Evolution of the brand

 It was inspired by The success of Unilever's brands Impulse.  Impulse

 was a fragranced deodorant body spray for women that promised wearers male gaze . Huxers were keen to capitalize on the formula used by

Unilever·s impulse and rolled it out their own product for men in India

 from 2001 onwards, later introducing the other products in the range.

Market situation

The Man has established itself as the leading male

toiletries brand in north india .Contributing to the brand·s success was its innovate character, creating its own

 category, which situated it at the leading edge of fashion

 However, the brand seemed to have aged with its initial consumer and didn·t follow youth fashion trends.

 Research indicates that the ´The Manµ was seen as outdated Amitabh bachan in a safari suit. The communication format was unable to go up the current 

 values of the youth target.

The only potential competition faced by The Man in terms of direct 

 competition are other deodorant brands being produced ² directed towardsthe same target market. These include, Axe,  S  et wet and various other

 generic brands targeting the lower and younger socio-economic market share.

Given the oligopolistic nature of the deodorant market, competitors cannot 

 gain significant market share by dropping prices much lower than our brand.

Rivals history

 Axe/Lynx was launched in France in 1983 by Unilever, a multi-national  corporation, formed of Anglo- D  utch parentage that owns many of the world's consumer product brands in foods, beverages, cleaning agents and 

 personal care products. Unilever were keen to capitalize on Axe's French success and rolled it 

 out in the rest of Europe from 1985 onwards, later introducing the

 other products in the range. Unilever were unable to use the name Axe in the UK and Ireland due to trademark problems so it was launched as Lynx.

Target customer profile

 In order to understand the proposed target market   effectively, particular evaluation needs to be given to the demographic, psychographic and behavioural features evident in

the sample size: The targeted age range should consist of 15-25 years of age The target market is also male, unaffected by race or

 ethnicity ² although different marketing initiatives may appeal to different ethnic groups

Page 21: Ad Basics 09 Vc 131

8/8/2019 Ad Basics 09 Vc 131

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ad-basics-09-vc-131 21/32

Targeted consumer is of a lower socio-economic status given the income

 distribution of the age group and education levels

The status of the proposed candidate is that of a bachelor or most  likely involved in shorter term relationships

The dominant portion of the target consumers exhibit heterosexual  orientation, given the success of previous campaigns portraying the protagonist of this sexual orientation

The following profile can therefore be

established :

 Age: 15-25 

Gender: Male

 Mentality: Mainstream. Perception: Peer influenced 

S  ocio-economic Class: Low

Geography: Anywhere males and females are present  S  exuality: Heterosexual

CREATIVE STRATEGY

The strategy had to build on the brand heritage, while

 rejuvenating The Man· s image to make comtemporary.

Passive seduction was still a real and motivating consumer

  insight. The young want to be seductive without being seen to

try too much. Having women show an inerest gives them the

 confidence to go on.

Page 25: Ad Basics 09 Vc 131

8/8/2019 Ad Basics 09 Vc 131

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ad-basics-09-vc-131 25/32

 However, since all brands talk about seduction, The

Man· had to impose its own point of view in a clever and  motivating way. The execution had to be new and different; it  made a break with conventional publicity. Humour is to used,

 considering seduction as a serious business. The setting and  protagonists used should be relevant and aspirational to the target  audience. This involves moving from the traditional exotic male role model to an environment close to the consumer·s reality.

The creative idea was to show Men proving women that they aretrue men, by wearing the product.

Media plan and action

 Mass communication can be uttilsed through the use of free-to- air television, radio, newspapers and 

 magazines, as well as other methods like cinema and outdoor advertising.

 All its campaigns should revolve round the central theme of making men

 want to be true men by using the product .

Page 27: Ad Basics 09 Vc 131

8/8/2019 Ad Basics 09 Vc 131

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ad-basics-09-vc-131 27/32

 It has, absolutely, subliminal implications. The brand assumesthat Men want to prove themselves as true men.

That feeling gives a big boost of self confidence to a man.

 Although many brands take this proposition, The Man

  just should make it perfect.

D  istribution begins with the Huxers sales forecasting intermediary by determining company production schedules, inventory levels and production.

 Everywhere the product ables to purchase is developed a in- store communication through educating retailer staff to be aware of competitions and promotion campaigns for huxers, as well as

 providing special promotional information about products and  potentially, increase sales.
