    Toronto SickKids Sing "You Got It" in New "Together We Will" Ad

    An emotional and uplifting new TV ad for Toronto's Hospital For Children's (Sick Kids) fall brand campaign. The commercial is wrapped around their signature line "Together We Will," and helps to capture the strength, compassion and determination that make SickKids the incredible place that it is.
    This spot feature real SickKids patients, families and staff singing along to Roy Orbison's "You Got It" and highlights unconditional love among families and the lengths to which they go, together with SickKids staff, to help make sick children better.

    Learn more about the campaign please visit www.sickkidsfoundation.com/together. Full Press Release below.

    SickKids campaign rallies community to come together to support children’s health “Together We Will” emphasizes strength in unity Picture this: A four year old leukemia patient braving the MRI table for his next scan. A newborn in an isolet hooked up to oxygen. A child being rushed to the emergency department by ambulance. A dad cradling his baby in a rocking chair in the baby’s hospital room. A teenage cancer patient in her bedroom putting on her wig. A mom and her son doing crafts in a hospital playroom in between his treatments.

    These are just some of the scenes portrayed in a new marketing campaign for The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) set to launch November 12 for six weeks through to December 31, leading up to the busiest giving season of the year. The campaign is centred on the tagline “Together We Will” and emphasizes the strength of a community coming together to help improve children’s health. SickKids staff, patients and families featured in the ads help capture the strength, compassion and determination that makes the hospital an incredible place to the thousands of families who rely on it each year.

    The creative concept is brought to life with a focus on the breadth of people it takes to help a sick child, both at home and at SickKids. Set to the emotional lyrics of Roy Orbison’s You Got It, the television spots feature children, youth and their parents together with SickKids staff in real hospital settings singing along to “…anything you want… you got it… baby.” The spot closes with the caption: We’ll do anything for them. But we can’t do it alone. Together We Will.

    Twelve patient ambassadors aged 17 months to 17 years old from throughout Ontario, with conditions ranging from brittle bone disease to organ transplants and various childhood cancers, are featured in the campaign. Although many of them are in active treatment, these young patients muster all of their energy to sing along and lend their help to inspire people to support the hospital through donations.

    “These scenes capture some of the most poignant moments between a child and their parents or their medical team, reflecting the family-centred care approach at SickKids,” says Ted Garrard, President and CEO, SickKids Foundation. “This campaign truly illustrates the lengths to which staff and families will go, together, to help improve and save children’s lives. Families know they can count on the multidisciplinary medical teams at the hospital when their children need them. This holiday season we need the community’s support to help SickKids continue to be there for anything our patients need, now and in the future.”

    In keeping with the spirit of a community joining forces to help children who need life-saving medical care, a mural featuring leukemia patient Hunter Kemp, 5, and a sampling of 19 representatives from his SickKids circle of care will be installed at Dundas subway station. In the mural, Hunter is joined by his family and his extended SickKids family who have been there for him throughout his cancer treatment, including everyone from his nurse and oncologist to his Child Life Specialist and psychologist. Hospital President and CEO Mary Jo Haddad is also featured. The mural symbolizes the group of people who come together when a child is seriously ill and bears the caption: Together We Will. No Matter How Many of us it Takes. The mural is the focal point of a subway station domination which also includes branded wrapped pillars, stairs and turnstiles.

    The ‘Together We Will’ theme is also integrated with the print campaign which features patients photographed with either a parent or someone from their SickKids medical team with aspirational claims of what can be achieved together with community support. Together We Will Make a Hospital Feel Nothing Like a Hospital and Together We Will Search for Answers are examples of how the print campaign aims to inspire people to help SickKids achieve its vision to advance children’s health in Toronto and around the world.

    Elements of the campaign include mass marketing with television, print and out-of-home advertising including a branded domination at Dundas subway station and at 10 Dundas St. E., elevator wraps in 35 buildings and presence on 110 elevator screens throughout buildings in downtown Toronto. A: 60 second television spot is the focus of the campaign, with supporting 15-second spots, print ads and digital banner ads. The 60-second spot will run before every movie in six Cineplex theatres in the Greater Toronto Area.

