Cause-Related Marketing: Spritzer x TudungPeople
I’ve always liked the idea of supporting brands that take a stand in their principles.
Especially when they incorporate them in campaigns and collaborations.
Supporting them made me feel like I made a difference. I am part of the change that I’ve been wanting.
And what makes it all the more inspiring is when brands that seemingly have no direct connection with one another, get together for a common purpose and collaborate 🫱🏼🫲🏽
I was roaming the malls to find a new scarf one day and I came across TudungPeople in Malaysia.
What drew me into their store the most was their latest collaboration with Spritzer!
Immediately I thought, who would’ve thought it possible that the brand that quenches our thirst could collaborate with a hijab brand for a shared objective 😆

This very uncommon pairing is what made people all the more interested in their campaign 📌
Not only did they challenge the stereotypes of collaborations, they managed to inspire change amongst the community as well.
Let’s peel the layers of this collaboration and see why it’s a stroke of genius.
Beyond Boundaries: Bridging the gap 🌉
The first layer of any collaboration is how the campaign is presented to the public, and in the case of Spritzer and TudungPeople, their approach has been nothing short of exceptional.
But how does a bottled water brand and a hijab brand gel? They don’t sell the same thing 🤔
The very fact that these two very different brands collaborated is what attracted people the most.
Spritzer and TudungPeople in Malaysia have masterfully crafted a campaign that defies normal expectations of collaborations.
Despite their differences, they were able to bridge the gap between their industries and open doors for more outside-the-box collaborations.
This leads us to the next layer of Cause-Related Marketing that led to innovation and creation.
Unleashing Innovative Creation 🎆
Spritzer’s expertise in the beverage industry harmoniously blended with TudungPeople’s innovative approach to sustainable fashion 💯
This resulted in a powerful synergy that captivates audiences and breaks down traditional boundaries.
Spritzer turned their recycled plastic bottles into threads for TudungPeople to craft into beautiful creations – hijabs, scrunchies, pouches and many more.

Their collaboration serves as a shining example of how two seemingly different industries can converge to create something truly extraordinary.
And this is all thanks to their innovative and creative thinking skills, bringing them to higher heights 📈
At the CORE of it all ❤️
We all know Spritzer to be among the top bottled water brands in Malaysia 👍🏼
Despite being two very different brands, at the core of it all is what TudungPeople in Malaysia and Spritzer have in common – Community Empowerment through Sustainable Lifestyle.
That’s what made this campaign a success.
The core message that brought TudungPeople and Spritzer together was to encourage the community to support sustainable living.
Spending for this limited edition scarf has never been easier for me because I knew that it’d be a show of support to sustainable and environmentally-friendly products.
This collaboration has PURPOSE and I am contributing to it 💪🏼
At the end of the day, their collaboration through Cause-Related Marketing further enforced the movement towards sustainable fashion and in accordance with the United Nations 17 Goals of Sustainable Development.
