Creative Brief: Old Spice – The Man Your Man Could Smell Like

Target Audience

Based on demographic and qualitative research, the most insightful characteristics of our target
audience are as follows:
 They are active young men ages 18-35.
 They take pride and the attributes and activities that distinguish them as men.
 They care about looks and personal hygiene.
 They perceive body wash and certain scented toiletries to be too feminine.
 They enjoy viral internet videos and over the top humor.
 They identify with and admire “men’s men” like James Bond, Clint Eastwood and Steve
McQueen.

The most important or unique rational benefits and emotional attributes of our client’s product are:
 Provides long lasting odor protection without making you smell feminine.
 Old Spice Brand is male-centric and provides a sense of inclusion.

Competitors

Competitor’s ads focus largely on “streak free” deodorant and long lasting odor protection. Competitor’s
ads are largely informational with little emotional appeal. Toiletries are products that men traditionally
do not rally around or express much personal affiliation to so ads have typically tried to attract
customers by featuring practical benefits rather than trying to build up brands with creative emotionally
appealing advertising.

Excecutional Considerations

 The message tone should be strong and assertive but humorous.


 The product should be portrayed as something that is associated with manliness.
 The product should be portrayed as a necessity for all men.
 The brand personality should be friendly and manly.

Creative Strategy

 Create a distinct association between the product and manliness.


 The audience should be addressed directly by a spokesman who will entice users to be like him.
 The message should entice the audience to desire the attributes embodied by the spokesman.
 Highlight the importance of smelling good and being clean in a way that is humorous and
enticing.
 The ads should create a feeling of inclusion for users of the product, a feeling which will entice
new customers.