    There is also a digital component called SickKids Free Movie Day. People can help fill a virtual theatre online at www.sickkidsfoundation.com/together to send SickKids kids on an exclusive movie experience this holiday season. Cineplex will provide a complimentary movie screening for young patients who are healthy enough to attend the theatre in the new year.

    The campaign website will go live on November 9 at www.sickkidsfoundation.com/together and will feature the 60-second television commercial and patient stories. People who wish to support SickKids can donate by visiting the Together We Will campaign website.

    The Together We Will concept, creative and digital development was handled by JWT and media planning and buying was handled by Maxus. Partners Film produced the television spots, directed by Kathi Prosser, and photography for the print campaign was done by award winning photographer and filmmaker Mark Zibert.

  • Start Up Agency Fabula Creates New Work For William Hill

    Start Up Agency Fabula Creates New Work For William Hill

    William Hill begins 2013 with a humorous campaign created by start-up agency Fabula. The TV and print campaign is Fabula's first work for the UK's biggest bookmaker since winning the account in October 2012.

    The strategy is new and created in collaboration with The London Strategy Unit. It brings to life the fact that as the UK's biggest and most trusted bookmaker — William Hill people are full of passion and knowledge of the subject and betting.

    The TV campaign consists of a series of ads depicting what it might be like inside William Hill, the Home of Betting. The films give an insight into how dedicated and knowledgeable William Hill is about all sport and betting. Two ads primarily focus on football and horse racing, followed by four ads that push particular offers.

    Three main characters feature in the ads – a manager, a trader, and a ‘mobile’/tech expert. The characters and colleagues are as passionate about sport as the viewers and suggest they “unleash your mobiles” and “fire up your ipads”, encouraging betting fans to download the William Hill app and bet online. A horse that finds its way into the office even has its name – “Download the app” – emblazoned across its horse blanket.

    Each film ends with new William Hill strapline “You know where to come. William Hill, the Home of Betting”. The spots were directed by Peter Lydon, of production company 76 Ltd.

    Says Yan Elliott and Luke Williamson, Fabula founders: “We are very excited to have created this new campaign for William Hill. Since winning the business less than three months ago we have created a series of seven ads straight out of the traps!”

    Kristof Fahy, CMO, William Hill plc, adds: “I have always admired the work of Yan and Luke and with this campaign they continue to show the talent that they have. They quickly understood that it's the people and our passion that makes William Hill the UK's number one and have brought that to life through the new campaign.”

  • Scion FR-S "Bringing the Sport Back to the Car" TV Commercial

    Scion and global creative agency ATTIK are literally putting the pedal to the metal in the youth-focused automotive brand's national cross-media launch campaign for the all-new, 200hp, rear-wheel drive 2013 Scion FR-S sports coupe. Today, the brand and agency executives are very proud to detail their new "Driving is Back" campaign, which is currently debuting numerous advertising placements across the country. "Scion is extremely excited about the launch of the FR-S," said Jack Hollis, Vice President, Scion. "The rear-wheel drive sports car is the brand's halo car that pound-for-pound and dollar-for-dollar, is igniting the passions of a whole new group of driving enthusiasts.

    Together with our partners at ATTIK, we are absolutely thrilled to kick-off the campaign inviting everyone to rediscover the fun of driving with the FR-S." "In this campaign, the radical new FR-S itself is first and foremost," began ATTIK co-founder and executive creative director Simon Needham. "To us, there are very few exciting cars out there that are also practical on some level… and the FR-S gets great gas mileage while maximizing performance. So naturally, our campaign demonstrates the power and handling of this amazing car – most often in the hands of drifting champ and renowned racing driver Ken Gushi, who drove the car in many of the exciting driving scenes. Across every campaign facet, our overall goals are to excite, inspire, drive people to explore the FR-S online and get them into dealerships and behind the wheel." The "Driving is Back" campaign was conceived by ATTIK's creative director Ron Lim, art director Mike Cornell and copywriter Andy Sciamanna, and its out-of-home elements are now live in 40 locations in 26 major U.S. markets.
    Today, the first of three: 30 spots will break… not only on young adult-targeted cable outlets where viewers are accustomed to seeing Scion ads, but also via NBCU syndication, and on NBC, Fox and every major sports network. First comes "Bringing the Sport Back to the Car," which will begin and end a three-month TV buy. Different campaign spots will appear between June 25 and August 5, and more video ads (all commercials and videos were directed by Needham) will run on the brand's social media channels and website well into September. In print, the first spreads will begin to appear mid-June in Sports Illustrated, Maxim, Motor Trend, and Men's Journal, among many others. Banner placements are also blanketing most standard and some new targets for the brand starting today. "Since the FR-S is Scion's biggest push into the sport coupe market yet, we wanted to extend our reach beyond our typical media channels," Lim explained. "This car already has a lot of buzz around it, and we are aiming to build on that excitement. Of course, television is still a powerful mass medium. We also chose mainstream automotive pubs for the first time. Our campaign is much heavier in details than usual as well. We're psyched about our specs and so are the automotive tastemakers; it was important to reach enthusiasts this time out. Andy and Mike really sold the experience of driving the FR-S." Lim also shared insights into some of the more innovative media tactics the campaign will introduce in July. "We're also using smartphone apps to invite readers to watch the FR-S in action through Digimarc codes embedded in the print. Using their smart phones, consumers will be able to peek under the hood of the FR-S and see it in action. This is a great way to feature the very emotional driving experience within a static print ad." According to Lim, Scion and ATTIK chose Digimarc technology due to its successful integration with the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue earlier this year, citing its track record, its powerful security features, and its ability to seamlessly present video as part of the agency's print ad, which is entitled Video Test Drive. That ad is scheduled to run in the July 9 issue of Sports Illustrated. Finally, Scion's and ATTIK's executives are also putting the finishing touches on a powerful iAd that will appear in targeted apps for the iPhone and iPad and allow viewers to view videos and explore more features of the FR-S in amazing detail.
    The brand and agency once again have many leading technology, creative, production and post-production partners to thank for their campaign contributions. Among those are commercial production company Blueyed Pictures, editorial company Lost Planet, CGI/VFX company Brewster Parsons, and music company Squeak E. Clean Productions. For ATTIK, additional credits include senior broadcast producer Patty Lum and senior account manager Michelle O'Hea, to name but a few.

    DDB Canada launches arresting campaign for the Vancouver Police Foundation

    Vancouver, August 6, 2013 — Recently, the Vancouver Police Foundation launched its first communications campaign aimed to increase awareness and garner support for the charitable organization. The Vancouver Police Foundation provides funding for emerging technology and innovative ideas as well as a wide range of community policing and youth-at-risk outreach programs not included in the police department’s annual operating budget.

    Developed by DDB Canada’s Vancouver office, the goal of the integrated campaign is to raise awareness for the Vancouver Police Foundation and better connect the public to the police via a line of iconic, mirrored aviator sunglasses. These sunglasses not only serve as a visual symbol of support that Vancouverites can wear proudly, but they also play a central role to all of the creative aspects within this campaign.

    “The iconic sunglasses pay homage to a signature look inherently tied to police and act as a badge of support that buyers can wear,” says Cosmo Campbell, executive creative director, DDB Canada. “This becomes an opportunity and conversation piece for Vancouverites to demonstrate their support for the police and look good doing it.”

    The sunglasses play a primary role in two 30-second television spots, titled “Hoodslide” and “Deflated,” which kicks off the campaign and aims to drive sales of the sunglasses. Taking a humourous twist to popular TV police dramas, both spots drive viewers to buy the sunglasses in support of the Vancouver Police Foundation and visit the website to find out more about the organization and how proceeds benefit the community.

    “In the short term, the goal of the campaign is simply to raise awareness for the Vancouver Police Foundation and show support for the VPD by wearing the sunglasses,” says Martina Meckova, executive director, Vancouver Police Foundation. “Our long term objective is to increase the membership of the Foundation and broaden the support base, so that more people in Vancouver can benefit from the work that we do in the community.”

