If you’re into it and they’re into it, AXE is into it. Watch the new creative below:



“We know guys everywhere can relate to the desire to put their best foot forward in the dating game,” said Mark Lodwick, AXE Brand Director. “The New Effect shows the evolution of our past creative and gives our guys the opportunity to smell good and feel confident so they’re ready for all possibilities of attraction.”

How AXE Will Attract New Consumers

All elements – from casting to music selection and graphics – were inspired to resonate with this generation of men who are notoriously open minded when it comes to attraction. 

Along with “The Walk,” the 360-degree campaign will roll out a slew of new content, packaging graphics and cutting-edge product technology.

AXE has also partnered with award-winning graffiti artist Ben Tallon to update all AXE packaging. Tallon’s unique street style and keen understanding of culture made him the perfect choice to manifest the brand’s personality via bold graffiti artwork designs that complements AXE iconic scents.

To emphasize that smelling good with AXE iconic fragrances leads to feeling good, the brand is innovating their body spray, antiperspirant, deodorant and body wash lines. AXE’s proprietary Dual Action technology works simultaneously to bust odor and boost irresistible fragrance.
