Philips joins forces with Japanese esports team SCARZ for six-month campaign featuring exclusive content

Japan – Philips Japan has partnered with esports team SCARZ, supported by FUSE, Omnicom Media Group’s sports division. The partnership makes the Philips S9000 rotary shaver the official grooming product for SCARZ’s e-motorsports division, uniting precision grooming with high-performance gaming.

Over six months, FUSE will help Philips and SCARZ create exclusive content, including a documentary, fan contests, and masterclass videos, breaking away from traditional shaver marketing in Japan.

The Philips S9000 rotary shaver, with its advanced rotary technology, mirrors the precision and agility of SCARZ’s e-motorsports athletes, highlighting a perfect synergy between grooming innovation and competitive gaming.

Maria Cecilia Grandi, personal health marketing director at Philips JAPAC, said, “Philips Shavers, with their high quality and innovative rotary performance, have gained more attention from the young audience in Japan, eager to find the best tool that is both effective and gentle on their skin. The SCARZ team is the perfect partner to bring our rotary performance to life and highlight the fun in a great shaving experience.”

Natsuko Nozawa, personal health digital and creative lead at Philips Japan, also shared, “With the partnership with SCARZ and FUSE, Philips Japan celebrates car enthusiasts’ passion about racing and mastering the rotations/turns and the deep emotions that love for cars and for self-care through an amazing shaving experience can create.” 

“Through FUSE’s profound understanding of creating brand love and bringing an innovative approach to communication in media, Philips can diversify its creative expression in the Japan market through this unconventional and passionate partnership,” Nozawa added. 

Philips’ six-figure sponsorship brings together grooming and gaming, two fields driven by precision and performance, under the theme “mastering rotation leads to victory.”

Commenting on the partnership, David Lister, head of content at FUSE APAC, said, “Philips Japan and our wonderful client, Natsuko Nozawa, saw the value in e-Sports over several options we had worked through because fundamentally, e-Sports is a content creation and amplification machine. 

“E-Sports teams exist 100% in created content—in games and on social platforms. In that context, there is a lot that SCARZ can do in their content-first environment to tell the Philips rotary shaving story for us through personalities, racing, and performance. It has rotary at its heart and the ability to be easily scaled through their platforms,” Lister added.
