Gillette is well known for breakthrough technology. But, when they joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we wondered what a billionaire tech genius might do.

This wasn’t just a campaign. It was a totally unique brand moment.

Partnering with Avengers: Age of Ultron, we staged a full Stark Industries takeover of Gillette HQ–and created Avengers-inspired razors fans went wild for (even if they weren’t real).

Gillette lets Iron Man take a crack at R&D.

Gillette’s hero moment

We staged a real world takeover event at Gillette HQ, launched an insanely viral "Innovation Film," and delivered a global campaign that still ranks as one of Gillette's most beloved: 

  • Cannes Lion Shortlist Entertainment + Promo & Activations

  • One Show Finalist, Brand Transformation 

  • Adweek Top Brand Moment Of The Year 

  • Effies Finalist, North America
