Tide Ultra is an affordable offering that will truly delight consumers who are looking for superior cleaning in machines. Over last few years, we’ve been focused on constantly innovating and upgrading our portfolio to deliver an outstanding laundry experience. We also realise that for a mother, her children come first.

It is the same spirit that she brings even to her laundry, where she strives for an outstanding clean – especially for important garments like school uniforms. We bring this context to life in an enjoyable TVC which taps into the booming rap culture in the country! In true Tide style, the communication is intended to be a fun, quirky take on how dirty clothes should not come in the way of your child’s all-round progress, and this new offering designed specially for washing machines cleans outstandingly well!
