Surf Excel/OMO - The Stained Screen

AD STARS Finalist

Across 14 leading broadcast channels for an entire day and a half, Pakistanis watching everything from entertainment to news, found dried stains obscuring part of their screens. Bewildered, people took to social media (after attempting to wipe their screens) trying to figure out why these stains were popping up on screens everywhere and more importantly, who put them there. Speculation was rife, as the hashtag #WhatTheDaagh (What The Stain) became the top trending topic of the day on Twitter and Instagram, with people posting pictures of the different stains caught on camera. The internet saw people expressing their exasperation, others their plain amusement, and some posting wild theories about who is to blame for this invasion of their TV space. In the final act of the first-of-its-kind stunt, several news and show anchors addressed the stains on their screens, imploring their camera-men to clean them off, each of them failing to remove the persistent stains from the camera lens. Finally putting this commotion to rest and marking the launch of its reformulation with Stain Lifter technology, Surf Excel stepped up to claim responsibility of cleaning these stains from TV all while calling itself the true Daaghoun Ka Champion (The Stain Boss).
