin C and bringing J-Hope into the ads, where he promotes the new product, highlighting its ability to remove 7 years of stains in 7 days.

- Kenapa Harus Peduli?
- Nostalgia – The goodie bag leaned into familiar childhood items like kelereng and karet gelang.
○ A Missed Brand Moment? Sari Wangi or Teh Sosro could tap into this. The goodie bag could have been a space to introduce something unexpected, useful, or culturally relevant that people would actually remember.
○ Moving Forward – I actually expected it to showcase brands or products that have become part of Indonesia’s cultural memory, but instead it was more focused on nostalgia through traditional games.
