The topics of health and hygiene by the public has increased exponentially around the world, over the last year or so due to the ongoing global pandemic. Due to this ongoing battle with the global pandemic, there is an increased awareness, learning and greater understanding, especially among families with young children, of the well-being benefits of keeping clothes germ and bacteria free. LG Electronics (LG) has always strive to provide their customers with solutions for a better and healthier life, with the ideal hygienic clothing management system, the LG styler™, which takes centre stage in the LG’s new campaign, LG styler x Baby Shark delightful campaign, along with international mega hit, Pinkfong Baby Shark.
This LG campaign is kicking off with a joyous video collaboration and easy-to-follow dance challenge, promoting the importance of healthy clothing care and family. Set to the catchy tune and funky moves of YouTube’s No.1 most viewed video Baby Shark dance, this LG video highlights the many benefits of the LG styler™. Five family members, aligning with the five members of the ‘Shark Family,’ are shown dancing and using the styler™ to refresh and revitalize a range of items, from soft toys to clothes to face masks.
In the video, the lyrics of the hit song have been changed to mention the styler™’s unique clothing care features. These include the Moving Hanger, which shakes out fine dust particles, TrueSteam™ technology, which eliminates odors, reduces wrinkles (1) and removes 99.9 percent of house dust mites, bacteria, and viruses (2), and Pants Crease Care, which creates a sharp crease to make any pair of pants or slacks office-ready.
