(01)Project Overview

The Project

Old Spice wanted to refresh their iconic Old Spice Man campaign while acknowledging that times have changed. We built an integrated campaign across guerrilla, OOH, digital, and packaging around one question: what does the perfect man look like today?

The Challenge

Refresh a legendary brand character without losing the equity it carries — and answer a culturally loaded question (what makes a man perfect?) in a way that feels modern, not preachy.

The Insight

The perfect man was never one person. By making the iconic Old Spice Man go missing, we created intrigue, then revealed that the real perfect men are the everyday men in our lives.
