Execution
The brand’s greatest asset is its status as a genuine badge – one high-profile Hip Hop artists celebrate. Being a “Magnum Man” is about a life well lived. If you are “living large”, you protect that life by practising safe sex.
Opportunity: Create a relevant conversation between the brand and consumers through music and facilitated by inspirational role models within the target audience. We created an evergreen initiative that encourages an open discussion of sexual health in urban communities by celebrating the culture – and the success of cultural icons.
