New Gillette UK campaign hits an identity crisis
Shaving is a tedious and, if you use Gillette products, expensive business.
The P&G-owned brand is under pressure from cheaper online alternatives so it’s decided to modernise its “the best a man get get” pitch in a new campaign from Grey UK. So it’s no longer a macho hunk shaving but men who “take a good look inside, they let it out, hug it out.”
How can you hug something out? And what’s that got to do with shaving? Complete balls.
MAA creative scale: 2.
Mind you it’s not quite as bad as this from the US a few years back.
Runs it close though.
