1. Vietnam male-grooming
penetration is still low, comparing
with the other Asian nations
2. In Vietnam, only 15% of men
use men-grooming product
3. Even the biggest
sub-category shampoo, it
can’t reach 50% penetration
AS MARKET LEADER, X-MEN SHOULD DO THE JOB OF
RECRUITING NEW USERS
TO EXPAND THE POTENTIAL MALE-GROOMING CATEGORY
X-MEN is the market leader of
male-grooming category
X-men already has strength in the two biggest
sub-categories, which are shampoo and deodorant

Intensive fragrance
-
Strong fragrance associated
with shiny images is a taboo
for a man, which says that a
man caring for his appearance
is glossy & flashy.
7
In the early of puberty, boys
use ‘for-men’ products as
the evidence of a mature man
They have Driver to enter however, they meet Barriers
The taboo of ‘a man caring much about his appearance’
prevents boys from entering men-grooming category from the early stage.
CHALLENGES FOR MALE GROOMING CATEGORY IN VIETNAM
Discouraged to
care about look
-
From secondary to high
school, teachers and
parents don’t evoke the idea
of boys taking care much
about their appearance.
Luckily, society begins opening its mind.
Men don’t need to bear many taboos like they used to do.

DRIVERS FOR MALE GROOMING CATEGORY IN VIETNAM
2. More men are confident to
accept that they are
metrosexual*
1. The #MeToo and other
movements paved a global
mindset for gender equality
3. Women have more open
perception about men with
shiny outlook and fragrance
It’s a chance for X-Men to direct men-grooming category joining this shift.
(*) A young, urban, heterosexual male
with liberal political views, an interest in
fashion, and a refined sense of taste.
X-MEN should define a brand idea
1. that cracks men’s barrier and liberates them to
step into men grooming from early stages
2. but still makes them masculine, which is the
feature that X-Men owned for a long time

‘Meaningful’ is the key contribution to
Brand Power Score
X-men has the biggest brand equity share in the market coming
from dominant saliency and difference. It’s Meaningfulness that
needs further push to win more (especially from Clear men and
Nivea men). Romano is the second biggest competitor in the
category.
X-MEN IS WEAK ON ITS
MEANINGFULNESS

who is
COURAGE
DARING SPIRIT
TO DO IMPOSSIBLE
THINGS.
OVERCOME
CHALLENGE
DANGER, ATTACK...
PROVE HIMSELF BY
SAVING THE
WOMEN
LET’S DIG DEEP ON WHAT WORKED AND NOT WORKED ON THE REAL MEN IMAGE
for the following reasons
Strong belief that outlook
is an advantage
14
REAL MEN OF X-MAN HAS BECOME THE PHENOMENON
Deploy Universal Truth: Boys
want to prove that they are a
man, not a boy anymore
15
And the influence of pop
culture - Hollywood films:
fantasy, cool, heroic
format: saving the world
X-Men movie-like characters
→ Evoke the unreal feeling
THE OLD “REAL MEN" GRADUALLY BECOMES LESS
RELEVANT TO THE NOWADAYS CONSUMERS
16
Feminism revolution
→ Saving women is not
suitable/ necessary anymore
Challenges do not come from
external factors, but rather internal
→ Men care more of their inner self
THE PROBLEM
However
Category Consumer Brand
17
THEREFORE
SINCE 2016, X-MEN HAS SHIFTED
FROM “MEN WITH OUTER STRENGTH”
TO “MEN WITH SUBSTANCE”
18
Besides X-Men,

NIVEA MEN HAS ALSO TAPPED INTO THE

KEY UNDERSTANDING
24
AGE 18-27 IS A CRITICAL STAGE WHEN MEN WANT TO PROVE
BOTH THEMSELVES AND THEIR MASCULINITY
THEY HAVE THE URGE TO TRULY
PROVE THEIR MASCULINITY
They want to appear masculine and
mature towards girls.
They want to prove their independence
and coolness towards girls.
THEY HAVE THE URGE TO
TRULY PROVE THEMSELVES
They have high attention to their
self-image.
They are more aware of people’s
judgement towards them..
01. 02.
25
THIS STAGE ALSO TRIGGERS ONE OF THE GREATEST FEAR OF MAN -
FEAR OF RIDICULE
One of men’s greatest fears is becoming an object of ridicule. They fear of being ridiculous, as they
believe that “being ridiculous” will damage their self image and masculinity, turn them into a joke
for other people.
AS A RESULT, THIS FEAR PREVENTS MOST MEN FROM
EXPRESSING WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY THINKING
Expressing themselves
and being judged
ridiculous
Wonder whether there is
something wrong with them
Doubt their
personal qualities
26
However , standing up for what they
believe in makes a Real Man
That is also what makes his attractiveness:
Overcoming his fear of ridicule, embracing
his authenticity and showing his
masculinity.
NOTHING IS
RIDICULOUS
WHEN
IT IS ORIGINAL
When a man is not afraid to stand up for
what he believes in, he has a natural
self-assuredness that makes him stand out
head and shoulders above other men.
CATEGORY TRUTH
27
I avoid expressing
my belief as I am
afraid of being an
object of ridicule,
which will ruin my
self image and
masculinity.
Personal care
products that
boost up male
confidence
As a Millennials man, I do not often express out what I actually believe in
as I fear of being ridiculous, which will damage my self image.
Therefore, I need personal care products that boost up my confidence
so that I can overcome my fear and stand up for what I believe in.”

As a Gen Z boy, I do not often take care of my appearance (though I want to) as
I fear of being ridiculous which will isolate me from my friends. Therefore, I
need personal care products that are natural and boost up my confidence so
that I can freely take care of my appearance without anyone’s notice.
Our gen Z - to be our TA, share the same fear of X-MEN core. they also fear of
being ridiculous, but for taking care of their appearance from such a young age
