The Campaign

We built a space to introduce and spread wet shaving in the office district. In the motif of a shaved ice stand, ice-cold shaving using ice water defied the convention and draw attention.

Creative Execution

We set a stylish stand to distribute glasses with ice water and shavers, and encourage trial in a shaving space. This event was held for 3 days from August 7 to 9 in the major office district in Tokyo.

Shaving became news hook and Schick, the number-one brand, draw attention. This event was featured by a wide variety of media including TV, newspaper and digital. It also altered their consciousness toward shaving, brought a surprise and novelty.

This work offers ice-cold shaving using ice water. We organized an experience-based product sampling by using a photogenic stand and drink cups.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Target audience: Males, mainly those aged from 20s to 40s. Approach: Experiential PR event in the office district and product sampling. Call-to-action: Generate interest and promote trial by proposing a new shaving style.
