Media Design Group has announced the placement of a Big Game spot for their client Dr. Squatch, the California based men’s natural soap and personal care company.
Dr. Squatch has had tremendous growth over the past few years, including over $100M in revenue for 2020, over 350% increase in sales year-over-year for the last two years, and over 300M total views on its YouTube channel to date, making it one of the platform’s most viral brands.
The Dr. Squatch team is looking to translate their viral success to linear TV through a Super Bowl commercial negotiated in partnership with Media Design Group.
“Our advertising strategy has and always will be to both entertain and educate men. We want our content to show guys that natural personal care products are the right choice, but in a fun and light-hearted way,” adds Josh Friedman, Chief Marketing Officer. “We’ve seen how this type of communication resonates and are excited to bring Dr. Squatch to the forefront of the biggest traditional advertising event of the year.”
The 30-second spot, created with San Diego-based creative and performance marketing agency Raindrop, is an extension of the brand’s viral collection of entertaining yet educational brand videos. T
The ad encompasses the best moments from the brand’s popular videos, including playful fan-favorite moments like the “you’re not a dish, you’re a man” but upgraded with an even punchier version for the big game.
Still holding true to its viral roots, comedian James Schrader is front and center to help further Dr. Squatch’s mission of entertaining and educating men on the importance of natural care products with an enthusiastic approach.
The tone is reminiscent of Old Spice and Dollar Shave Club. See what you think, when you watch:
