CHALLENGES
The heritage brand was founded in LA and gained early credibility as a leader in innovative footwear. In the years following trends changed and other factors slowed growth and the brand had lost visibility. The opportunity to manufacturer a shoe in Los Angeles in a unique manner brought with it a chance to capture impressions.
SOLUTIONS
A campaign theme was developed showcasing the new shoe within the context of other sustainable players from Los Angeles. To help amplify the message and lend additional credibility, the following “LA players” were shot on location wearing the shoe. Content would be repurposed for the blog and showcased on the landing page as well as social and website.
Food - Canyon Coffee
Hospitality - Proper Hotel
Architecture - Dan Brunn Architecture
Fashion - Varsity Vintage
A brand film was created as the primary storytelling vehicle. Social assets were created from the main piece and a unique landing page was developed to pull everything together from the content shot to the stories of the participants. The launch event introduced the new shoe to the media and other Los Angeles influencers prior to the shoe’s release online.
