The Stubble Patrol Crew setup at mall location near the entry gate itself.
The Patrol crew covers the mall area in search of Stubble Offenders
They catch anyone with a stubble & arrest them with script sir we are the Gillette Stubble Patrol. Having a stubble is a turn off & almost like a crime. So if you do not want a lifetime of rejection from women, we order you to get rid of your stubble immediately.
STUBBLE OFFENDER
Stubble Elections
The Idea:
Create a mass on ground voting campaign stubble or clean shaven? Who wins? Who loses? Tie up with 200 on ground locations colleges, hangouts, malls, corporate parks & setup a voting booth at each location. Promoters at each location invite people to VOTE for their choice stubble or clean shaven? Both men & women can vote end result, clean shaven wins hands down!!
FB & Twitter post regular updates & encourage people to vote at their nearest polling station.
The results are announced live on radio, online & next day make the headlines in print.
Build Up Activities
The activation builds up hype more & more women join the U Shave I Shave Movement they talk about it at public events/ pub crawls/college debates etc.
JUDGEMENT DAY:
COME OUT CLEAN
Couples come in crowds women bring their men and come for You Shave I Shave at a mall venue.
2 separate zones created one for men, one for women women & men both shave & come out clean.
The press is present, the crowds are present and professional shavers are present.
Judgment Day
10000 people shave at the event its time to COME OUT CLEAN.
Men bow down to the wishes of the women & both get shaved at the event.
Media takes sound bytes and video bytes of the men who admit they want to COME OUT CLEAN for the sake of the women.
