For the Almagel® A campaign, we moved away from the traditional, conservative pharmaceutical approach to antacid advertising.

The key message of the campaign: Almagel® A effectively combats not only heartburn but also intense stomach pain that often comes with it, all in just a few minutes. To visually represent the product’s action, we collaborated with skilled metal sculptors, highlighting its effectiveness in tackling both heartburn and its painful consequences. The TV campaign was accompanied by an OLV launch and POS materials in pharmacies.

Almagel® A targets individuals who already recognize the problem and are careful in their choice of medication. These are men and women aged 35+ who frequently suffer from heartburn. They prioritize good nutrition and seek a reliable, effective remedy that works quickly and is always available when they are at home or work.

Heartburn divides people into two groups—those who think «it’s not a problem,» and those who sigh «ugh, heartburn again.» For the first group, there’s Gastal, but for the rest, a stronger solution is needed. Thankfully, Almagel® A is here to help. There’s no place for jokes in this campaign—irony, sarcasm and puns are for other brands. No cozy office setting, only hardcore action: fire, sparks, a man grinding metal, a woman welding, a ton-heavy structure that could easily make its way to Burning Man. Everything’s real, intense, and powerful. In our latest ad, the amazing metal sculptor Alexandra Weld Queen takes center stage, alongside Almagel® A—both in bottles and sachets.
KEY CAMPAIGN MOMENTS

KEY CAMPAIGN MOMENTS

We needed to create distinct campaigns for Teva’s two antacid brands: Almagel® A and Gastal®. For a younger, active audience (ages 25-35), Gastal is marketed as an easy, quick solution to heartburn—think of it like a smartphone app. For those who are looking for a more robust option, Almagel® A provides a stronger solution.

This campaign is aligned with Teva’s philosophy: «Opening possibilities for accessible health,» delivering high-quality, effective treatments and vital health management tools.

Every little detail in this commercial reinforces the Almagel® A brand, distancing it from the younger counterpart Gastal. While Gastal is for the young and fast, Almagel® A is for those who have made up their minds and aren’t rushing. The commercial builds up the plot from the start. Viewers are hooked as they watch two professionals at work, wondering: What are they making? In the final moments, they discover—it’s the letter A. This clever and memorable visual is perfect for leaving a lasting impression.
