Swap your razor for a razr with Motorola this Movember
Staying connected with the people around us is one of the best things we can do for our mental health. Reaching out to a mate, even just to say hello, reminds them they’re not on their own, and might be just the nudge they need to talk about what’s really going on.
That’s why we’re teaming up with Motorola UK this Movember. Together, we’re asking people across the UK to put down their razors, pick up a razr and get talking about men’s health.
Our campaign “Swap your razor for a razr” brings together Motorola’s legendary foldable smartphone and our iconic moustache, with one simple aim: grow more moustaches to start more conversations that matter.
Over the coming weeks, you’ll see the campaign come to life across our social channels and on Motorola’s online store. Follow @MotorolaUK and @MovemberUK to keep up with the campaign!

Why Motorola?
Tom Ellis , our Country Director for the UK, said:
“Movember started 23 years ago with two friends in a pub and a dare to grow a Mo – the best conversation starter there is. Friendship is still what drives our movement today. And that’s why this Motorola partnership is a natural fit, helping us take these conversations to the places people already spend their time, from social feeds to the high street, using humour and creativity to open the door to something more meaningful. Because while growing a moustache might start the conversation, it’s what comes next that matters.”
Wilkin Lee , Head of Marketing at Motorola UK&I, added:
“There are very few partnerships where the creative idea feels this naturally connected to both brands. ‘Swap your razor for a razr’ gives us a simple, playful way to get people to stop, look twice and hopefully start a conversation. Behind the fun is something much more important. Movember has spent years getting people to talk about men’s health, and we’re proud to use the Motorola brand and our platforms to help amplify that message. If swapping your razor for a razr gets one more person to grow a Mo, start a conversation or think differently about their health, then that’s a pretty good swap.”
Pick up the phone
Yes, the pun was too good to resist. But the idea behind it is a serious one. Most of us already keep in touch with our mates through our phones, which makes them the perfect tool for checking in when something feels off.
You don’t need a grand gesture or the perfect words. A text, a voice note or a quick call can be enough to show someone you’re there.
Our ALEC framework (Ask, Listen, Encourage action and Check in) can help you get started.
