Lil-lets is a well established brand, having launched over 50 years ago. Lil-lets is the number one non-applicator tampon brand in the UK and also has a range of applicator tampons. Lil-lets had not advertised on TV since 2003, and thought it timely to communicate with women about its tampon range, and establish the 'Trust Lil-lets to understand' strapline in the minds of consumers. Lil-lets also wanted to keep the brand top of mind, encourage loyalty amongst 25-44 year old users and ultimately drive sales.
