ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Jan. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- AXE®, the No. 1 men's fragrance brand in the world*, is asking people everywhere to fill in the blank, and celebrate what makes them unique. The conversation will hit the world's biggest stage when AXE shares its new point of view on masculinity through the 30-second "Find Your Magic" television commercial during Super Bowl 50.
AXE wants you to #FindYourMagic and share what makes you an individual – to call bullsh*t on the one-size-fits all idea of what a guy should be. The brand believes we all have our own "thing" – something special that makes us attractive to the world, whether it's your walk, your talk, your smile or your style – it's your magic.
The new "Find Your Magic" commercial, created by 72andSunny Amsterdam, brings to life just a few of the ways guys express themselves today. The stance is a rallying cry for guys of all kinds to let go of outdated male clichés and embrace what makes them an individual.
In just the first two weeks since announcing this new direction, #FindYourMagic has already inspired tens of thousands of people around the world to celebrate individuality and champion inclusivity.
"I am encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive response the AXE message has received," said Matthew McCarthy, Senior Director, AXE & Men's Grooming for Unilever. "The Super Bowl is a great place to share this powerful stance on individuality and masculinity, and the scale allows us to bring more men and women into the conversation."
The most attractive man you can be is yourself. So Find Your Magic. Then work on it.
Join the #FindYourMagic conversation and tell us what makes you, you.
