STRATEGIST
Axe Body Spray is always ready to help a guy feel confident about himself and attract possibilities. But life can get in the way of a guy's self-confidence. Finding a way to give yourself a boost from outside sources can be unreliable. What if there was an always-available hype man you could count on?
What if Axe could be that hype man?
The Problem
The Solution
Introducing the Hype Can! We transformed the can of AXE into an interactive moment to spread a boost of confidence whenever you need it. Once you pull on the tab to unwrap the limited edition double-wrapped AXE spray can, underneath is a variety of AXEpirations to give guys a hit of hype and help them overcome those moments of self-doubt.
