You may need some deodorant

Have you been paying attention to this new generation of brand advertising?

If your personal or business brand is smelling a bit funky, this insight will help:

You've probably noticed how some brands seem to just 'get it' – they evolve, they stay fresh, and they seem to be completely in sync with their market.

Old Spice is one of those brands, and their story has a powerful lesson for you.

They were once the scent of a generation, but as time ticked on, so did their audience... right into retirement.

They needed a lifeline, a way to become relevant to Gen X and Millenials without losing their 'spice'.

The ‘Old Spice Guy’

They did something brave. They reimagined their brand to connect with a new generation without alienating the old.

They found a new voice that resonates with humor and confidence, and they weren't afraid to shake things up.

It wasn't just about slapping on a new label or launching a new scent. No, Old Spice shook the very foundations of their brand strategy.

They went from "experienced" to "exhilarating," from "comfortable" to "cutting-edge."

How?

  • Step 1: They identified their new target audience – younger, vibrant, and looking for something that spoke to their identity.

  • Step 2: They crafted a message that resonated with humor, virility, and a dash of irreverence.

  • Step 3: They rolled out ads that broke the mold. Remember the "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like" campaign? It was bold, it was different, and it went viral.

I see so many businesses that are just a couple of strategic moves away from really connecting with their audience on a deeper level.

Maybe you've felt it too – that sense that there's untapped potential in how your brand communicates and engages.

I believe you could create a similar ripple in your space.

How? By crafting a brand strategy that's as dynamic and bold as you are.
