From rooftop raves to poolside "partays," the summer nightlife scene is heating up. But who's in and who's not? Now a unique on-air vignette series from new premium hair care brand, CLEAR SCALP & HAIR THERAPY™, produced by NBCUniversal's Integrated Media and Creative Partnerships & Innovations groups in association with Mindshare Entertainment, reveals what it takes to get behind the velvet rope and into the inner sanctum so you can have your best night ever. It turns out the secret is strong, beautiful hair and the confidence it gives you.

BEST NIGHT EVER is the story of Logan and Chloe, a hot guy and girl who confidently gain access behind the velvet rope at an exclusive nightlife hotspot called "Clear." Once inside, they interact with some of NBCUniversal's hottest celebrities and eventually work their way into the club's most exclusive inner sanctum, "The Source." The campaign will run across NBC, Bravo, E!, Oxygen, Style, NBC.com, Bravotv.com, Eonline.com, Oxygen.com, MyStyle.com, and DailyCandy.
The action begins during sweeps week on May 14th with a 15 second prime time teaser designed to spark interest and excitement, and will run during the premiere of NBC's "America's Got Talent." The mini-series breaks one week later on May 21st during "Bethenny Ever After" on Bravo and drives fans online for a chance to create their very own customized storyline. Once online, consumers will discover that Logan's and Chloe's fate is in their hands, thanks to cutting-edge InterludeTechnology that allows them to decide "what happens next" at every step of each character's journey, including whether Logan and Chloe finally gain access to The Source.
"Ultimately, as our characters and celebrities prove, the secret to having your best night ever is not befriending the bouncer or getting to know the bartender, it's about the confidence that great hair brings," notes David Rubin, U.S. Haircare Marketing Director for Unilever. "New CLEAR SCALP & HAIR THERAPY™ nourishing shampoos and conditioners offer a unique approach to hair care that starts with scalp nourishment and creates the right foundation for strong, beautiful hair for women and dandruff-free hair for men so you'll get great hair for the confidence you need to have your 'Best Night Ever.'"
