Benjamin Moore Targets Women with ‘Enticing’ Paint

November 2006 047.jpg

Here’s a gift for the vixen in your life. Invite her to discover her Aura, a new line Benjamin Moore calls “the finest paint we’ve ever made.” According to the copy Aura is deeper, richer and more enticing than normal.

The campaign features the usual gimmicks intended to appeal to the senses of the yoga mama: soft nude graphics, colours that look like writhing bodies under satin, and flowers.

We’ve seen the ad in the train station for weeks without actually knowing what it was for. In fact, we had to kneel over the tracks and really look at it, thus risking our lives, before we worked it out. From a distance it looks like it’s for tomato soup, maybe with a breast cancer awareness thing going on. A sexy soup. A sexy paint. Does there really a difference make? – Contributed by Angela Natividad
