Description
On Father's Day, Gillette inspired sons to celebrate their first role model, their fathers, with the timeless father-son ritual of the first shave with 'Foamie with Dad' (a selfie of a father and son harking back to the day that a father thought his son to shave). The campaign was launched on father's day through print and social media. Here Gillette asked sons to click and share a 'foamie with Dad' to celebrate their fathers.
Execution
Fathers are their son's first role model. But unlike the west, in India, the father son relationship is more formal and restrained ? they share very few moments of emotional bonding, unlike mothers and sons. But the one father-son moment that is timeless and can't be taken away from their relationship even when sons grow up is the time when a father teaches his son how to shave for the first time. Gillette, as a brand, inspires men to be the best that they can be, decided to bring Indian fathers and sons closer.
