The collections are spiced in just a way to give off the air of business, but not as usual At the same time, as the advertising campaign makes clear, the scents are not meant to project that their wearers are wallflowers, but rather, that they are men who want to be viewed as manly, seductive and maybe a little intimidating Representing the dangerous side of masculinity and inspired by the personality attributes, eating habits and mating rituals of wild animals, the Old Spice Wild collection is a sophisticated line-up of man smells that helps guys answer the smell of the wild.

Advertising created by Wieden + Kennedy Introduced during the third quarter of the Super Bowl Advertised through TV, print, and online ads, as well as interactive advertising via social media The advertisements are focused specifically on the Wild Collection product line, however they show an umbrella effect that results in increased sales in all products.Wild Collection Promo 29. Foxcrest: For cunning gentlemen Wolfthorn: Alpha dog marketing style Hawkridge: Women gaze approvingly at the Hawkridge user, but the primary message is not that his scent attracts women, like Axe ads, but that it vanquishes other men. Intimidation is at the heart of a commercial for another scent in the line, Hawkridge. The other things that are important besides girls are money and winning. the poker-game commercial might be especially appealing to men who started using Old Spice as adolescents and were at risk of abandoning it for what they perceived as more sophisticated products.
