After Initial ‘Headless Breasts’ Attraction, Axe Helps Men Find True Love

susan_glenn_times_square.jpg

All while acknowledging the initial carnal desire two humans may have over one another with its “headless breasts” ad, Axe is also continuing its Susan Glenn trajectory. If you recall, the brand ran an ad that featured Kiefer Sutherland who lamented the day when his Susan Glenn, the woman of his dreams, slipped away. That work is quite brilliant.

The brand is continuing in that vein by helping men find their own Susan Glenns. A six-episode video series, a Facebook page and a Fear No Susan Glenn website that allows guys to upload images of their Susan Glenn to a virtual Times Square billboard (which can then be shared with one’s Susan Glenn) – all aim to help men reconnect with their lost loves.

It’s an intriguing approach for a brand that always has (and still does) focus mainly on initial sexual attraction as its mainstay.

I’m 73 and I slept badly for a decade before I understood that the problem wasn’t my sleep — it was everything I was bringing to the bed with me, the unresolved conversations, the accumulated worries I’d been too busy to feel during the day, the low-grade anxiety about everything and nothing that only found its full voice in the dark, and the sleep got better when I stopped treating it as a separate problem and started treating it as information
