Madame Pearl's 70th anniversary — idea to launch.

For the 70th anniversary of Madame Pearl's (珮夫人) — Hong Kong's No.1 cough brand for 16 years running — Hypertree ran the entire campaign end to end: the idea, the casting, the TVC production, and an integrated ViuTV, TVB and MTR media buy. It's the largest campaign we've delivered.

The brief

A 70th anniversary worthy of a household name.

Madame Pearl's has been a fixture of the Hong Kong medicine cabinet since 1954 — the city's No.1 cough brand for 16 consecutive years. For its 70th anniversary, the brief was to celebrate that heritage and stay top-of-mind with a new generation of parents, without losing the trust built over seven decades.

The answer had to be more than an ad. It needed a single idea carried consistently across television, streaming and the daily commute — produced, cast and bought as one campaign, on one timeline. Hypertree took the whole thing on as a turnkey engagement.

One idea, one team — from the first concept to the day it launched across Hong Kong.

What we delivered

End to end, in five phases.

01

Idea & strategy

We built the 70th-anniversary platform — a warm, family-first idea that reframed “which cough remedy do I choose?” around parents caring for their kids, tying the milestone to everyday trust.

02

Casting

We cast the on-screen family end to end — dad 鍾嘉源, mum Snowy Choi and child talent 加藤新一 — sourcing, auditioning and booking the talent that made the story land.

03

Production

Full turnkey production on a single shoot day: a 30-second TVC plus a 15-second cut-down for Madame Pearl's Cough Syrup, a dedicated 15-second TVC for the children's cough syrup, and five key visuals — director, crew, location, post and all rights included.

04

Media planning & buying

An integrated TV + streaming + OOH plan bought with direct station relationships: ViuTV, TVB (Jade + Plus), myTVSUPER and a 32-panel MTR digital run across nine of Hong Kong's busiest stations.

05

Launch

Everything went live on one coordinated timeline — TV spots, the ViuTV title sponsorship, streaming and the MTR takeover reinforcing one message across every touchpoint of a Hong Konger's day.
