AXE Connects with Gen Z Through Youth Sports Sampling
AXE partnered with TeamSnap to put its new colored hair gel directly into the hands of Gen Z boys and their moms. Axe sampled nationwide at major youth lacrosse and soccer tournaments as part of its "Ditch the Label" campaign.
"We appreciate AXE supporting our club this season. Their hair styling products are now my kids' go-to brand."
Youth Sports Parent
AXE was looking for a way to get its new colored hair gel into the hands of Gen Z boys and their moms. The brand wanted to make an authentic connection with youth sports players by sampling the product nationwide, encouraging young men to "Ditch the Label" as part of its latest campaign.
Through TeamSnap, AXE targeted major youth lacrosse and soccer tournaments across the country. At each tournament, AXE set up branded field banners and tabling to distribute product and collect testimonials, resulting in 75,000+ samples distributed among Gen Z boys and moms, a 90% increase in purchase intent, and a 130% increase in brand recall for AXE products.
