360i launched a new campaign promoting Hanes X-Temp technology with the 60-second spot “Hot N’ Hairy.”
The spot explores the truism that body hair is hot, as in temperature hot, contributing to the often overwhelming summer heat. A group of hairy men attest to the fact, before an actor portraying a scientist, also hairy, presents Hanes X-Temp shirts, boxers and socks as the solution. “Hot N’ Hairy” brings the goofy humor pretty much non-stop, often misfiring with its jokes and visual gags. Nevertheless, the silly approach is memorable and really hammers home the product benefits without taking a break from the corny jokes. Hairy dudes especially are not likely to forget the spot, and that just might lead to them grabbing some X-Temp products the next time they muster up the courage to brave the summer heat for a trip to the store.
