The all-important do’s…

✅ Make sure your Old Spice deodorant is visible within the first 3 seconds
✅ Keep your video short – 30 seconds max, please
✅ Keep it natural and authentic
✅ Apply deodorant under your armpits only
✅ Smell the product, react, and describe the scent and how it makes you feel
The equally important do nots…
❌ Don’t feature any other brands or compare Old Spice with other products
❌ Don’t show alcohol, firearms, tobacco, or drugs
❌ No nudity or sexual content
❌ And definitely no racism, sexism, ageism, or any discriminatory content
❌ Never imply the product is for internal use, it’s only for your pits!
Extra technical tips for a top-notch video 📽️
- Clean your camera lens – it makes a big difference, trust us.
- Use natural light – face a window or film outside if you can.
- Keep your phone steady – use a tripod or stable surface to avoid shaky footage (difficult if you’re on the dance floor, admittedly).
- If you’re speaking, make sure your voice is loud and clear. Audio is a big deal!
- Keep background music low so your voice can be heard (and if you’re in da cluuub, consider captions instead of live VO).
- Use editing apps like CapCut, InShot, or your preferred editor to polish your video.