    A social media contest coincides with the campaign launch and invites people to submit photos of themselves wearing the sunglasses, along with the hashtag #VPDPartners for a chance to win a unique Ride-Along police experience. Symbolizing the solidarity between the people of the city and the Vancouver Police Department, the photos from the contest will be aggregated on the Department’s website as a visual tribute to the police officers.

    “Initially, we asked DDB to assist us with some print ads to promote the Vancouver Police Foundation in a local paper,” says Peter Brown, chair, Vancouver Police Foundation. “The agency returned with an impactful campaign strategy that lends itself successfully across various mediums, allowing us to build a stronger relationship with the public.”

    Print, OOH, television, social, digital, public relations and an on-air partnership with Global TV BC round out this integrated PSA campaign. The campaign was created pro bono by DDB Canada with generous support from the following production partners: Clinton Hussey for Photography, OPC // Family Style’s Director Jeff Low for the TV work, Post Pro Media for post-production services, Sean Milliken for talent casting, Wave Productions for audio services and Coastal Contacts for facilitating the production of the sunglasses.

    The campaign also received help from DDB Canada’s media agency partner, OMD, who offered free services by arranging a combination of donated and discounted PSA buys with BC Business, Bell Media, CBS Outdoor, and Global TV, Postmedia, TV Week and Western Media Group.

    The iconic, mirrored aviator sunglasses will be distributed by the police at community events, including Vancouver’s Fresh Air Outdoor Cinema, and are available for purchase starting August 1 from the Vancouver Police Foundation website for $20 each.

    “The partnership between the community and police is fundamental to crime prevention and reduction efforts,” Brown adds. “It is through the Foundation that the citizens of Vancouver can support essential policing programs that may be beyond the immediate city budget capability, raise awareness of the outstanding contributions the VPD makes 24/7, and become partners in policing so together we can build stronger communities and make Vancouver the safest major city in Canada.”

  • Brooke Shields "Shut Up" La-Z Boy Commercials

    Brooke Shields "Shut Up" La-Z Boy Commercials

    To commemorate La-Z-Boy's 85th anniversary, the campaign includes a TV commercial promoting a national sales event. "We're excited about this promotional spot and feel it's the perfect time to invite customers to come see our collection of customizable home furnishings, including sofas, sectionals, ottomans and more," said Doug Collier, Chief Marketing Officer and President International at La-Z-Boy. "The anniversary commercial celebrates our 85-year history by having a little fun with Brooke and poking some fun at ourselves, while showing our beautiful and unexpected home furnishings."

    La-Z-Boy's agency of record, RPA, teamed with @radical.media Director Dave Meyers to create four TV commercials, a pair of online videos, four national print ads and other digital content.

    The first TV commercial, which started airing in early August, "Big Deal/Anniversary Sale," opens on Shields in the midst of an elegantly decorated living room, calmly discussing La-Z-Boy's 85th anniversary sale. "Eighty-five years, that's a really big deal," she says. "They don't need some loud ad that screams 'sale!'- just me telling you about the great deals on gorgeous furniture." Just then, horns trumpet, balloons drop from the ceiling and a nine-foot tall flashing sign lit up with "85th Anniversary Sale" slides across the set. "Guys, I thought we weren't doing this?" Shields asks with a confused yet playful and cheeky tone.

    "For a household name, Brooke maintains a down-to-earth, relatable persona that's genuinely approachable," said RPA CD Jules Fox. "The situational humor used in the campaign plays on Brooke's lighthearted personality and appeals to the sensibilities of our target audience."

    "Shut Up" introduces an incredulous neighbor who yells "Shut up!" and punches Shields every time she learns that a new piece of furniture came from La-Z-Boy, inspiring the spooked spokeswoman to begin replying to her inquiries via text message from a safe location. Late 2012, the TV campaign continues with "Elephant," which demonstrates the advantages of previewing purchases with La-Z-Boy's online customization tool and stars a life-sized computer-generated elephant, and later "Neighbor" will air featuring a binocular-wielding snoop who cannot fathom the beautiful living room is all made by La-Z-Boy.

