Nostalgic Y2K-Inspired Commercials

Dove Reinterprets 'Don't Cha' with the 'Hot Like Us' Campaign

Dove's latest marketing endeavor, which was aptly titled 'Hot Like Us,' dropped during the 2026 Grammy Awards. The goal of this Y2K ad was to promote the brand's reformulated Alcohol-Free Whole Body Deodorant Spray.

The 'Hot Like Us' commercial is sure to appeal to Gen Z and Millennial consumers, but it will especially impart a nostalgic feeling in the latter demographic. Central to the campaign is Molly Grace's remix of a popular early 2000s song by The Pussycat Dolls called 'Don't Cha.'

With the 'Hot Like Us' campaign, Dove strives to impart a sense of nostalgic camaraderie and confidence, while visually and audibly communicating the product’s core benefit — effective odor management without the discomfort often associated with alcohol in traditional deodorants.
