Arsenal’s New Away Kit Inspires Tongue-in-Cheek "Accidental Collaboration" with Lynx

The campaign was created with LOLA MullenLowe

The football world went crazy when they noticed that Arsenal's new away kit looked very similar to a can of Lynx Africa. Hundreds of comments were made across social platforms from football fans tagging Lynx, and some fans even edited the Lynx Africa logo onto the kit.  

Lynx reacted quickly, jumping into the conversation with a humorous response that announced the release of their very own Lynx Africa away kit edition. However, the catch was that there was nothing special about their limited edition; it is completely the same as always with the same colours, the same can, almost identical to the new Arsenal away kit, an accidental collaboration.

A 40-second video was launched on Lynx’s social platforms with a tongue-in-cheek approach on how they put zero effort into benefiting from a multimillion-pound coincidence.

Tomás Ostiglia, LOLA MullenLowe executive creative director, said, “The fortune of having a brand that is part of British culture, combined with the luck of this multi million-quid coincidence, results in this amusing campaign where we ironically boast about having done absolutely nothing. Thank you, Arsenal Football Club!” 

Caroline Gregory, global brand director Axe/Lynx at Unilever, said, “We saw this coincidence as just too good to miss and we simply had to get involved in the conversation in the way that Axe knows how to, with a tongue in cheek approach that’s very much in line with the brand’s tone and personality.”