    The TV commercials will run on more than 30 cable networks in the U.S. and Canada, including HGTV, Food Network, Lifetime, Oxygen and USA. Two online videos, a Q&A with Shields where the actress talks openly about working with La-Z-Boy and a flipbook, which rapidly cascades through La-Z-Boy-designed rooms, will live on http://www.la-z-boy.com/. Print will appear in a variety of publications such as "Better Homes & Gardens," "Country Living" and "Martha Stewart Living" and online units will run as pre-roll or banners.

    "Tame The Beast" | Wild Print Campaign Will Clean Up All You Hairy Men

    A series of stylish and amusing print ads for high-end shave shop Barber will be appearing in washrooms across Amsterdam from today. Each of the four posters in the range, created by ad agency 180 Amsterdam, depicts one of the wildest beasts on earth – the bear, the hippo, the caribou and the buffalo – sporting elaborately refined facial hair, with the strap line ‘TAME THE BEAST’.

    Facial hair may be all the rage, but if it gets out of hand you can end up looking like a wild animal. A trip to Barber keeps the wildness at bay with a premium shave experience. If they can tame the untameable, just imagine what they can do for a regular man. Petra Van Room, Owner of Barber, says: “The 180 campaign really reflects what we wanted to communicate with our concept.”

    Executive Creative Director for 180 Amsterdam, Al Moseley, adds: “This is a campaign that says male grooming isn't just for Derek Zoolander, but for the ordinary man on the street. Its insight draws on the fact that inside every male, there is a hairy, unkempt, animal clawing to get out. And that's a beast that needs taming".

  • A Collection Vintage Dickies Menswear Print Ads

    A Collection Vintage Dickies Menswear Print Ads

    Nuggets of Nostalgia: DickiesStore Discovers Marketing Material from Decades Ago Having recently happened upon an archive of advertising artefacts, DickiesStore is happy to release a wealth of ad campaigns from as far back as the 1930s. This treasure trove of relics has got many retrophiles revelling in the rich history of this couture-centric print media that has been unearthed.
    Although the sentiment and commitment to designing top quality workwear and fashion forward casual wear has remained consistent throughout Dickies’ history, these newly discovered gems clearly trace the ebb and flow of advertising and marketing methods over the past 90 years.
    The Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing Company faced challenging times in its early years, as the Great Depression was crippling the US economy. But as sturdy and tough as the workwear they were designing, the company weathered the storm and set a benchmark in the industry, marketing themselves as the all-American clothing brand.
    As the 50s came around a great emphasis was placed on Dickies being the premium retailer of attire for the “man of production”. On a societal level times have changed dramatically since then but at that point [see image 2] advertising clearly addressed the fact that Dickies manufactured workwear that was easy wearing, easy looking and easy to maintain.
    Dickies advertising of the 1960s shifted focus somewhat, catering towards the cool kids on campus. The brand identified that scholars wanted to look good and feel comfortable both in and out of class.
    As they introduced imagery of motorcycles and sports cars, the marketing material from the late sixties that DickiesStore recently uncovered clearly spoke to an audience who led a care-free but fashion conscious lifestyle.
    In the late 70s and 80s the Dickies brand broke through with a range of funky apparel that really identified with the pop generation. Dickies exemplified what it meant to be hip, cool and colourful. This sense of fun went hand-in-hand with their continuous pursuit of producing durable and comfortable clothing. Dickies also began more powerfully introducing their iconic logo — the horseshoe – into their campaigns and although it represents a solid, reliable product, when it comes to the manufacturing of top quality workwear, Dickies isn’t in need of any extra luck. via: DickiesStore Blog.

    bebe, “The Best Part of the Day is the Night” Ad Campaign is Sizzling #be9to5

    Fashion brand Bebe’s “The Best Part of the Day is the Night” ads rolling out now nationwide in print and online, add to a high-energy, multiple touchpoint marketing campaign introducing consumers to a new Bebe.

    Created by New York City – based advertising agency JWalk (www.jwalkny.com), this newest national creative campaign will be seen in fashion books including Glamour, Elle and Cosmopolitan; online, with high-impact digital homepage roadblocks on sites including Instyle.com. Other components include mobile ads, video ads in taxis – even branded t-shirts, printed with campaign slogans (“good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere”).

