BIC, Charlie Puth team up for back-to school campaign
BIC is teaming up with Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum singer, songwriter and producer Charlie Puth this back-to-school season to amplify the brand's 4-Color Ballpoint Pen campaign "A pen for every side of you."
The campaign empowers students and teachers to unleash their creativity by relating each color of BIC's 4-Color Ballpoint Pen to various forms of self-expression.
The iconic BIC 4-Color Ballpoint Pen offers four colors – black, red, green and blue - in one pen. Ideal for capturing self-expressive thoughts, doodling imaginative creations, color-coding school notes and more, the 4-Color Pen helps unleash creativity and passion through writing.
"Equipping students and teachers with tools that spark curiosity, creativity and help them envision a brighter future is just one part of BIC's global commitment to education," said BIC CEO Gonzalve Bich. "We're thrilled to partner with Charlie Puth to encourage students to express themselves through writing and music this back-to-school season."

"The BIC 4-Color Pen is my go-to for songwriting because I can click through ink colors to match the vibes of each lyric or line, or even how I may be feeling that day," said Puth. "Since self-expression is so meaningful to me and my craft, I love partnering with BIC to encourage students to explore the beauty of creativity through writing, music and art – no matter their interests."
BIC and Charlie Puth are hosting a back-to-school consumer sweepstakes for four consumers to win a special behind-the-scenes experience and private iHeartMedia concert with Charlie Puth on Oct. 22, 2024 in New York City.
