Figure 1: Smell Like a Man, Man
The brand Old Spice was established in the year 1938, it’s a brand that had predominantly been associated with elderly gentlemen, but in 2008 this all changed. Today Old Spice is one of the most recognisable deodorant and body wash brands on the planet (O’ Neil, 2010). In 2008 Old Spice partnered up with advertising agency Wieden + Kennedy and created a series of successful marketing campaigns including ‘The Man Your Man Could Smell Like’. The campaign was a huge success, revamping the brand identity through effective ‘Integrated Marketing Communications’ (IMC). By the end of the campaign Old Spice easily accomplished their goal of increasing sales and re-positioning its brand identity, inspiring a whole new demographic of Old Spice users (Watson, 2010).
