About Glad’s Torture Test Campaign
With Glad’s Tortue Test campaign, the brand proves that its garbage bags could stand up to extreme leaks and bad odours. To prove this the brand released two very dramatic and extreme spots. The spots are a continuation of the brand’s 'Torture Tests' campaign. To create the campaign worked with the creative agency FCB to run the torture test on its product. The torture test involved two tests, 'Apartment Leap' and 'Ultimate Noses'. In 'Apartment Leap', one of its garbage bags is tested to see if it can pass one of the toughest tests. The test involves putting the trash bad through a very rough and extreme stunt to see if it would leak and still hold its materials. They featured a Hollywood stunt woman who used the garbage to carry out a very daring stunt. As you guessed Glad’s garbage passed the test and held its materials without a single leak. https://youtu.be/CWY0im51z80 The second test which is called Ultimate Nose used elite sniffer dogs. They asked the elite sniffer dogs to try to figure out the contents of a Glad bag against competitors. Naturally, the canines fail to dissect the Glad bag. https://youtu.be/n_Uhw6hw2lE
