A new Ad for AXE (Lynx, in foreign markets), positioned as all the other AXE commercial, a communication strategy proved to be successfull for the last 10 years
Playing on the viral fad of the end of the world, AXE creates the AXE 2012...cleverly marketing it as "your last AXE": the rest of the ad is exactly what you expect from the brand - lots of beautiful women and a bit of (ironic) sexism
There's nothing more conventional than using sex in advertising to draw the consumer's attention - it always worked, and it always will.
Still, as you're about to discover on this container of unusual sex-themed advertising, it doesn't mean that it can't be more than unconventional with the proper creative effort - especially when the goal is to shock, create buzz and fuel controversy. And, obviously...to sell.
