/ SKYN SEX TOYS “EXPLORE YOURSELF“ / 2019
This July 20th 2019 marks 50 years since man’s first step on the moon. 50 years since we entered previously un-imaginable, uncharted territory, ushering in a new era in exploration.
SKYN decided to take advantage of this remarkable anniversary to get people thinking about an area we often forget to explore – ourselves – with a campaign for the launch of its new line of intimate accessories.
The film is accompanied by an outdoor campaign featuring the tagline “Exploring space is wonderful. Exploring ourselves should be too”, with billboard trucks in front of NASA headquarter (Washington DC) the symbol of space exploration and in front of SpaceX headquarter (California), the corporation Elon Musk founded with the aspiration of reaching Mars.
/ SKYN “ARISE“ / 2019
The bad news: 112 million men between 18 and 35 years old will suffer erectile dysfunction by 2025.
The good news: Viagra patents have just expired, so now SKYN, the intimacy company, can enter the erectile pill’s competition.
We had a clear objective: let’s turn the taboo perception of this medicine for men with age issues to an assumed topic for a younger audience.
We’ve designed an iconic packaging: the erectile pillbox.
We collaborated with Jean-Baptiste Fastrez, a French designer, to create a modern stylized packaging with a simple and symbolic specificity: the ability to stand up by itself.
The idea was to break the codes of the classic and boring medicine box, to a high-tech and trendy object, express the SKYN philosophy through the design.
An object people would talk about, would be proud to show and play with.
We’ve decided to simply use the pillbox design to introduce the world our new product (Skyn « Arise »), with no words, no storytelling, but only an iconic design idea.
/ SKYN brand “Let’s save intimacy“ / 2018
Condoms, lubricants and toys’ brand Skyn has sparked a campaign to ‘Save Intimacy’ from the isolating side effects of technology.
The initiative has launched with a film directed by Terence Neale, which in Black Mirror-style imagines a world in the close future where humans are entirely incapable of true affection.
/ SKYN “Don’t skip foreplay“ / 2020
Today, porn is the dominant source of sex education for young men, which skews their relationship with sex and their partners. They have a deformed view of reality and give less and less of an importance to listening, the desires of others, and the importance of foreplay. As a leader in the conversation about intimacy, sexual wellness brand Skyn decided to challenge this and use porn to address the problem. By leveraging voices young people would listen to when it comes to sex advice: the pornstars themselves. Super(porn)stars Stoya and Dale Cooper participated in the campaign which was distributed on Pornhub. The porn site with the most web traffic. Starting on 16 April, Pornhub viewers will discover a pre-roll ad featuring these 2 pornstars. 2 sensual videos of foreplay shot in 35mm by Sergi Castella (CREAM), in which Stoya and Dale address viewers directly: « You can skip an ad, but you shouldn’t skip foreplay ». A montage breaking the codes of the category inviting people to take their time.
/ KFC “Bucket Bangers“ / 2020
For decades superstars from around the world have been quoting KFC in their songs. From Run DMC to Kanye West. From Beastie Boys to Drake. So we launched Bucket Bangers, the first playlist that gathers the 46 best songs mentioning KFC on Spotify which came with a large outdoor, street marketing digital campaign using the 46 punchlines as 46 advertising headlines.
Then when Kanye West and his wife went to a Parisian KFC to order chicken, we created a tribute bucket with West’s lyrics and we fixed a commemorative plaque on the kiosk they used. The day after Kim Kardashian surprised us by retweeting these images and generated billions of impressions on social and worldwide mainstream media… for free !
A tribute campaign that calls out the long romance between pop culture and KFC.
