Febreze’s First-Ever Super Bowl Ad Celebrates A Great American Pastime: The Halftime Bathroom Break

Technology Helps Ensure Your Bathroom is Halftime Ready

CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, Febreze, an Official Sponsor of the NFL, unveiled its first-ever
Super Bowl ad, “America’s Halftime Bathroom Break.” The 30-second
Febreze spot
will air during the second quarter of Super Bowl LI on
Sunday, February 5th. Created by Grey New York, the spot is voiced-over
by actress Kathryn Hahn and provides a humorous look at the
always-anticipated Halftime #BathroomBreak – the phenomenon that occurs
as millions of football- and ad-loving fans rush to the bathroom in the
minutes between the halftime whistle and the halftime show.


The ad is conveniently timed to air just prior to America’s mad dash to
the can at halftime. It is an extension of Febreze’s brand new “Odor
Odes” marketing campaign, also voiced-over by Kathryn Hahn, which is
centered on how the things we love the most, can also stink.

The brand also produced a longer-form
film
that depicts the unifying moment we encounter in both
anticipation and celebration of the Halftime Bathroom Break on game day.
It tells the full Halftime #BathroomBreak story, and is based on a
consumer-behavior driven insight that when the whistle blows, the
Halftime Bathroom Break ensues. In fact, more toilets are flushed
between the second and third quarter of the Super Bowl than at any other
time during the year1.

“I had so much fun working with Febreze in making this spot, which
really is a humorous take on that squirm-in-your-seat moment we can ALL
relate to,” said Hahn. “Whether we are tuning into the Super Bowl for
the ads, the halftime show or even the game, let’s face it, any working
mom can you tell you the real MVP is your bathroom!”

The Super Bowl ad reflects the culmination of the brand’s Halftime
#BathroomBreak campaign, designed to remind consumers to get ready for
game time with New Febreze with OdorClearTM technology. It
includes: a 30-second TV teaser spot, a longer form online video,
digital ads, in-store and a PR campaign linked with Charmin.

“Last week we launched our toughest Febreze formula to date and an all
new brand marketing campaign. With over 100 million fans expected to
watch the Super Bowl this year — and the anticipated spikes in halftime
bathroom usage — we felt it was the perfect time and place to unveil
our first-ever Super Bowl ad,” said Martin Hettich, Vice President of
P&G Home Care North America and Brand Franchise Leader for Global Air
Care. “We’re capturing the experience of millions of game watchers as
they sit cross legged, squirming and holding it until halftime. It’s a
witty and relatable moment that Febreze is uniquely poised to own on
game day.”
