Be #ToughAsATiger Tiger Balm roars for change with a powerful International Tiger’s Day Campaign

A trusted pain relief brand for 100 years, Tiger Balm is making stripes with their eye-catching Tiger’s Day campaign.

The campaign titled as #EyeOfTheTiger transcends pain relief, aiming to ignite global awareness about the plight of tigers and inspire action for their preservation. This powerful message is delivered through a captivating infinite zoom animation effect, created solely with masks and original, hand-made illustrations by BC Web Wise.

The #EyeOfTheTiger launched with a single, arresting image: a close-up of a tiger’s eye. But within its depths lies not the expected fiery spirit, but a horrifying reflection – the reality of a tiger’s life seen through the eye of the tiger. This stark image instantly grabs attention and invites viewers to zoom into the destruction that tigers face.


The campaign doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities. Through a video experience, the tiger’s eye becomes a window into their world that started out beautiful but is now on the brink of devastation brought by human actions. It confronts viewers with the devastating reality facing tigers through a powerful visual metaphor and song, inviting audiences to look a bit closer and deeper into the real life of tigers not just in our country, but worldwide.

The brand believes that while we have seen an increase in the population of tigers in recent years, we also must acknowledge the very real threats that continue to plague tiger’s lives like climate change, deforestation, and illegal trading, all of which continues to take place still.

Puneet Motiani, Designated Partner, Gardenia Cosmotrade LLP (the exclusive distributors for Tiger Balm in India) says, “Tiger Balm has always been a symbol of strength, helping people overcome physical challenges. Now, we’re extending that strength to support the fight for tiger conservation. Their resilience inspires us all. Through #EyeOfTheTiger, we hope to ignite a wave of support. Together, we can ensure these magnificent creatures continue to roam free for generations to come.”

Brand & Marketing Expert and Advisor to the Gardenia board, Pankaj Bhawnani added, “This campaign isn’t just about raising awareness, it’s about igniting a passion for protecting tigers. We want people to see the world through a tiger’s eye and feel compelled to take action.”

Speaking about the Campaign, Sonali Banerji, Creative Director : “ We wanted to do something that was eye-catching yet impactful. As the name of the campaign suggests #EyeOfTheTiger we showcased what the eye of the tiger sees and how we wanted to establish Tiger Balm as a brand that stands strongly for the cause of tigers and get people to reflect with a video that is engaging. We used generative AI and created a song that truly resonates with the day and got our audience a masterpiece and feel what the Tiger sees.”
