Megan Fox (39) Turns Up the Attitude in Tight Leather While Schooling Men in New Dr. Squatch Ad
Megan Fox is front and center in a new global ad campaign from men’s grooming brand Dr. Squatch, which is aiming to push natural deodorant products in a very unusual classroom-style setting.
The campaign is built as a short series where Fox plays a strict but stylish professor. In the ads, she is known as “Professor Fox,” the head instructor at a fictional school called the Dr. Squatch Foundation for Odor Excellence. The brand presents it as a playful training ground where men are “educated” about better hygiene choices.

In one of the main scenes, she appears in a black leather outfit and walks through a classroom filled with male students. The tone is exaggerated and comedic, mixing instruction with bold humor. At one point in “Manliness 101,” she tells the class, “whip out your sticks.” The moment causes confusion, with one student misreading the instruction, before she corrects him using a riding crop and clarifies she is talking about deodorant sticks, not anything else.
The ads are designed to highlight the brand’s natural deodorant line compared to more traditional products. The message is simple: the company wants to show that natural ingredients can be a better option for daily use.
According to John Ludeke, chief brand officer at Dr. Squatch, the goal is not just to sell products but to entertain and connect with viewers first. He explained, “Our mission from the very beginning has been to inspire and educate men to be happier and healthier.” He also said the team focuses on content that grabs attention before delivering information about ingredients and benefits.
Ludeke added that the brand tries to go beyond basic advertising. He said, “We focus on the idea that average marketing communicates the product benefits, good marketing communicates outcomes, and great marketing communicates identity, emotion, and feeling.” He believes this approach helps the brand stand out in a crowded market.
The campaign is set to run across multiple platforms including television and streaming ads, aiming for a wide global audience.
Dr. Squatch has built a reputation for using humor and bold ideas in its marketing. In the past, it has worked with different celebrities and internet personalities to promote its products, including campaigns that leaned heavily into comedy and viral moments. One of its earlier promotions involving actress Sydney Sweeney also gained massive online attention.
For this new project, the company says Fox was chosen because of her strong recognition and pop culture status. The idea was to use her image in a playful way that still delivers a clear message about personal care.
Ludeke described the character of Professor Fox as a way to mix humor with education, saying the concept was built to grab attention while still talking about product benefits in a simple way.
This campaign is clearly designed to go viral first and inform second. It uses humor and celebrity power to get people watching, then slips in the product message. Some people will find it funny and creative, while others may think it is too much for a deodorant ad. What do you think about this style of marketing? Does it work for you, or is it over the top?
