Fit Check by AXE, starring diamond-certified producer Metro Boomin and platinum-selling artist Coi Leray, is the first installment in the brand’s 'Smell Finer. Get Closer' campaign. In the 30-second spot, people are transported to a dreamy setting after catching a whiff of AXE Black Vanilla.
Over the last few years, the iconic men's grooming brand refreshed its image to target Gen Z and AXE is solidifying its stance by strategically shifting its messaging to include Gen Z women, uniting both genders by underscoring scent's power in attraction. This inclusive approach not only broadens the brand's appeal but also champions real, face-to-face experiences in an increasingly digital world.
AXE is set to launch this new spot during National Basketball Association games in March, and during major sports and entertainment broadcasts.
