Australian singer Gabriella Cilmi has just won six Aria awards in Australia, taking out Best Female Artist, Breakthrough Artist: Single (Sweet About Me), Breakthrough Artist: Album (Lessons to be Learned), Best Pop Release (Lessons to be Learned), Highest Selling Single (Sweet About Me), and Single of the Year (Sweet About Me). Perhaps part of her success has been linked to her song, “Sweet About Me”, being used to sell deodorant around the world this year.
Rexona Sure
Unilever used Sweet About Me to promote Rexona (Sure in the UK) upside down roll-on deodorant, designed for the European market. Cilmi’s line, “The world’s a better place when it’s upside down”, ties in with the roll-on technology demonstrated by the model (Lisa Marie Stelly) in the commercial.
