Head & Shoulders was a brand that most guys didn’t want to talk about or admit using. We set out to get the brand talked about by using humor and sports figures that guys could relate to, instead of the typical beauty spots associated with shampoo. The results: within two years, Head & Shoulders became the #1 Shampoo in the world.
