Why is this work relevant for Entertainment?

The Most Epic Seafaring Legend Ever Told is an audiobook, co-created with 1500 instagram followers, just to make everyone understand how Old Spice Captain makes you smell. It tells the story of Isaiah, who lost his arm to a sea beast and goes on the most epic and exaggerated quest to get it back, facing killer pirates, the Loch Ness Monster, biceps storms, punching fishes, muscular octopuses, underwater volcanoes, evil male mermaids, an eel, ninja ghosts and all the bearded pirates in history. Users put voice to some of the characters and even their face in the illustrated version.

Background

The new Old Spice Captain makes you smell so fresh and epic, that there was nothing in the sea that we could compare it with to explain its smell. But the brand needed to explain how it smells and engage with its online community at the same time during summer and generate trials among them.

With each participation, users had the chance to win a kit of Old Spice Captain. In the end, it became audiobook that tells the story of Isaiah, who lost his arm to a sea beast and goes on the most epic and exaggerated quest to get it back. Facing killer pirates, the Loch Ness Monster, biceps storms, punching fishes, muscular octopuses, underwater volcanoes, evil male mermaids, an eel, ninja ghosts on submarines and all the bearded pirates in history.
