AXE Reimagined

Creative Direction, Design & Illustration: Johanna Nager
Rendering: Pacdora

Oh, that's AXE?

AXE has perpetually promoted itself as a product that will get you that girl. Throughout the years, their advertisements have reduced in vulgarity, but their core message remains the same – AXE will magically make you attractive. Going through multiple attempts of refreshing themselves, the brand is stuck to the notion of attraction.

I aimed to change that, completely.

My suggestion: Target middle class American high-schoolers of all identities and backgrounds. In an age that can be confusing, the new AXE allows you to re identify yourself using the scent you wear.

Exploring concept direction.
