FEA is a cologne brand for teenage girlswith
feminine flowery scent.
However as more competitors offering new and
different scents to choose, girls are changing its
cologne brand based on what is new and cool.
With no new scents to offer, how can FEA be sexy
again for these girls?

CONSUMER TENSION:
Girls want to project itself as innocent people however their adolescent
hormone often(uncontrollably) tempt them to do not-so-innocent stuffs.
PRODUCT TRUTH: FEA‟s flowery scent smells like an innocent spirit –feminine and sweet.

Strategic Direction:
Portray FEA as the scent that lets you get away with anything.
Executional Strategy:
Dramatize the FEA‟s innocence effect by showing how a girl is not suspected
of doing „bad‟ deeds despite of much evidence proves otherwise.
