Glad turns garbage day into a workout

Glad is once again emphasizing strength to build emotional resonance with customers, this time with a full-fledged “Glad Strength Training Program.”

In two other recent campaigns, the Clorox garbage bag brand brought strength to the fore as way of driving interest in a low engagement category. Now, the company is encouraging Canadians to use garbage day as a reason to workout.

A 60-second film appearing on Facebook features the company’s “garbage man” clad in coveralls, a sweatband, legwarmers and runners undertaking the “Glad Strength Training Program,” a series of exercises that in addition to serving as a training program, demonstrate the strength of Glad garbage bags.

The latest video is the third in a series intended to drive interest in a low-engagement category, following the brand’s “Thank-you” and “The Big Lift” campaigns. The former, from 2017, featured the garbage man showing appreciation for a Glad-user through a long embrace on the streetside, whereas January’s “Big Lift” showed the trash collector using heavy bags to work out on the lawn.
