Attack The Ingredient Not The Brand – Is Burt’s Bees’ New Campaign On The Right Track?

burts-bees-ad.jpgBurts Bees and their corporate parent, Clorox, will launch a new advertising campaign this month :

Burt’s Bees will debut a breakthrough advertising campaign, “Natural Vs.” in early February 2008. Created to address confusion among consumers over what constitutes a truly natural product, …each (ad will) depict the difference between benefits of natural ingredients in Burt’s Bees products vs. the surprising — even shocking — ingredients found in non-natural personal care products.

The two ads are specific in naming ingredients found in competitive products. The lip balm ad defines petroleum, found in many lip care products, as a “nonrenewable hydrocarbon made from crude oil… sometimes used to stop corrosion on car batteries.”

Wow!
