BARBASOL
With new technology taking over the men's grooming category Barbasol was at a crossroads - change with the times, or embrace its history as "the brand your grandfather used."
We chose to leverage nostalgia in this "Shave Like a Man" campaign. We launched with three “Disappointed Forefather's” TV commercials, along with 9 radio commercials, a re-skinned website and facebook page and it’s own @shavelikeaman twitter page.
The campaign did not disappoint! It leapfrogged the brand ahead of it's competitors resulting in increased awareness and record sales. The $3.7 million campaign helped to solidify partnerships with Major League Baseball, Professional Golf Association, Pro Bowlers Association and Universal Studios' Jurassic World.
