English Synopsis
The tone of AXE brand doesn’t lend itself to an environmental message. And 19-year-old guys who use AXE think more about getting girls than about being environmentally friendly. So, on earth day, how could AXE Body wash deliver an environmental message that actually appeals to the guys who use it?
Introducing Axe Showerpooling. A Facebook–based idea that asked guys to save water by inviting girls to share their shower with them. It was a green initiative that AXE guys would actually be interested in and one that didn’t seem such “hard work”. AXE Showerpooling. It wasn’t just environmentally friendly, it was all kinds of friendly.
