The Old Spice brand was brought in to this world by the handsome founders of Shulton Inc. way back in 1937, right around the time your grandfather met your grandmother. Theyre married now. Coincidence? We think not. Old Spice was initially only a womens deodorant; the mens deodorant, after tedious performance training and table etiquette lessons, wasnt released until 1938. It wasnt until 1990, that Old Spice was brought under the care of the equally handsome owners of Proctor & Gamble. P&G owns over 50 brands including some of the worlds most recognizable brands such as Gillette, Duracell, and Tide.
Proctor and Gamble Headquarter Locale: Cincinnati, Ohio Founded: 1837 Hub Locations: U.S., Mexico, Brazil, England, Switzerland, Brussels, China, Singapore, South Africa Purpose: To touch consumers lives with brands that make life a little better every day.

Old Spice creative marketing strategies appeal only to those with the most refined of humors and those with the seed of
greatness in them only waiting for Old Spice products to fertilize it. Old Spice uses an off-beat and absurd sense of humor to leave lasting impressions and appeals to the more masculine side of champions, the side that excels at taming sharks and making harps from scratch, rather than pandering to more prepubescent lusts and physical urges.

AXE strategies employ more of a direct sex appeal. Its ads and marketing provide more of a message of how AXE
will make women attracted to you.

Right Guards creative marketing are more down to earth and feature more celebrity endorsements. Its ads are
targeted primarily toward physically active, older, serious men.

In 2012, P&Gs sales from deodorant fell 2%. But, since acquiring Old Spice in 1990, P&Gs market share price has increased 90% and does not appear to be verging on a downward trend. Old Spices successful revival was due to a highly effective repositioning, rebranding, and marketing campaign. We are still in a time period of introduction to this new, re-positioned Old Spice, and its rise in brand value is in large part due to new interest and attention from consumers due to its off-beat ad campaigns. During 2013, I think this trend will continue as Old Spice continues to appeal to it target audience using this marketing technique. But, not too long after this year, I believe there will be a fading of interest and jaded feelings toward the brand as a whole unless a new marketing technique is employed.

Brand Evaluation

12 participants aged 20 41 were asked to give 5 deodorant brand a rating on two different scales. The first scale was on a basis of Basic to Swag and the other scale was on a basis of Uneffective to Fresh. The terms of scale were defined in the following way:

Swag

Ineffective
Swag the brand features an appealing look an style, both in packaging and marketing. Fresh the brand is highly effective at what it promises to do (i.e. prevent body odor) and meets expectations. Ineffective the brand does not accomplish what it promises adequately (i.e. prevent body odor) and fails to meet expectations. Basic the brands look and image are simple and/or unappealing and does not encompass a certain style

Fresh

Basic
Conclusion: Old Spice definitely creates an appealing culture and style with which consumers like to associate themselves. But, Old Spice was generally rated lower on terms of making effective products or meeting promises. Brands such as Degree and Right Guard, with their clinical strength products were rated much higher on the Fresh scale.

Old Spices strength lies in its advertising campaign and culture it has created. It holds high brand equity and brand awareness and appeals to a very profitable market segment. It offers a variety of different scents and styles of their deodorant/antiperspirant and body wash products all of which can be bought within five miles of everyones house. But, Old Spice products do not have a very low appeal to those outside the demographic at which they are aiming for. Old Spice appeals mostly to young adults who appreciate the entertainment value provided by the brand. People buy Old Spice because the commercials or ads made them laugh and/or they buy into the image Old Spice sells. Although they have successfully captured the Axe market, Old Spice does not as of now does not capture the audience looking for a strong, more effective body odor/sweat prevention. If Old Spice wanted to increase market share, it would have to maintain some of its current image while releasing products along with marketing designed to appeal to older, serious consumers. The release of a clinical strength line of products would be beneficial. Old Spice also holds the opportunity to embark on a campaign which draws upon its brand history. They could act on an Old Spice Classic campaign, focusing on drawing the interest of older consumers by designing marketing more reminiscent of its earlier image as a fathers hygiene product. It will be interesting to see where Old Spice chooses to take its brand in the next couple of years as it already has a reputation for adaptation.
