Projekttitel THE AXE EFFECT AXE gives guys the edge in the mating game

INSIGHT & BRAND PROMISE AXE Insight - true all over the globe “The mating game is a major obsession for young men. Feeling, looking and smelling good are essential to success.” Simple historical brand promise - universal need AXE makes young men smell good… which… Increases their confidence… which… Increases their chances

Axe is sexual confidence and implied magic Axe is definitely on the guy’s side (not neutral/girl-siding) It talks to primal masculine drives The fascination with girls The desire to charm them, to win them over The battle to see off the competition But Axe deals in these things in a fun, original and playful way We’re having a laugh … not reflecting reality Tone of communication: Funny, cool, sexy but not crossing the border of flirty teasing tone - INFORMAL Originality Playful fantasy THE AXE VALUES AND PERSONALITY

Axe doesn’t transform a loser into a winner It enhances their natural pulling power by making them feel, look and smell great Axe helps young guys play at the top of their game THE AXE EFFECT

AXE RULES The AXE colour is: BLACK Porn is a don’t –The AXE brand and comms are more about wit than tits –At its best AXE builds a world of playful fantasy – not low budget porn Sport is a don’t Everything we do... HAS TO BE COOL! –Being cool is the hardest thing a brand can do –But it’s critical that AXE feels cool and desirable or guys won’t want to buy us –This means thinking about everything we do instore, on the web, on the can, in comms to make sure it looks and feel cool

Projekttitel AXE TARGET GROUP

TARGET GROUP Black –Primal Style Seekers/ y.o. men fairly cool but still limited on experience of women. –Chasing girls, being chased by girls getting girls is a way of defining themselves as individuals and men. Colored –Experimental benefit seeker/ y.o. men with higher educational background, fairly cool but still some experience in the mating game. –Grooming products can transform how he is perceived and feels, communication for him must be targeted, fun and engaging.

TARGET GROUP Skin contact –Advanced Groomers –starts to understand that taking care of his body skin (via caring shower gels or body lotion) is not a bad idea but he might not have translated care into his daily or regular grooming routine –some might use creamy or moisturising shower gels already (i.e. they need to use a unisex/female variant to get the benefit) –some might use body moisturiser already but they are not the ones with medical skin issues – they might still use Axe shower gel, some might have left the brand already, because it is not mature enough and not delivering any advanced benefits for their skin

Projekttitel XMAS PACK DESIGN

Design MUST HAVES Visibility is critical: we use windows in all pack - The more you see from the product the better it is! We are aiming to develop an outstanding design with high shelf impact - Be in-line with 2011 over all communication We will focus on good branding - Try to communicate the gift item on the FOP Consistency in the range is a key but variety in execution is added as a learning

Challenges of design Ensure differentiation within each sub range (i.e. between Black, Coloured ranges) while communicating equitable value perception Communicate via packaging value differences between each range (i.e. Core, Premium, Gift) Packaging should capture the values, personality and essence of the Axe brand DNA Create a "wow" impact with shoppers, bringing clear brand differentiation and distinctiveness on shelf, thus facilitating a price premium on gift packs Create a “cool” impact with guys that receive the gift pack, making them want to stick with Axe
