Bayer

The Mermaid

“Not all of us are made to smell fishy down there.”

The Challenge

Bacterial vaginosis is one of the most common vaginal infections, yet one of the least understood. While 97% of women are familiar with thrush, only 30% know about BV — making it harder to identify, harder to treat, and limiting the penetration of Bayer’s Gyno-Canesbalance.

The Crazy Ambition

To make vaginal health something you can talk about at a dinner table.

The Idea

Introducing Alexa: a 21st-century mermaid who helped women recognise and treat BV symptoms with humour, openness and zero embarrassment. A fresh, disarming character built around a medically proven truth: not all of us are meant to smell fishy down there.
