  • KCC E&C's apartment brand Switzen's new advertisement 'Great Housework' has surpassed 30 million YouTube views in 20 days.
  • The campaign shifts focus from luxury spaces to the value of daily household chores and care, resonating with consumers.
  • The ad highlights the emotional weight and value of often-overlooked domestic labor, fostering empathy.

KCC E&C's apartment brand, Switzen, has achieved a significant milestone with its new advertisement, 'Great Housework,' surpassing 30 million cumulative views on YouTube just 20 days after its release. The video, first shared on the official YouTube channel on August 4, has garnered remarkable attention for its unconventional approach.

This advertisement stands out by breaking away from the typical focus on luxurious living spaces often seen in real estate marketing. Instead, 'Great Housework' thoughtfully acknowledges the significance and emotional value of everyday domestic labor and caregiving, which are often repetitive and overlooked. This shift in perspective has created a deep emotional connection with consumers, resonating with their daily lives.

The campaign gently illuminates the routine household tasks, cooking, tidying up, taking out the trash, and seasonal wardrobe changes, highlighting the care and time invested in these ordinary activities. It aims to convey the intrinsic meaning of 'home' as a space built not just from structures but from the accumulated efforts, care, and consideration of family members. The title 'Great Housework' subtly suggests that invisible domestic labor is the primary force sustaining family life.

Following the ad's release, online comments and YouTube discussions have shown widespread agreement. Viewers have expressed sentiments such as, "It makes me reconsider the efforts I took for granted" and "I've newly realized the value of repetitive housework." A KCC E&C representative shared, "We wanted to talk about the countless hours and efforts behind the daily lives we naturally enjoy. We hope this advertisement serves as an opportunity for people to reflect on their own families and daily lives and share feelings of gratitude."
