The campaign follows the launch of Remington’s ‘80 Years Young’ campaign in July, also created by TBWAManchester, which celebrated the brand’s 80th anniversary and encapsulates Remington’s 80-year heritage of personal care.
Lisa Nichols, executive creative director at TBWAManchester, said: “Our strategy was to create fame for an iconic product shape, and let the truly innovative product do the talking.
“We were delighted to get Joe on board, we’d worked with him in the past, and knew his edgy and eclectic style would bring the vision of our ‘Air Plating’ script to life and really disrupt the personal care advertising conventions.”
Sarah Harding, marketing manager for Remington, said the campaign “reinforces the new direction and celebrates the brand’s expertise at the forefront of personal care since 1937”.
Connor has previously worked with Volvo and Puma, as well as on music videos for the likes of Coldplay, Elbow and Stereophonics.
TBWAManchester also works with clients including Rentalcars, Merlin Entertainments and Smyths Toys.
