"In our new campaign, we wanted to communicate that Tide does a lot more than keep clothes looking their best," says Suzanne Watson, Associate Marketing Director, Tide North America.  "Tide celebrates people's diverse sense of style and their self-expression. The link between the importance of one's unique style and helping to keep it clean, bright and fresh is what we wanted to bring forward."

The campaign, a celebration of diverse American style and the fantastic "Tide clean," launched in market with a 30-second spot entitled "Show 'Em Your Style" – created by Saatchi & Saatchi of New York. "Style is an Option. Clean is Not," Tide's first holistic multi-touch campaign since 2007,  includes work from all Tide agency partners and will feature a series of new print ads, television spots, iMedia, OOH, in-store marketing, and public relations efforts.

"This campaign is a very fresh way to think about a detergent," says Maru Kopelowicz, Senior Vice President, Creative Director at Saatchi & Saatchi.  "'Tide's Style is an Option.  Clean is Not.' connects with people in a way that matters. We can talk about Tide's amazing cleaning through something that is really important to people: our clothes, and they way we look. Tide's promise is linked to the idea."

"Style is an Option. Clean is Not" also includes a modern update to the Tide Bullseye – one of the most recognizable logos in America. Tide took the essence of the Tide Bullseye – the concentric circles – and has used them to embellish the original Bullseye. The new treatment will be used in a variety of colors to differentiate Tide product variants.
