Old Spice“The Man Your Man Can Smell Like”Austin Frantz – Jason Liddell – Benjamin Patterson
Purpose Viral campaign launched to market Old Spice's Red Zone
After Hours Body Wash
Other Old Spice products were the focus for additional advertisements after the success of the initial campaign
ObjectivesCampaign Mission
Old Spice revolved their campaign around Isaiah Mustafa, or “Old Spice Man”, to garner consumers’ attention and deliver brand recognition
The various commercial spots also informed viewers about the benefits of using Old Spice products, albeit in jest
Although males are the product’s targeted demographic, females were a central focus for the campaign as they are more apt to making household hygiene purchases
Tactics The campaign, starring ‘The Most Interesting Man in the World 2.0’ Isaiah
Mustafa, launched in February 2010 and centered around the theme “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like.”
The first 30-second commercial features Mustafa on a horse speaking rapidly to viewers about the endless possibilities men can achieve by using Old Spice, concluding with “I’m on a horse.” A 15-second spot reveals that Mustafa is actually riding the horse backwards.
The next series of commercials followed a single-shot format like the first, expect Mustafa transitions from the beach to other locations. Female viewers are asked rhetorical question that imply if their men use Old Spice they can bring them whatever they want.
An additional commercial set that aired in early 2011 kept a similar theme as the first two series. However, other scents in the product line were advertised in these clips.
