CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Celebrating 80 years as the manliest grooming brand on the planet, Old Spice gets down to beardness with the launch of its NEW Old Spice Beard Care Collection. Available exclusively on Amazon, the brand’s first-ever beard lineup features all of the essentials including Beard Oil, Beard Balm, Beard Conditioner and Beard Wash to help guys easily achieve the nourished, soft and sculpted beard of their dreams.
“Beards: they’re not just for lumberjacks, pirates, and 19th century psychiatrists any more! Nearly a third of American men1 are now sporting facial hair, and Old Spice is a legendary brand for helping guys navigate the seas of masculinity,” said John Brownlee, Old Spice Brand Director at Procter & Gamble. “As the No. 1 selling anti-perspirant/deodorant and body wash brand for guys of all ages, Old Spice can now help with serious beardness.”
To help guys stay out of “stubble,” Old Spice has teamed up with NFL’s bearded brothers, Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, to star in the brand’s advertising campaign titled “The Old Spice Guys’ Grooming Guidance Guide for Guys with Beards,” debuting today across the brand’s social media channels. Developed by advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy (Portland), the ad series highlights each product and applies the over-the-top Old Spice humor that fans have come to expect and love:
“The Old Spice Guys’ Grooming Guidance Guide for Guys with Beards” digital spots featuring Jason and Travis Kelce:
- Lecture (:15) - When Jason Kelce isn’t playing football for the Philadelphia Eagles, he’s almost always doing something else. In this case, it’s ensuring guys have the right products to tame their beards with the new Old Spice Beard Collection.
- Baby Man (:15) - When it comes to football playing, beard grooming with Old Spice Beard Collection, autograph signing, baby interacting, nodding, and sound making, Travis Kelce always makes a touchdown.
“The Old Spice Guys’ Grooming Guidance Guide for Guys with Beards” digital spots:
- Beard Ball (:15) - At the end of every fake baseball game, it doesn’t matter whether your made-up team won or lost, which imaginary player got the most simulated home runs, or who caught the pretend game-winning catch. The only thing that matters is that this is an ad for real Old Spice Beard Oil.
- Long Story Short (:15) - The lessons you learn in books are a lot different than the lessons you learn from Old Spice Beard Balm videos, at least that’s what we’re trying to get at in this video about Old Spice Beard Balm.
- Manly Memo (:30) - With the Old Spice Beard Collection, you’ll notice how Old Spice beard products made it easy for one man to work his way up the corporate ladder through beard transformation and with zero ladders.
- Nice and Tidy (:22) - It’s hard to find a good barber when you wake up on a desolate beach, buried up to your neck in sand during high tide with no sign of human life for miles. So, when you meet a crab with a knack for grooming and an eye for style, you know the search for the Old Spice Beard Wash is over.
In true Old Spice spokesperson fashion, Jason and Travis didn’t stop with just the TVC Spots. The brothers put their philosophical beards to work and helped Old Spice pen a beard poem book titled “The Old Spice Guys’ Grooming Guidance Guide for Guys with Beards & Other Poems” that helps men contemplate what it means to have a magnificently soft and nourished beard using the NEW Old Spice Beard Collection, available for download on Amazon. With every book purchase, Old Spice will donate all proceeds to charity organizations committed to improving men’s health.
