Flexifront X5

Launch ads for the Flexifront X5 razor

An animated video ad and a still ad for Instagram and Facebook — built to sell a 0 kr offer clearly, even with the sound off.

The brief

A 0 kr offer, without saying “free”

Flexifront was launching the X5, a razor with five blades, with a strong offer for new club members: the starter kit — razor, extra blades and a holder — for 0 kr, plus shipping.

The brief came with clear rules: ads for Instagram and Facebook, a tone that is masculine but modern, clean, everyday premium, and two hard limits — never use the words "gratis" or "kostnadsfritt", and make everything work without sound.

The idea

Let the number do the talking

If we can't say "free", we can show it. So the biggest thing in the ad isn't a word — it's the number: a huge, heavy "0 kr" that you read before anything else.

Everything else is built around it, in a strict order:

  1. The logo — small, top left
  2. "Prova Flexifront X5" — the invitation, in bold Poppins
  3. What's in the kit — "5-bladshyvel med hållare och extra blad"
  4. 0 kr — the offer as a visual
  5. A white button — the only white shape in the ad, so the eye lands on it last
  6. The shipping cost — small, honest, always visible

The look

The brand colour, edge to edge

We used Flexifront's own gradient — red #EA1612 into orange #E46C1C — as the whole background. In a feed full of photos, a frame that is pure brand colour stands out, and it makes the black-and-orange razor pop.

The product is the hero: the razor stands tall on the right, the holder sits in front of it for depth, and a small flash on the blades draws attention to the five-blade head. All type is white Poppins — the brand typeface — so the ad feels like Flexifront, not like a template.

The video

15 seconds that work without sound

Most people scroll with the sound off, so every scene carries its message in text and motion. The animation tells the offer in five quick beats:

  1. The offer — "Prova Flexifront X5" as the razor rises into frame
  2. The shave — a confident, smiling man in a mosaic of shaving moments
  3. Five blades — the camera moves in on the blade head, a flash runs across it and "5 BLADSHYVEL" spins around it
  4. More in the box — a "+" that turns into the holder and the extra blades
  5. The close — "0 kr" and the button

Along the right edge, "Endast 49 kr i frakt" stays on screen the whole time — so the offer is always honest, in every frame.
