TBWAChiatDay LA conceived of this Supercuts campaign starring actor Michael Kelly (a three-time Emmy nominee for House of Cards) as he promotes a greater appreciation of hair. Being follically challenged, Kelly has a deep appreciation which is in sharp contrast to the full-head-of-hair folks who surround him in everyday life.

Included in the mix of campaign work directed by David Shane of production house O Positive is this anthem spot in which Kelly seems to be the only one who doesn’t take hair for granted. In that spirit, he cites Supercuts for taking better care of hair than most people do.

“This campaign allowed our agency to do what we love most: Identify the soul and voice of a brand that differentiates its business within its category,” said Renato Fernandez, CCO, TBWAChiatDay L.A. “What we found in Supercuts was a playful, fun tonality that enabled us to bring humor to the concept of not taking your hair, or the value that Supercuts offers for granted, while still having a bit of fun connecting with the next generation of men who may face this reality one day.”
