Shine as a Global Leader

Wahl Professional sought to increase sales of their 5-Star Series Shaver/Shaper. They also wanted to address issues with customer satisfaction, tool abandonment and returns that frequently resulted from improper use and misinformed technique. Wahl needed a single video that could showcase the Shaver’s versatility, educate on proper technique, and demonstrate proper care/maintenance. Lastly, Wahl wanted to maximize views of the video to end-users in a cost-effective manner.

Strategic Insight

Knowledge is Power

• Hair care professionals are visual learners who are most receptive when working in a “hands-on” environment.
• To connect and convey industry credibility with the target audience, the chosen talent was a high-profile professional barber/stylist and educator.
• In order to maximize video views and social engagement, a modest investment was made to promote the video -- with the expectation it would would pay big dividends.

Tactical Execution

Up Close and Personal

Stealth identified a visually engaging barbershop location that favored natural lighting to ensure an authentic feel. Stealth developed a video concept infused with personality and style that also aimed to simulate a hands-on experience for viewers. Extreme close-ups using an ultra-high-definition camera gave the audience an intimate view of the Shaver and other Wahl tools in action. Frequent use of slow-motion allows viewers to closely follow techniques — helping them to envision using the tools themselves.
