JWT Sydney launches TONI&GUY haircare project using Australian fashion bloggers
JWT Sydney has revealed a project for the Australian launch of the TONI&GUY haircare range.
The project which was initiated in March involved collaborating with Australian fashion bloggers to create content around the brand’s ‘Hair Meet Wardrobe’ philosophy.
The digitally led project titled ‘Blogged & Bound’ sees 20 prolific fashion bloggers give their interpretation of the Hair Meet Wardrobe style philosophy, which champions self expression and explores the intrinsic link between hair and fashion. Central to the project is a bespoke hardcover book titled ‘Blogged & Bound’ and a series of 20 short films made for the web.
Says Candice Fernandez, Unilever TONI&GUY marketing specialist: “These consumers are thirsty for fashion and style inspiration, and consider their hair to be a natural extension of their overall look. ‘Blogged and Bound’ takes them on a journey to discover each blogger’s self expressive style and inspiration. The campaign helps to cement
TONI&GUY’s title as a hair fashion authority in Australia.”
The campaign focuses on the fusion of hair and wardrobe and the crucial role it plays in supporting individual style. TONI&GUY Hair Meet Wardrobe products were used to style the campaign.
‘Blogged & Bound’ profiles each blogger in a four-page spread in a bespoke publication distributed to cafes, salons and fashion boutiques across Australia. Content also appears extensively across blogs and other social channels. A series of accompanying films take viewers on a journey through a day in the life of their favourite fashion blogger.
Says Ashadi Hopper, JWT national creative director, digital & direct: “Fashion blogging has incredible diversity, so we tailored content to each blogger’s individual audience and style. This content gives TONI&GUY a significant presence across digital and traditional channels and with an authentic voice.”
The project is the first major campaign by JWT Sydney since the agency was appointed to lead the digital creative for TONI&GUY hair care products ahead of its launch in Australia. Notably, the web content was produced entirely in-house using JWT director, Jesse McElroy.
The TONI&GUY haircare collection launches into Woolworths, Coles, Priceline and Big W this month.

That’s an impressive body of work right there. Congrats
Angry jealous comment.
Something something bad idea.
Arghhhhhhh
20 films! what was the budget?!
nice idea, really nicely executed
45 credits – might give an indication of the budget. Usually this many people would mean a watered down campaign – kind of like this though!
I would have kept my mouth shut if i read that Toni & Guy or a photographer came up with the idea (because its not their day job to come up with great ADVERTISING ideas), but for an ad agency… this campaign is lazy and idealess.
great work, very well crafted!
does it need to be an ADVERTISING idea? i read one of the blogs that is featured and this appealed to me, so job done?
Fashion-adland gal, keep working on your JWT briefs and you’ll get there one day. just not today.
Hair today, gone tomorrow.
Lacking any idea or insight, it feels like something the suits would make.
Fashion-adland gal, keep working on your JWT briefs and you’ll get there one day. just not today.
nice fluff which has appeal to at least that ‘war and peace’ credits listing… wow that is an audience on its own… I notice the coffee runner missed out, must have been an oversight!!
