Gillette Flexball
Tesco launch shopper differentiation
A differentiation idea for the launch of the Gillette Flexball in Tesco across multichannels. ​Gillette Flexball is a revolution in wet shave technology. Its shave-redefining motion, signals the start of a new movement in a man’s morning routine. Like a next-generation smartphone, it renders its clunky predecessors obsolete.
​
My idea of 'Join The Movement' is a rallying call, telling men to ditch their outdated,
out-classed razors and grab hold of the revolutionary Gillette Flexball. Whilst also communicating the product USP of a Flexball pivoted 'movement'. The key visual
shows a raised fist, a symbol of revolutionary change and social unity. Another
nod to this solidarity is seen in the emphasis of the word 'Men' in 'movement'.
​
Offering Tesco shoppers the chance to be the first to experience the revolutionary innovation in wet shaving. To be part of an inspirational, engaging instore product launch and to get access to Tesco exclusive promotions, info on the wider Gillette portfolio and chances to win prizes.

Concepts included:

which rocks from left to right to attract shoppers’ attention.
​

from a smartphone, rolling in any direction (even through water!).
