“Next Generation” campaign

Gillette has been synonymous with masculinity for over a century, driving men's grooming and self-image all together. But in recent years, GenZ men and their definitions of masculinity have evolved faster than we have.

We’ve all seen father teaching son… hell Gillette owned that moment in their shaving ads forever, but this GenZ generation is not only finding their own way in life, but leading the way for others.

We’ve set the tone for the brand for the foreseeable future where we plan to flip the convention (in some way that Gillette as a brand has even created). And plan to illustrate all the ways GenZ inspires every generation to think differently about grooming. Welcome to the Next Generation of Grooming with Gillette.

“face time”

It’s a tale as old as time, father teaches son how to shave. Gillette created the heartwarming ads and culture that comes with shaving…But this new sh*t they’ve been cooking up, is next gen AF. So we’re flipping the convention on this script where son now teaches father a thing or two about shaving with the GilletteLabs razor with Exfoliating Bar.

We launched our new campaign with this GilletteLabs spot.

Enter Joe and Frank Mele. Tiktok’s famous father & son duo. Who better to deliver this message than Joe Mele who is known for teaching his dad everything happening in this generation, like the next generation is shaving by GilletteLabs.

“latino dad tries gillettelabs”

This is a BIG deal for Gillette. Backed by strong data and insights we created the first US Hispanic specific ad in Gillette history. No more dubbing over english speaking spots. And to do it we tapped @thesalguerofam to tell the authentic story of Diana convincing her papa, who thinks his old razor works just fine, to try GilletteLabs for the first time.
