Two brands operating in this realm are among the few to leverage swine flu in their communications: Dabur Chyawanprash, a leading Indian health supplement, and Brooke Bond Red Label Natural Care, a popular tea brand from Unilever.

Their communication doesn’t need to persuade consumers or change their beliefs, it needs only to influence and aid recall.
