Manly Cleaning Campaigns

#SwifferDad Shows the Changing Relationship Between Men and Cleaning

— May 19, 2015 — Lifestyle
For its #SwifferDad campaign, Swiffer partnered with four influential dad bloggers to dispel some of the misconceptions about men and cleaning. The project is led by Black-ish star and father Anthony Anderson as creative director, highlighting how many modern dads are now stepping up around the house to pitch in with upkeep.

Swiffer notes: "Half of today's dads say they do the majority of cleaning of their homes." In the ad, the dads describe that by making lunches or cleaning up messes, they have more time to enjoy spending time with the family and feel like more of an integral part of the home. Doyin Richards describes modern parenting best when he says: "When something happens, like there's a mess—[it's] first man or woman on deck."
Trend Themes
1. Redefining Gender Roles - Swiffer's #SwifferDad campaign highlights a shift in traditional roles and opens up opportunities for marketing and product targeting.
2. Family-centric Cleaning - More dads involved in cleaning and household upkeep create an opportunity for products and services targeted towards family cleaning needs.
3. Influencer Campaigns - Collaborating with influential dad bloggers opens up opportunities for brands to reach new audiences and tap into emerging markets.
Industry Implications
1. Cleaning and Household Products - Brands in this industry should consider adjusting their marketing and product lines to target and accommodate the growing number of men doing household cleaning.
2. Parenting and Family Services - More dads taking on household cleaning responsibilities opens up opportunities for services aimed at busy families who need help keeping their homes clean.
3. Social Media and Influencer Marketing - Creating strategic partnerships with influential parenting bloggers and social media personalities can help brands reach new audiences and promote their products/services.
