Kimberly-Clark unveiled a new television commercial to coincide with the launch of its latest campaign, which encourages parents to use Pull-Ups as a vital tool in potty training their child. In the 30 second advert, on screens for six weeks, from 1 May, children are seen graduating to 'big kids' after successfully completing their potty training journey with Huggies(R) Pull-Ups(R). The commercial highlights the functional benefits of Huggies(R) Pull-Ups(R) compared to a generic nappy-pant, showing they are less bulky and easier to pull up and down like real underwear. The unique wetness indicator is also highlighted to demonstrate how Huggies(R) Pull-Ups(R) can help children to understand the feeling of being wet and dry. The launch of the new TV advertisement will be supported by an integrated campaign which includes print, digital and PR media, following a substantial investment by the manufacturer for 2013.
