THE APPROACH
6.2 THE RATIONALE
“What
do
women
REALLY
want
in
a
man?”
Women
love
men
who
are
fresh,
clean
and
look
good.
But
studies
show
that
what
matters
the
most
is
what’s
on
the
inside:
men
who
value
trust,
bonds,
closeness and
most
of
all,
those
who
feel
good
about
themselves
and
are
confident
in
who
they
are.
Nivea
for
Men
“More
than
Skin
Deep”
campaign
seeks
to
bring
men
and
women
closer
to
one
another
by
providing
products
that
help
them
go
more
than
skin
deep.
By
looking
good
and
feeling
good
about
themselves,
men
can
show
women
how
much
they
value
their
relationship
and
how
their
bonds
go
beyond
skin
deep.
