For the first time, Old Spice's two resident ad stars, Terry Crews and Isaiah Mustafa, are appearing in commercials together.
In a new campaign to help customers choose a scent to match their personalities, Mustafa and Crews star in seven spots slated to be released throughout the fall.
For years, Old Spice has used both men to appeal to different consumers; Mustafa represents the charming hunk working his way into ladies' hearts while Crews' is testosterone personified with bulging muscles and non-stop shouting.
"It's the first time in history that we've had both Isaiah and Terry together," said John Sebastian, marketing director for Old Spice. "The point of it is more than just bringing two guys together. It's about helping people who think about or use Old Spice pick the scent that best fits their personality by connecting scents with the personalities of Isaiah and Terry."
The new spot from Wieden + Kennedy in Portland will launch on broadcast during the Sunday Aug. 9 National Football League Hall of Fame Game. Six more spots featuring Mustafa and Crews will be released later in the fall.
This campaign focuses on three of the brand's most popular scents—Timber, Swagger and Bearglove—which are available in grooming products ranging from deodorant to two-in-one shampoo.
