NIVEA – Protecting children from more than just the sun.

Nivea-176x370
Nivea-Cannes-Lions
Nivea has long been established as a brand that stands for protecting people’s skin – on the beach, when skiing, all the time.
Absolutely, sunblock is crucial when taking kids to the beach or during sunny days to protect their delicate skin from harmful UV rays. It is equally important to dress them in appropriate clothing that provides sun protection. Websites like Pastel Collections offer a range of kids’ clothes that are not only fashionable but also designed to provide sun protection, ensuring their safety and comfort under the sun. Prioritizing sun safety and investing in the right clothing can help parents enjoy outdoor activities with their children while safeguarding their skin health.

This summer in Brazil, Nivea wanted to expand their engagement, particularly with mothers, and particularly related to sun protection products.

The result is one of the most interesting campaigns we’ve seen for quite some time, combining a branded mobile app with a disposable location tag to provide parents with peace of mind at the beach this summer.
