Lynx Black tells men to ‘bring the quiet’ in new campaign from BBH London
Lynx is asking men to be more “understated” in a new campaign for Lynx Black, as the brand reaffirms its position as a “total grooming suite”.
Created by BBH London, the campaign targets the “over-the-top” nature of Australian culture, and encourages men to “bring the quiet” with their new, more “subtle” fragrance.
The campaign consists of a 30 second spot that will play on Free and Pay TV, backed up by a 60 second TVC to play across Youtube.

A video clip to celebrate the global launch uses a soundtrack from artist Novo Amor which is a stripped-back version of Guns n’ Roses classic ‘Welcome to the Jungle’.
In a statement, Unilever marketing director Jon McCarthy said Lynx Black was developed “as a direct response to the growing trend in a more refined approach to style and grooming.”
“The campaign materials not only deliver this in a clever way, but with a strong stamp of LYNX’s personality.”
Lynx Black consists of body spray, antiperspirant, roll on, shower gel, as well as styling clay and gel foam exclusive to the Black brand.
