Oral-B iO9 activation

01 — Challenge

Make an electric toothbrush interesting to young players.

The iO9 was a high-tech flagship, but oral care is the last category a gaming audience wants marketed to them.

02 — Insight

Precision and performance are gamer values too.

This audience respects engineering and stats. Framed right, a precision device speaks their language.

Speak to the gamer’s love of gear, not their gums.

Oral-B iO9 product

03 — Approach

Position the iO9 as precision gear, not a chore.

We activated inside gaming culture with a performance-and-precision narrative, letting creators treat the device like a piece of high-spec kit.

04 — The Work

An unlikely product that earned a place in the feed.

Creator integrations, a precision-led product film, and in-game moments that made oral care feel unexpectedly cool.
