BBH launch hair styling range with quartet of Harold Einstein-directed spots

Before you read any further, check your hair. Nice and neat? OK – you may proceed. We’re not the only ones who are particular about our ‘do – the heroes of a new Axe campaign won’t do anything without making sure their barnet is perfect first. In order to launch an updated AXE hair styling range BBH have created a new campaign that brings the brand’s unique promise of attraction to the world of hair styling.

 

The creative idea revolves around the concept ‘First Impressions Count’. It highlights the importance of well styled hair when meeting that special someone for the first time. The work features style-conscious guys taking their time to get their hair just right in unexpected scenarios. Needless to say, the women of their affections are suitably impressed. 

 

David Kolbusz, Deputy Executive Creative Director at BBH London, said: “We wanted to capture a simple truth about guys and their grooming habits. Whenever a man sees a woman he fancies, he tends to touch up his hair before making the initial approach. We dramatised this behaviour by setting it in the most extreme of circumstances.”
