Two attractive women, dressed in proper riding attire, are riding horses through the countryside. A rouged looking man, wearing jeans and a T-shirt, sprays on a patch of mud. The women stop, pause and then quickly dismount and start running in the direction of the scent. As they run the pull off their clothes revealing their very sexy undergarments. The women jump into the mud and rub it all over their own and each other’s bodies. The man, peering enchanted at the women, is then spotted. Alluringly, they invite him over. Spraying the body spray all over his chest he runs towards the mud pulling off his clothes. The camera fixes on his shed pants and the words “Spray more Get More. The Lynx effect.” closes the commercial.

The tongue-in-cheek campaign, which plays more like a perfect-pitch comedy series than a typical B2B commercial effort, is a major departure from financial services industry norm--both in its use of humor and in its humanistic approach. Starting this week, FactSet will roll out 16 unique spots—a combination of :30s, :15s, :06s and nine “shorts”—across multiple channels including digital, streaming and CTV.
