Reckitt's brand Dettol is proud to be honoured 'Outstanding Personal Hygiene Marketing Solution' for its success brought by the 'Keep on to Protect Our Future' post-pandemic hygiene protection habit sustaining campaign, in the 'Health Partnership Awards 2022' organised by ET Net, a prominent local media in Hong Kong. The award recognised Dettol's efforts in encouraging consumers to embrace better life in the future by maintaining good hygiene habits under the new normal.

Hong Kong people have been frustrated from fighting against COVID-19 outbreak in the past two years and looking forward to resuming their life. Dettol believes good hygiene habit is the foundation of health. The brand launched 'Keep on to Protect Our Future' campaign (the Campaign) in May 2022 to encourage local families to continue protecting their loved ones from illness-causing germs with Dettol products.

The Campaign promoted the positive message of being well-protected and hence living happier lives. An emotional music video featured the message from Karena Lam, Dettol's long-standing brand ambassador, to the kids over a letter about how much a mom is keen on creating and protecting their children's future. Coupled with the daily happy moments of Hong Kong families during the pandemic and a kid-covered background song - 'The beauty of the world' by Eddy Chow, one of the most popular songs in Hong Kong in 2021, the video had aroused extensive resonance with audiences. Dettol further drove consumer engagement through multiple touch points, including massive outdoor displays and online-to-offline social media activation.

The Campaign has been proven to have strengthened brand credibility and positively influenced local consumers. Since its launch, the campaign video has driven over 30 million social impressions and accumulated over 3 million views across different social media platforms. An internal consumer test study among those who watched the video showed 95% of the respondents agreed that 'Good hygiene habits can protect us and the next generation' and 93% agreed 'Dettol can protect our loved ones'. Meanwhile, nearly 80% would 'keep good hygiene habits even post-COVID' and over 70% of them would like to 'trust and keep using Dettol products.'

With a strong commitment to building a caring and resilient society, Dettol has also been extending its impact on hygiene protection to the local community through different programmes with outstanding results. Through Dettol Health Academy, over 1 million local students have been educated on handwashing steps to help them establish good hygiene habits since 2011. In addition, under Reckitt's Hong Kong Community Care Programme 2022, Dettol has supported close to 13,000 beneficiaries with product donation within the first 3 months of launch.

"It is our honour to receive the Health Partnership Awards for the third consecutive years." said Boudewijn Feith, Reckitt General Manager Hong Kong/Taiwan. "The award recognises Dettol's excellent marketing campaign that inspired local families to embrace better lives by keep on protecting their loved ones. Looking ahead, we will continue to protect local community in every moment by realising our purpose to protect, heal and nurture in the relentless pursuit of a cleaner, healthier world with excellent products, services and diverse marketing strategies."

Amazfit, a leading global smart wearables brand of Zepp (NYSE: ZEPP), welcomes a new member to the brand's smart band collection, the Amazfit Band 7. This latest addition to the series promises outstanding battery performance and a range of upgraded sports features, along with a large immersive display and an exciting selection of colorful straps.

The Amazfit Band 7's battery comes with a mega capacity of 232 mAh, which is brimming with enough power to last for up to 18 days of typical usage or up to 28 days when on battery saver mode. This allows users to enjoy the smart band's dynamic features with greater comfort, and stay connected to their life, not their charger.

To help users quickly and easily see the health and fitness data that's important to them, the Amazfit Band 7 has an enlarged 1.47" HD AMOLED display with a viewable area that's 112% bigger than the previous generation. Users can set the display to be always-on, and this, coupled with the smart band's light 28g body, means that users can enjoy a fitness tracker that is just as convenient as it is comfortable.

The Amazfit Band 7 provides a wide range of 120 sports modes to choose from, and, to make fitness easy, can even automatically recognize four everyday sports - including walking, running, and working out on elliptical and rowing machines. Users can wear this smart band while swimming, thanks to its 5 ATM water-resistance grade, and it is also equipped with Amazfit's self-developed motion recognition ExerSenseTM algorithm and the brand's PeakBeatsTM workout status algorithm, which tracks professional performance data like VO2 Max.

The Amazfit Band 7 can be set to monitor the user's blood-oxygen saturation, heart rate and stress level for 24 hours a day, and send reminders when there are particular abnormalities in the data. And for a quick health status overview, one tap of this smart band can simultaneously measure these three metrics. To measure specific data, users can choose to test health metrics like blood-oxygen individually at any time, for a result in as fast as 15 seconds.

The Amazfit Band 7 makes it easy to keep on top of your health. Along with the brand's well-known PAI Health Assessment System and the ability to track and predict menstrual and fertile periods, the smart band can also track different sleep stages – including the light, deep and REM stages – and can show sleep data directly on the device display, for added convenience.

The Amazfit Band 7 comes in two colors, including classic black and elegant beige. Users can also personalize their smart band through a variety of four exciting strap colors, including pink, orange, blue and green, to complement different outfits. More than 50 watch faces with matching always-on displays are available, and users can even upload an image of their own choice to the background.

The brand's intuitive Zepp OS, with smooth animations and a tailored UI, enhances the user experience of the Amazfit Band 7, while the built-in Amazon Alexa smart assistant helps makes everyday tasks easier [1]. The device's rich mini-app ecosystem also includes over 10 mini-apps for users to select from, to enhance daily life.

Highlighting its ongoing commitment to children and families facing sickle cell disease, Aflac, the No. 1 provider of supplemental health insurance in the U.S.1, today announced that the company has made a $100,000 contribution to Children's National Hospital to be used for research and treatment of sickle cell. Aflac also welcomed children with sickle cell disease and their families to an exciting day of baseball at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., as the hometown Washington Nationals took on the Philadelphia Phillies.

"At any time, more than 100,000 American families — most of which are African American — are impacted by sickle cell disease, which is an inherited and often stigmatized condition that frequently causes painful episodes and can even cause shortened lifespans," Aflac Senior Vice President of Federal Relations Bradley Knox said. "Aflac's contribution will help Children's National Hospital conduct groundbreaking research that we hope will someday lead to a universal cure for this terrible disease, with which 1 out of 365 African Americans are born. We are pleased to provide a day at the ballpark to celebrate the children, families and caregivers who manage the impact of sickle cell disease every day."

"We are honored for Aflac's partnership to ensure Children's National can provide expert care and groundbreaking research to support children and their families who are battling sickle cell disease across the greater Washington, DC metro region," said Julie Butler, Vice President of Children's National Hospital Foundation. "Their generous gift to our research program will help us develop and implement treatments that are both innovative and family focused. We are grateful for Aflac's support financially, and for creating wonderful memories for our families such as the Nationals game on World Sickle Cell Day!"

Children attending the ballgame also received their very own My Special Aflac Duck®, a robotic duck that has helped nearly 16,000 children cope with their cancer or sickle cell diagnosis and treatments. My Special Aflac Ducks are provided to children free of charge. Children and caregivers use the ducks for medical play to help kids better understand their treatments and communicate their feelings, which is sometimes difficult for children.

The My Special Aflac Duck program was created in 2018 for children with cancer. After 18 months of research involving patients, families and caregivers, Aflac expanded the program by developing accessories specifically designed to address challenges associated with sickle cell.

"Families facing sickle cell disease often feel forgotten, as funding for and awareness about the disease are far less than similar inherited conditions," Knox said. "Expanding our My Special Aflac Duck program and providing funding for research and treatment enhancements at a prestigious hospital like Children's National is our way of saying, 'you have not been forgotten and we are here by your side.'"

Since 1995, Aflac has donated more than $160 million to the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, which also houses the most prolific sickle cell treatment facility in America.
