Colgate-Palmolive Launches Serving Smiles, a New Podcast Delivering Health Conversations Gen Z Actually Want to Have

Join a confident, curious host duo paired with trusted experts for a high-energy, joyful new take on holistic health, with the first episode available on YouTube and all major podcast platforms, as well as ColgatePalmolive.com, beginning today.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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 that can be 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 with 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 that’s 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 & 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 resonates 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
