tom hardy for jo malone london

I was approach by Jo Malone London to work on a global campaign with new male ambassador, Tom Hardy for Cypress & Grapevine Cologne Intense. The work involved developing a TOV for a new male audience (that complements JML’s house guide), conceptualisation of Tom Hardy, campaign and fragrance copy, over 400 copy applications (web, CRM, 2D, social, out of home, press, clienteling, influencer marketing, events), editing/sub-editing, brand partner copy and working with talent teams.

Core ambassador, campaign and fragrance copy below informed the tone for the global 360° campaign (FY24-26) and ensured continuity of voice across all touchpoints.

THE WORK

CORE COPY
Ambassador — British actor and producer Tom Hardy is a prolific talent, known for his cerebral performances on stage and screen. As an arbiter of taste and creator of character, Tom is perfectly placed to helm Jo Malone London’s global campaign for men’s fragrance Cypress & Grapevine Cologne Intense.

Campaign story — For the one who savours surprise. Chance encounters, mysterious coincidences and unforeseen change. It’s all welcome. Because it all belongs. Cypress & Grapevine Cologne Intense. They’ll ask you what you’re wearing.

Scent story — Cypress & Grapevine Cologne Intense is refined, distinctive and bold. The aromatic notes of cypress trees unite with the warmth of grapevine and the sensuality of amber. A fresh and woody scent that leaves a lasting impression.
