Colgate-Palmolive, a global leader in health and hygiene, today announced the launch of Serving Smiles, a new video-first podcast designed to tackle health misinformation and simplify wellness for Gen Z. Hosted by actor, singer, and content creator Pressley Hosbach and award-winning advocate, actor, and podcaster Madison Tevlin, the series brings expert-backed clarity to a generation overwhelmed by wellness trends and conflicting health advice found on social media.
Inspired by the company’s Make More Smiles brand platform, Serving Smiles meets Gen Z on video platforms, including YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. The show bridges the gap between scientific expertise and daily health routines, proving that a healthier future can be achievable and inclusive.
With 38% of Gen Z trusting social media over medical providers for health advice and health misinformation present in up to 87% of health-related social media posts, the need for a credible, accessible health and wellness resource has never been more pressing. Serving Smiles is built to help solve that, bringing a fresh perspective to an audience craving trustworthy information shared authentically. The goal is simple: no gatekeeping, no fluff, and no confusing jargon.
“Colgate-Palmolive—a health and hygiene leader whose Colgate brand is in more homes than any other—is uniquely positioned to create a platform for these conversations. Through our relationships, we are able to provide expert credibility across oral health, skin health, pet nutrition, home and personal care, and sustainability in ways built for how Gen Z actually consumes content,” said Dana Bolden, Chief Communications Officer, Colgate-Palmolive. “By providing access to experts with actionable, science-backed, confidence-building tips, we are helping Gen Z have plenty of reasons to feel their best and serve smiles.”
For 220 years, Colgate-Palmolive has been driven by its purpose as a caring, innovative growth company that is reimagining a healthier future for all people, their pets, and our planet. Over the span of six episodes, Serving Smiles brings this purpose to life.
What’s the ideal oral health routine? Is the best skin care the most expensive? Am I ready to adopt a pet, and what should I know? Hosbach and Tevlin will address these questions and more through conversations with experts who will give listeners answers they can trust. By approaching these topics in an authentic way, Colgate-Palmolive is meeting Gen Z audiences where they are.
“I’m so excited to partner with Colgate-Palmolive—its purpose and ‘Make More Smiles’ platform really resonate with me. It’s all about confidence, positivity, and building healthy habits in a way that actually feels fun!” — Pressley Hosbach, Co-Host, Serving Smiles
“This podcast is important because it focuses on simple, everyday ways to take better care of yourself. It’s all about spreading positivity and helping people feel good about themselves. I’m really excited to partner with Colgate-Palmolive on Serving Smiles. I love the company’s commitment to reimagine a healthier future for everyone and ‘Make More Smiles.’” — Madison Tevlin, Co-Host, Serving Smiles
