Old Spice / Vault

What an incredible honor it is to be asked to run the run Old Spice account. I got to do it for several years. First with partner Max Stinson. Then solo. Then with partner Sara Phillips. Here’s a smattering of stuff we made.

Old Spice / Sweat Defense

Whether it’s a home game, away game, or video game, Derrick Henry doesn’t play games. Old Spice’s latest franchise player proves that the best sweat defense is a good sweat offense.

Old Spice / Smellable NFT

“Why look at art when you can smell it?” said no one ever. But that didn’t stop us from commissioning the world's first smellable NFT. 25k people helped us create it live on Twitch with a host of famous streamers. And the only way to smell it was by wearing this giant nose helmet sniffer thing.

Smell Like Your Own Man, Man

10 years after introducing Isaiah Mustafa as the Old Spice guy, we brought him back. And gave him a son. And a complicated father-son relationship.

Old Spice / Jazzpits

My parents can’t believe I get paid to come up with such dumb stuff. This post really had them shaking their heads.

Old Spice / Pitfluencer

We created the world’s first Pitfluencer. His name is Armando. Get it? Arm... oh you caught that, okay cool. Just wanted to make sure.

Old Spice / Smell Ready

Inspired by the best slash worst decade in cinema, we created an 80’s action film starring muscles, sweat and Dolph Lundgren. We used deepfake magic to teleport Dolph and his flattop to present day. Dolph gets an ending fit for an action hero. Everyone else gets a face full of sweat.

Old Spice / Wavy Curly

To answer a question left on our Instagram, no we did not “just drop a bunch of acid and go take a long walk.”

Old Spice / Hats are Dumb

When you’re selling hair care products, hats are the enemy.
