A Zippo lighter is considered by many owners to be a precious and sentimental personal belonging, and it is little wonder so many feel devastated if they lose one.“We’re always trying to be innovative in what we do with our marketing and digital experiences and through this campaign we hope it really connects with consumers all around the world,” he added.The #ShareThePain campaign will be activated in nine markets including UK, USA, Germany, France, India, Hong Kong, China, Japan and Korea, where McFlame will be multilingual and responding to consumers in all of these languages.
