Who likes to rub, wipe, rinse, wring and wash for hours, every day? No one.A chore of cleaning, it is not quite pleasant. Otherwise, that would be known.We love the result, we like less the task. "Nobody likes to clean up": this is the reality El Kef is exploring through its latest advertising campaign. A daring bet for a brand of products ... cleaning. El Kef highlights the paradox of all the Cleaning products campaigns that celebrate the chores and tasks that await the Moroccan housewife in joy, dance and good humor. El Kef diverts these advertising codes: dancing and singing,

Elkef's communication strategy was to counteract all the advertising rhetoric on the market (used by Unilever and P & G) and break the codes of the category that showed consumers happy to clean up. Elkef's strategy was to break this false reality by shouting out loud what the consumer really thought.
