U.K.’s leading natural deodorant brand Fussy has just launched its first-ever YouTube video featuring "Dragon’s Den" star and investor Deborah Meaden.
Helmed by creative agency 10 Days, the 90s rap-inspired music video highlights the efficacy of Fussy's award-winning formula.
“Believe the Fuss” serves to educate consumers about the benefits of switching to natural deodorants while entertaining them with humor and nostalgia.
The song also invites consumers to join the battle against body odor (BO), which is humorously represented as the "enemy" that Fussy’s natural deodorant is fighting against.

10 Days creatively emphasizes how Fussy’s products help combat this issue effectively by transporting the watchers on a metaphorical journey inside an armpit, where the battle against BO is taking place.
On the stage, we see Fussy’s natural ingredients coconut, grapefruit, and sunflower facing off against aluminum-based antiperspirants encouraging viewers to make more eco-friendly choices.
"At Fussy we take what we do seriously but not ourselves. So what better way to explain the benefits of switching to a natural deodorant like Fussy than making a rap video inside someone’s armpits with giant fruit and aluminium people… it makes total sense,” Fussy CEO Matt Kennedy said.
Video marketing is an effective storytelling strategy that can effectively communicate what a brand or product stands for, increasing awareness and widening market reach at the same time.
Taking an Innovative Approach to Sustainability
“Believe the Fuss” reinforces Fussy’s commitment to sustainability by turning big brands' used plastic deodorant bottles into limited-edition vinyl records.
Kennedy then hand-delivers them to Unilever HQ, one of the major players in the traditional personal care industry.
This quirky move not only showcases the brand's innovative approach to recycling, proving that even something as small as a deodorant bottle can play a role in helping the planet.

Bringing Meaden’s cameo to Fussy’s campaign further increases its credibility due to her well-established reputation for supporting innovative, sustainable, and ethical businesses.
Over 80% of consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable products even as cost-of-living continues to rise, and Fussy’s approach aligns perfectly with this growing demand for more eco-friendly options.
With Meaden leading the charge, the message is clear: taking care of yourself and the environment can go hand in hand, no matter the pressures of everyday life.
Other big brands like Fussy have also placed efforts in developing campaigns focused on sustainability.
Recently, tech giant Hitachi released an action-packed movie trailer to showcase its efforts toward a sustainable future.
