When it comes to ill-thought out ad campaigns and dodgy tweets from major companies, Twitter users don’t hesitate to put them on blast.
Nivea has once again come under fire, this time regarding a campaign that advertises a product giving you visibly fairer skin. That hasn’t gone down well.
Dove dropped the ball in a big way, again, and that has led to much ridiculing online. This take on the matter might be our favourite response yet.
Dove’s latest beauty ad campaign over in America has been swiftly deleted, after allegations of racism and colourism flooded the brand’s social pages.
If you had to use one word today to describe what would it be? Would you be positive about yourself? Chances are you wouldn’t be, and that needs to change.
Dove’s latest ‘Real Beauty’ campaign makes women look dumb and gullible. Dove follows women by using video diaries, as they embark on testing Dove’s latest product, RB-X. Has the skin care brand gone too far?
The description for local comedian Brendan Jack’s latest parody simply reads: “We asked men, what do you love about your body. And then they told us.” The results are lovely. Please enjoy this.
As a woman, you’re probably reasonably responsible when it comes to maintaining overall health and general well-being. One routine that goes a long way toward maintaining a healthy status quo is moisturisation, which men are desperately slow to realise. But while you’re waiting for them to catch up, you should know that you have three […]
Winter’s around the corner, so we’ll be running a few features on products to help you get through the colder months. Because of their recent news relevance, we thought we’d start with Dove. Obviously, we’ll be talking about dry winter skin, AKA “ice leather”, and moisturisation.
Dove has a new title, the most watched Internet advert. The “Dove Real Beauty Sketches” campaign has placed the company on top of the log with over 114 million views to date since its release last month.
This has been in the vault for quite some time and we felt bad that we hadn’t shared it with you. Never seen before footage – behind the scenes at 2oceansvibe Media.
COMPETITION CLOSED! Congratulations to Neil Basson, for the following winning entry: Look, as much as the folks over at Dove Men+Care SA are concerned for your personal grooming happiness, you should be as concerned for those around you, as you are for yourself. August is Women’s Month, and men, it’s time to pledge a greater commitment to personal […]
Look at our man Victor, all grown up! South Africa’s favourite beard isn’t falling out of the international spotlight anytime soon, apparently. Earlier in the year Dove Men + Care announced Victor Matfield as the impeccably-groomed and bestubbled face of their brand, and now we know why he was chosen. With fellow brand ambassadors like Shaquille […]
The latest US edition of Fortune is focussed on investing and retiring rich. A 15 page article featuring food, drink and household products as top investment picks, highlighted some of our very own 2oceansvibe preferred brands/sponsors. The article even mentions the new SA Unilever plant! These screenshots were taken from my iPad version of Fortune […]
“Dirty” used to be a name prefix that any man could be proud of. Dirty Harry, for example, was a tough SOB. But times, they’re a changin’. And now that women are allowed to look at men the same way men have been looking at women for eons past, our jig is up. We’re being […]
It’s common knowledge that I am an only child, born under a rainbow; and with that predisposition comes a unique set of experiences that other children with siblings may not have experienced. That’s at least what I thought, before I started chatting about this issue of Dove soap to my buddies last weekend. It turns […]
As a guy with a penchant for staying clean and not breaking into a sweat, I could be (and have been) described as ‘metrosexual’ from time to time. I’m fine with that because, on the whole, it is appreciated by all. As a result, I used my mother’s Dove soap throughout my youth and now […]
