Pilot is an Australian healthcare company for men, providing prescription treatments for hair loss, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and weight management, which are delivered via telehealth.

History

[edit]

Pilot was the first brand to launch under healthcare company Eucalyptus in 2019.[1] It was founded by Tim Doyle, Benny Kleist, Charlie Gearside and Alexey Mitko in Sydney, Australia.[2]

The brand is known for its provocative marketing.[3][4] In 2022, the brand took aim at R U OK? Day for a lack of action around mental health, hiring a billboard truck to drive around Sydney that read "No, we're not OK. Every day Australia loses seven men to suicide. Keep your cupcakes, it's time for action".

Partnerships

[edit]

Pilot has sponsored the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks since 2021, with its logo and branding appearing on the Sharks front short panel.[5]

In 2023, Pilot partnered with Australian MMA star Jack Della Maddalena, who fronted a sexual performance ad campaign, which was filmed in Della Maddalena's hometown of Perth.[6]
