MUH-TAY-ZIK | HOF-FER Tell Viewers to ‘Fear No Mess’ for Method

By Erik Oster 

MUH-TAY-ZIK | HOF-FER launched a new campaign for Method, in collaboration with interactive/digital agency Essence, entitled “Fear No Mess” which launches around the green cleaning brand’s 15th anniversary.

15 and 30-second spots illustrate the “Fear No Mess” tagline with inventive (and often kind of fun-looking) messes such as “Meatball Golf,” which is exactly what it sounds look. This :30 manages to promote the brand’s hand wash, all-purpose cleaner and laundry detergent over the memorable scene.

“Fruit Fan” pushes the same products with a similar approach: A woman selects various items from a shopping cart full of fruit and throws them through a fan at a man on the other side.

Next, the 15-second “Birthday” sees an older woman using a leaf blower on a birthday cake. A room full of guests are subsequently showered in cake and frosting.

It all makes for a memorable approach for a cleaning brand.

The spots manage to mention multiple products, and there’s plenty of room to dream up other fancifully dirty scenarios in future spots.
