The campaign will be primarily on-line and on-campus. Reckitt Benckiser uses gaming technology on mobile and Internet to reach people in nine markets across all continents.

Chairman and managing director Chander Mohan Sethi says, “Reckitt Benckiser’s culture is very different to most organisations. We only suit people who like freedom to act, a fast pace, enough exposure to make their mark and who are deeply commercial and agile. We offer a heart thumping place to work, and that’s not for everyone, but for the 20 per cent who would love us, they need to know who we are.”
The ten markets are Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, India, Italy, Pakistan, Russia, UK and US.
