About Cillit Bang
Cillit Bang launched in 2004 with television advertising so aggressive that its fictional presenter became an internet joke in his own right. It is a limescale and grime remover sold across Europe and Australia. The character, Barry Scott, was played by an actor and the campaign was widely parodied, which gave the brand recognition far beyond its advertising budget.
