App Media

Dove Men+Care and AXE wanted to develop ownable, brand-specific content that leveraged the Toronto Raptors’ brand and players to connect with fans. Barber Shop Talks was created, as a way in which fans could engage with our athletes by asking them questions on social media, that were answered in an unscripted setting, with content captured and distributed through social. This initiative led to an increase in awareness and purchase amongst Raptors fans.​
