Epic Deodorant Fails Video Contest – $12,000 Over 13 yo – Due September 10, 2012

Posted on 8:52 am in Over $10000, Over 13, September 2012 by Lynnie

It’s no secret that women go to great lengths to control their sweating – I mean, armpit botox injections, for crying out loud! Special prescription deodorants that cause sweat to migrate to weird parts of your body, like your knee pits? There’s even something called “stacking”… It’s a real thing. Google it.

Everyone has some horror story – the awkward rollercoaster first date, the Q4 make-it-or-break-it boardroom presentation, the watermelon-colored bridesmaids dress debacle of 2010. It seems like it could all be avoided if there were a deodorant you could trust implicitly. One with technology that was actually proven to STOP DEODORANT FAILS FOREVER. FOR REAL.

Which is why they want your tales of EPIC DEODORANT FAILS. We’ve all been there. Seriously, whether it happened to you, your best friend, your sister, (dudes… even your ex-girlfriend… she’ll never know) – enlighten them.

Judging Criteria

The goal of this project is to create an authentic, insightful and funny 30-90 second video that tells a story, from the female perspective, about a time when you would have given [insert item of extreme value here] for an antiperspirant that kept you protected. Get creative here: if you want to shoot a dramatic re-enactment, an epic “pit-fail” montage, or a fake movie trailer, go for it. Just make sure that at some point in the video you mention what your female protagonist would have traded for a deodorant that worked.

– Target Audience: Women of all ages who require odor and wetness protection, more specifically, higher income professionals who thrive under pressure and flourish in the spotlight, and may apply antiperspirant deodorant 2X per day or stash an extra stick in a purse/locker/desk drawer.

– Exposure: TV, Social & Digital.
