Axe takes to short-form bits to celebrate Gold heroes

Axe has rolled out a campaign for its Gold body spray that has been conceptualised by 72andSunny Amsterdam. The campaign will be released globally in March according to a statement from the agency. 

 

Using short media formats, the films target Axe's youth male audience. They look to push home the message that when one smells fresh all day, he can be at his most confident self and be 'Gold' even during awkward situations. 

 

Rik Strubel, global vice president, Axe said, “Today's generation doesn't know what body spray can do - last time we spoke about its benefits ‘stay fresh, smell great’ was before most of them were even born. But for guys of all generations, confidence matters. How you feel and smell plays a big part in how you act, especially when things get tense.” 

 

Laura Visco and Adam Koppel, creative directors, 72andSunny Amsterdam, said, "'You’re Gold’ is a way of looking at life. It’s about empowering young boys to feel confident, encouraging them to face adversity with attitude”. “Every guy has that social moment that has disaster written all over it. We want guys to know they have what they need to not just get past those moments, but succeed."
