Brief Explanation

As the men’s hair-coloring market is dominated by large companies, the late-comer Fresh Light was faced with the challenge to gain a unique position with this first TVC at once. So we featured hoodlums/outlaws, who have been its core users but ignored by marketers. We positioned Fresh Light as an item to give them ‘color’ and ‘power,’ featuring two outlaw groups (‘hard outlaw’ gang and ‘soft outlaw’ gang) with bright-colored hair, fighting at a dance battle.
