Project Body Hair — the award winning campaign that put Billie on the map.

Celebrating body hair as a choice, Project Body Hair made history, with Billie becoming the first razor brand to ever show hair in a razor ad.

With body hair as hero, the shoot was themed 'fuzz', forming direction for the campaign's styling, props, location, wardrobe and copywriting. From pom poms and fluffy socks to prickly plant life and brushed out perms, we made 'fuzz' a little more fun.

The campaign launched with a 55-second video co-directed by Ashley Armitage with music by Princess Nokia. Within 24 hours the film reached over a million views and went viral.

The film has since had over 22 million views and over 2 billion earnt impressions in 23 countries.

Stills were shot by photographer Luca Venter as well as Ashley, serving as campaign hero imagery and subsequently as part of an open source image library launch, created to extend the campaign's efforts to 'make the internet fuzzier'.

A little ‘mo love for Billie — flipping Movember on its head.

In a first-of-its-kind campaign, we celebrated the ‘stache in the name of a good cause — again disrupting the hairless flow of outdated beauty standards we’d all outgrown.

Red, White and You Do You — celebrating the bush, for Billie.

Ahead of July 4th and the unofficial start of summer 2019, the campaign again celebrated the freedom to ‘do you’ — reinforcing shaving as a choice, not an expectation.
