ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Jan. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Let’s be honest, we all have things in life that make us sweat. A date? A chem final? Track tryouts? Your band’s first gig? You name it, everyone’s felt the pressure. These moments are unavoidable, so step out of your comfort zone, tackle them head-on and stay fresh with new AXE Gold.

AXE Gold is a new grooming collection that helps you smell fresh all day. So no matter what life throws at you, you’re gold.

The latest product collection from AXE is designed to help guys stay fresher under pressure in those pivotal moments. Featuring three new lines – Gold, Gold Fresh and Gold Original – and a range of benefits like 48-hour odor & wetness protection, and technology to prevent white marks and yellow stains on clothing, guys can keep their style fresh and confidence on point.

The “You’re Gold” campaign extends the AXE Find Your Magic point-of-view, which knocks the one-size-fits-all idea of what a guy “should be” and other confidence killers that make guys feel less than “gold.”

Since seeing truly is believing, three new commercials – Epic Trip, Hanging High Five and Rush Hour, created by 72andSunny – highlight just a few of those everyday situations where guys can stay fresher under pressure with AXE Gold and confidently do their thing.

AXE also presents its gold squad – a group of beloved musicians, athletes, gamers and creators – who will see if they can keep their cool when the pressure is on. The squad is stacked with boundary-pushing badasses, including rapper Lil Yachty, pro basketball player and multi-hyphenate entertainer Brandon Armstrong, YouTuber Markiplier and recording artist Danny Ocean.

With the help of select other creators rallying fans around them, the squad and AXE will show guys that they can confidently go into any situation because they’ll have the tools to stay fresh.

“My music is all about staying positive and being yourself,” says rapper Lil Yachty. “We’re all gold, but it’s hard to always remember that when the pressure’s on. This project with AXE is about staying fresh when the pressure is heavy. Forget the naysayers and own it.”

Fans across the country will also get a chance to trial AXE Gold on the AXE Goldmobile, the brand’s first-ever sampling-mobile, which will give out free (yes, FREE) AXE products at high schools and events across the country.
