As the first step in building long term consumer engagement, Philips Male Grooming has launched a through the line campaign to inspire and enable men to ‘Express Yourself Every Day’. The campaign by DDB London, Tribal, One Voice, Carat, IRIS and Philips aims to help male consumers (25+ years old) realize that self-expression can be something they do every day—from the way they walk, to the job they do, to the way they shave and groom. Real guys that change mundane aspects of their daily routine into an opportunity for self-expression are at the heart of the emotionally-led campaign, which is set to break the conventions of the traditionally conservative and predictable male grooming category that has sold men on the clean shaven look for the past 30 years.

It was not an easy year for Old Spice Man, as he fought with Fabio in summer to reclaim the crown and flew to distant exotic places to promote the new scents, but it doesn’t mean that he is worn out and hasn’t got anything special for his dear fans this Christmas season.

Watch the earlier videos of the campaign and you’ll change your mind—this man can do everything. Really.
Old Spice believes that having a deodorant with a great smell is not enough to start using it—sometimes, it simply gets lost in a bathroom or a suitcase or its packaging is so slippery that you just can’t grab it. So, the brand is launching a new accessory, the Bear Deodorant Protector, which will help men always have their Old Spice ready to hand—starting today, November 23, the new offering is available for just $19.99. The new item looks so meaningless, that it seems to be just a joke. But no, “this product is real and is available for purchase” from Facebook, says the promotional video, which plays up the retro vibe. And when you don’t use your antiperspirant in the new case, you can just look at the bear “as long as you want until you need more deodorant.”
