Diesel - Sound Of The Brave

A 360° advertising campaign for Diesel’s men’s fragrance Sound Of The Brave by Mazarine Stories. 

Freedom of expression is a Diesel brand hallmark. We revisited what it means to be brave in the 360° Sound of the Brave campaign. 

Music icon and godfather of British grime, Skepta is the new face of Sound of the Brave. “Courage is no longer a choice in a world where you have to assert yourself,” says Skepta as he invites us to follow his creative process in the hero film directed by Crowns & Owls. A powerful message that encourages the Diesel community to speak out and stand up for what they believe. 

For the launch, we reintroduced the legendary red and white Diesel for Successful Living logo to the fragrance franchise. This is one of the key elements of the brand’s new image under the creative direction of designer Glenn Martens.

We developed a 360° campaign centered around this brand positioning. With its comprehensive ecosystem — comprised of key visuals, a hero film, social content, influencer outreach and a radio spot — the Sound of the Brave resonates internationally.

Our 50 experts build and roll out communications strategies for brands that resonate with their target audiences.

From brand platforms to new narratives, Mazarine Stories works together with brands, helping with conversations and integrated campaigns. From the creative concept to in-house production, our 360° approach touches on online, offline, influence, retail, and street marketing mechanics. At the core of this team is a unit dedicated to social media. They monitor trends and imagine paths of engagement: editorial strategy, content factory, community management, social listening, tailored influence and amplification.

Paco Rabanne 

An iconoclastic campaign for the launch of PURE XS by Mazarine Stories.

With audacity and wit, the 360° campaign, embodied by the young Portuguese model Francisco Henriques, invites us to reveal the Man within us. The film, directed by Johan Renck, was widely broadcast on TV and social networks.

Iconoclastic, offbeat, essential: Pure XS, an extravagant campaign that makes an impression, just like Paco Rabanne.
