AXE: Body Spray
2023 BC Sprint Winner
STUDENT WORKThe Martin Agency asked us to get Gen Z men excited to go buy AXE in stores.
In the past AXE has pitched attraction as the best source of confidence. But, attraction certainly isn’t reliable for the pockmarked mid-puberty men who make up their core audience. We found a better source, and our strategy — Realign Gen Z men with the strongest source of confidence: their friends.
