The Brief
The direct-to-consumer fashion and beauty space has flourished in the last decade and has as result become over-saturated with brands vying to distinguish themselves and stand out. “Audas” is a new and functional skincare brand that wants to launch in the US market with a unique & differentiated solution by establishing an emotional affinity with a niche target market.
Our brief was to create a compelling “Go-To-Market” plan that aspires to men between the ages of 18 -50 who are educated and are looking to elevate their basic grooming routines.
The Research
Our research spanned from “How have brands” changed the way they communicate to men in the grooming category (example Lynx/Axe) to how has the pandemic impacted and changed how we consume products. We learned that a shift in purchase behaviour meant that men were broadening their definition of grooming and masculinity.
For some men, this meant exploring new skincare routines while for others it simply involved moving beyond a basic shaving regimen. Which helped us lean into this newfound way men were seeking to feel confident and improve their appearance.
