AXE

Sweeter Than The Sweetest

The sweetest things on earth driven mad with jealously because of Axe’s new fragrances.

The Challenge

Axe was once the youth brand. But as culture moved on, the brand became tied to outdated codes. In trying to change, Axe lost the humor that made it famous and the business paid for it. Now we had the challenge of reconnecting with a Generation that doesn't care a lot about what brands have to say.

The Crazy Ambition

To make absurd humor the new language of attraction.

The Idea

Sweeter than the Sweetest turned a simple product benefit, sweeter premium fragrances, into an absurd attraction story only Axe could tell. If the new Axe smells sweeter than anything on earth, even babies, dogs and teddy bears would be consumed by jealousy.
