See the Spot: Mr. Clean Jingle Returns, Rocking a New World in Three Languages
Posted in: Uncategorized
Mr. Clean’s 57-year-old jingle is making a comeback, with a hipper treatment and versions in Spanish and French, as the brand looks to refresh its appeal for a new generation.
New 15- and 30-second spots breaking today from Leo Burnett Canada aim to revive the jingle, which originally ran 60 seconds in 1959. They briefly feature Mr. Clean rocking out on an electric guitar, but generally, as he did years ago, he goes acoustic in every room of the house to prove his multi-purpose versatility. He’ll appear in both digital media and TV.
“There’s really something magical in the jingle,” said Kevin Wenzel, associate brand director for North American surface care at Procter & Gamble Co. “It’s amazing how our loyal fans will still sing that jingle back to us even though it’s been at least a decade [since it was used in ads]. The jingle was relevant 50 years ago. And it’s still relevant today.”
