The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Aussie was founded in 1977 in Australia. The brand makes hair care products. Aussie built its reputation on affordable shampoos and conditioners for everyday use. A kangaroo became the brand's mascot in early advertising campaigns. The line expanded into styling products and treatments. Procter & Gamble acquired Aussie in 1985. Today the brand operates globally, with strongest presence in North America and Australia. Aussie ranks number twelve among beauty and personal care brands tracked across 21,133 total brands. The formula philosophy remains consistent: accessible products at drugstore prices. Aussie targets young consumers and families seeking basic hair care without premium pricing.
