Harry’s celebrates the inner confidence a good shave brings with ‘Feel Good, Fellas’

Created by London-based creative shop The Or, ‘Feel Good, Fellas’ is a long-term vision for Harry’s, giving it the role of the ultimate hype man to the everyday man.

To launch the platform, The Or has created a film which follows a business leader whose world is transformed by his younger colleague’s confident satsuma-peeling skills during a meeting. He then continues to dwell on this life-changing moment, recounting the event to anyone who will listen. 

The aim of the campaign is to highlight how a good shave can lead to an easy injection of confidence required by every man in everyday life.

Harry’s global social mission supports organisations with a shared commitment to providing mental health access for men. Harry's has donated over $12.5M to support this cause since the brand launched.

The film will be accompanied by DRTV, radio and press, with further PR activations planned over the coming months.

This is the first campaign for the brand from The Or who became Harry’s lead creative agency in the UK last November. They worked alongside film production company Somesuch, to produce the campaign.

Charlene Chandrasekaran, executive creative director at The Or said, “For our first campaign for Harry’s, we wanted to adopt the light-hearted nature of the brand to shine a light on the idea that a good shave is central to how you feel, not just how you look. The confidence in peeling a satsuma in one, felt like the perfect way to depict the ‘Feel Good, Fellas’ message; a small everyday win that can leave a lasting impact.”
