Please tell us about the challenger brand and how your campaign challenged / was different from your competitors

We challenged classical product communication by turning the highlighter pen’s rational key benefit into an emotional benefit. Whilst competitors communicate new, artificial benefits for highlighter pens, we stick to the one and only benefit, combined it with a higher purpose and created relevance.
