Old Spice celebrates 10 years since breaking the internet with its groundbreaking “Smell Like a Man, Man” campaign by bringing back the original Old Spice Guy Isaiah Mustafa and introducing young breakout star Keith Powers as his TV son in the latest campaign, “Smell Like YOUR OWN Man,” from Wieden+Kennedy, Portland, Ore.
In this spot titled “Time Out,” the Old Spice Guy embarrasses his son when he slides onto the basketball court in hockey skates. Dad interrupts his son’s game to give him a few Old Spice pointers. Over-the-top exploits by the father to assert himself as the grooming expert are to no avail. His low key son is steadfast in preferring the new Ultra Smooth product lineup before his father challenges him to a game of H-O-R-S-E to settle their differences once and for all.
Matias & Mathias directed “Time Out” (and other spots in the campaign) via Epoch Films.
