SUMMARY
To successfully launch its new electric razor, Bodygoom, designed to shave and trim body hair, Philips Norelco had to get guys talking about the uncomfortable subject of male body grooming. Without a budget to support traditional media, Philips Norelco needed a big viral idea to take body grooming from a private act to a public topic. To meet aggressive sales goals with a budget of less than $375,000, Philips Norelco had to take body grooming out of the closet.
