Charmin Van-GO
We live in a world where we can get almost anything on-demand.
We live in a world where we can get almost anything on-demand. Anything except the one thing we need wherever we go — a clean, comfortable bathroom. To address this common concern, we saw an opportunity to take Charmin’s brand promise of “Enjoy the go” and bring it to life in a never before seen way.
Introducing, Charmin Van-GO — the first-ever, on-demand private mobile bathroom. With just the click of a button within our custom Van-GO mobile app, we delivered clean, private bathrooms to people where they needed them most — New York City.

The response was monumental. Not only did we achieve our goals for the brand, we surpassed them beyond what Charmin had ever experienced previously:
- 9% lift in earned media coverage compared to similar previous efforts, including 51 original stories via The Today Show, Drudge Report, People, Yahoo! and many more
- 73% higher Public Relations recall than historical brand benchmarks
- 8% more efficient media metrics than historical brand benchmarks, leading to increased impressions and campaign reach
- 3,000% increase in social impressions versus previous efforts, and Charmin shattered any competitive share of voice online
Van-GO proved to be best performing social campaign in the history of the brand. All of that made for a go that the brand – and consumers – found very enjoyable
