We turned Tina’s Uterus into a workplace for pain.

While most ads sugarcoat menstrual pain, we went full throttle into the real, raw, and often ridiculous experience women face every month. “Tina’s Uterus,” became a workplace for pain, where employees brainstorm creative ways to bring Tina misery. It was dark, it was hysterical, and it was brutally honest—just like the way women talk about their periods. The result? Motrin didn’t just offer relief; it became the brand women trusted to truly understand their pain. We saw a 185% sales increase and turned a neglected product into a social media hero.

When we were tasked to develop a campaign for Motrin, consumers described the pain medication brand as the RC Cola to Tylenol’s Coke and Advil’s Pepsi. With a declining < 3.5% market share, Motrin was about to be delisted. To drive sales without any functional competitive advantage, we had to create an emotional bond with consumers, strong enough to breakthrough, make a connection, and change behaviour.

Make pain even more temporary with MOTRIN® Liquid Gels.
