This seven-second video sequence features four Unilever household cleaning, personal care and food products displayed against a deep blue and purple gradient background. Each product is presented individually – slowly rotating to emphasise its design and packaging details.
Detailed description
The first frame opens with a striking teal-green aerosol can with a white cap. The can is positioned diagonally. The label design features bold typography, which reads: “72 hour Odour Control. Rexona Men. Whole Body Deo. Ocean Rush. 0% Aluminium. Pits, Privates, Feet and Beyond”. The iconic Rexona silver tick logo is also present on the front of the can.
The video then transitions to a close-up of a white bottle with a large green label featuring the word “Cif”. The bottle is positioned diagonally. The video zooms in to highlight the recognisable branding.
The next frame showcases a white Dove bottle with a clean, elegant design with black and gold accents. The gold Dove logo is positioned towards the top. The wording on the bottle reads: “Dove. Bond Strength. Damage Therapy. Conditioner. Bio-Protein Care and Peptide Complex. Works in harmony with hair to repair three years of visible damage. Four-step system”.
The final frame features a glass jar with a green lid containing a yellow-orange sauce. The label reads: “Knorr. Fast and Flavourful Cooking Paste. Roasted chicken, lemon and pepper”. The image on the label shows floating lemon slices and brown peppercorns, with a chunk of roasted chicken positioned on a fork.

“We have delivered another quarter of competitive growth, led by continued strong volume delivery and a step up in price to offset the impact of higher commodity costs. Our Power Brands continued to lead performance, with strong growth across Home Care, Personal Care and Beauty & Wellbeing. Emerging markets were again a key driver, with broad-based growth across markets, led by India and continued strength in Latin America. Developed market performance reflected tougher prior year comparators and softer market conditions particularly in Foods. We are performing while transforming Unilever. We are becoming simpler and sharper, with greater focus and stronger execution as we drive Desire at Scale across our brands. This progress gives us confidence that we will now deliver at least 3% volume growth for the full year. At our Investor Event in November, we will set out how this transformation is creating a stronger, more focused Unilever capable of delivering sustained, competitive performance.”
