Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Global antiseptic brand Dettol, together with its creative agency, Kingdom Digital has recently launched its latest campaign in celebration of Malaysia’s National Day.

Produced by Imagineers Film, Dettol and Kingdom Digital’s campaign film aims to celebrate firefighters and the one common legacy they share, which is to protect at all costs.

The film, titled ‘A New Legacy to Protect’,  features TPgB Syed Shahril Anuar, the station chief of the Subang Jaya Fire Station, as he shares how his late father inspired him to become the person he is today and to carry on the legacy his father began.

Tiffany Tang, the marketing director of health and hygiene at Dettol Malaysia, said, “Dettol exists to protect lives by reducing the burden of illness because keeping people healthy and safe is at the forefront of our minds. It is our mission to inculcate good hygiene habits to break the chain of infection through trusted science and innovative developments. Protection is more than action. Rather, a legacy we all share for generations.”

Meanwhile, Edmund Lou, head of strategy at Kingdom Digital, said, “Frontliners have been and will always be at the forefront of protection. Then there are the firefighters, the least celebrated frontliners. And to meet a firefighter with a strong heritage and meaningful legacy was truly an unexpected blessing.”

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Germ protection brand Dettol in Malaysia has launched its latest campaign in celebration of Parents’ Day. The campaign was conceptualised by Dettol’s newly appointed digital agency, Kingdom Digital, and produced by Imagineers Film.

Titled ‘A Parent’s Promise: Keeping Our Children Protected & Loved’, the 3-minute film highlights the journey of new parents as they navigate the challenges and excitement of parenthood. The film features two sets of new and young parents — Reuben Kang and Kelly Kang, as well as Alam Wakaka and Alisya Najwa. 

Through fun and relatable questions about their roles at home, such as who’s the stricter parent and who’s the chief hygiene officer, the film showcases the challenges that these new parents face in raising a little one while also highlighting the joy and rewards of parenthood.

Commenting on the campaign, Tiffany Tang, marketing director for health and hygiene of Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam of Dettol Malaysia, said, “We’re excited about this latest initiative for Parents’ Day. We believe our consumers who are new parents and going through the same thing will find the stories relatable.”

Tang added, “At Dettol, we understand that things may not always go according to plan in parenthood, so our hygiene solutions are designed to make it easy for them to feel protected, confident, assured, and have the peace of mind to take on whatever the day may bring.”

Edmund Lou, head of strategy of Kingdom Digital, also said, “We understand that new parents often turn to social media and influencers for advice and tips on navigating parenthood. That’s why we based our campaign concept on this human insight, featuring two pairs of young parents who are also content creators to share their experiences via an engaging online film.”

The campaign will be running for one month and the online film is now available to watch on Dettol’s social media channels and the influencers’ Instagram pages.
