Lynx promotes antiperspirants with Ponce Buenos Aires ad
Lynx is promoting its range of antiperspirants with a new campaign featuring a man “who doesn’t sweat” in a campaign targeted at Australia and New Zealand from Argentinian agency Ponce
The new ad, launched at the height of summer, shows a man enjoying a Japanese meal when he happens to accidentally eat some wasabi while being watched by an attractive waitress, with David Attenborough-style narration saying “the man who doesn’t sweat – every habitat is his natural habitat”.

Created by creative agency Ponce Buenos Aires, it is set to run across five capital cities and is “in line with the brand’s approach to consistently release fresh creative to promote the spirit of the brand to Australian audiences”.
The campaign is also part of Lynx differentiating between its antiperspirant offering and daily fragrance offering.
Unilever marketing director Jon McCarthy said: “Lynx always prides itself on creating the products that guys want and need, and engaging with our Lynx men in a fun and relaxed manner. This new TVC is true to this brand identity, and lets guys know that Lynx is the go-to antiperspirant deodorant in the pressure moments – whenever they might be.”
It is the latest campaign for the brand launched in Australia which has been created by an overseas agency, with BBH behind the brand’s campaign promoting its styling and shampoo range and the ‘face the world with confidence’ campaign. While Droga5 is listed as the local creative agency, the Sydney agency has not worked on a campaign for Lynx since October 2013.
A Lynx spokesperson did not address questions around Droga5, only saying the brand’s “official global agency is BBH.”
