On the occasion of International Men’s Day, Manforce Condoms, from the house of Mankind Pharma has rolled out a campaign #KnowWhatHeReallyWants that aligns to break the stereotype revolving around men who only crave physical relationships.
There is a common misconception in society that men only want physical intimacy. Therefore, to redefine the discourse around men, the brand came up with a campaign to help the audience see men beyond their sexual desires. Resonating with the occasion of International Men’s Day, it urges people to not misjudge men and to celebrate the day by discovering what they truly desire. The campaign has been conceptualized by Grapes, an integrated communication agency.
Through the video film, the brand depicts a couple in the middle of a conversation where the man tries to convince his partner to play as he is unable to sleep. Adding a tinge of sexual connotation to the entire conversation, the brand misleads the audience to think that something erotic is going to happen next. But to one’s surprise, the couple was seen playing a game in the following scene, underscoring the fact that men are not always driven by their sexual desires.
Speaking on the occasion, Joy Chatterjee, Associate Vice President- Sales and Marketing head, Mankind Pharma said, “Celebrating International Men’s Day, we came up with the campaign to showcase the true desires of men. The video tries to deliver the message that there are a lot of things in life that can excite men, such as food, travel, spending time with family, achieving goals, etc. and they are not just driven by sexual desires. It encourages the audience to find out what men really want and try to understand them in the process without any misinterpretation.”
