Unilever launches 'Breaking News' campaign for Lynx Attract

Unilever launched its latest TV campaign for Lynx Attract in the UK last night, based on "breaking news" of a worldwide epidemic of men and women being uncontrollably, sexually attracted to one another.

Created by Razorfish, the ad includes footage of chaos breaking out on the streets of various cities around the world and broke on ITV last night (27 February).

The campaign is set to be rolled out across 15 countries in Europe, with the original films re-shot using 11 different actresses, speaking 13 different languages, for a total of 83 edits.

Andrew Waite, brand manager for Lynx at Unilever UK, said: "The brief was to make the idea of chaos famous."

Activity will run across TV and online, including additional creative on Google's YouTube and Facebook. Media planning and buying across Europe is being handled by WPP's Mindshare.

The campaign will be supported by outdoor creative from Grand Visual and builds on the .