    The branded rollout follows a month-long, unbranded mystery hash tag teaser campaign, #be9to5, that introduced girls to the idea of the real 9 to 5 – 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. – and got people talking about who or what was behind it. Unbranded ads on billboards, bus stops and beer coasters with provocative lines like, “he was a good idea at the time” generated excitement; copy directed viewers to an unbranded microsite, http://www.be9to5.com/. As buzz built around the hashtag, among fashion bloggers and followers, and speculation grew about who or what was behind it, Bebe earned some much needed 9 million impressions, 120 percent above projections, a renewed cultural cachet and a ton of social engagement.

    Early stages of the branded phase are showing similar momentum. The campaign has generated over 6 million impressions on Twitter and Instagram. Moreover social engagement is translating into sales increases. One example: over 1,000 t-shirts, carrying the messages "Good Girls Go to Heaven" in white and "The Best Part of the Day Is the Night" in black, sold out in one week — a 250% increase over typical t-shirt sales of 200 in a week.

  • Gay Las Vegas Print Ads Make Straight Couples Look Goofy

    Gay Las Vegas Print Ads Make Straight Couples Look Goofy

    Everyone's welcome, even straight people. Yup, this is a new print ad campaign from ad agency R&R Partners for Las Vegas Convention And Visitors Authority.

    LGBT advertising is nothing new. It’s been here for decades. For too long, brands have told us they’re “gay-friendly,” shown us a gratuitous same-sex couple, slapped a rainbow logo on it and called it a day. Las Vegas decided to do something different. To imagine a world where – every once in a while – we have to remind the heteros that Las Vegas still belongs to them, too…so long as they’re willing to share.

  • OREO Cookies — Made in Sheffield

    OREO Cookies — Made in Sheffield

    To celebrate the opening of the first factory manufacturing OREO in the UK, Draftfcb London have put together a print campaign honoring Sheffield’s unique heritage.
    Inspired by OREO’s recent Daily Twist campaign commemorating the cookie’s 100th Anniversary, the new print ads feature local legends with classic Northern tongue-in-cheek humour.“Mondelez are very excited to bring OREO to Sheffield. We’re thrilled to be producing our iconic biscuits in an iconic city with a rich industrial history,” said Toby Bevans, senior brand manager for OREO.
    OREO encourages their new neighbors to rejoice in the arrival of the black and white treat by tapping into the sporting prowess of Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United football clubs. The ad will feature in local press and 60 different sites across the city.
    The campaign also includes two additional executions of the creative concept which are being used to feed excitement internally. One continues the sporting theme alluding to the home of World Snooker, The Crucible. The other gives a nod to one of Yorkshire’s most famous film plots in the form of four cheeky cookies in a state of undress, promising to go the Full Monty.
    Steven Bennett-Day commented, “Given the city’s fertile cultural background it was easy for us to find different executions celebrating OREO Made in Sheffield using the popular Daily Twist concept, which presented a whimsical humorous and eye-catching campaign to celebrate OREO’s anniversary last year.”
    The official opening ceremony for the new home of OREO took place on May 10th and was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, and David Blunkett, MP for Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough. The campaign will run from 20th May through 2nd June.

  • "cärpe-díem mañana -The Hilfigers" | Tommy Hilfiger Multi-Media Ad Campaign

    "cärpe-díem mañana -The Hilfigers" | Tommy Hilfiger Multi-Media Ad Campaign

    The Tommy Hilfiger Group, which is wholly owned by PVH Corp. (NYSE: PVH), announces its Fall 2013 global advertising campaign, cärpe-díem mañana, featuring The Hilfigers – the beloved all-American family at the heart of the brand’s marketing strategy. The new campaign finds Chloe setting off for college, and when one of the The Hilfigers’ youngest moves on campus to start her first year, the whole group of eclectic characters tags along to help her settle in. The campus is teeming with new faces as several new characters join the family shenanigans.

    Now in its seventh season, The Hilfigers campaign remains the ultimate personification of the preppy heritage and irreverent spirit of the Tommy Hilfiger brand. The campaign is photographed by Craig McDean, styled by Karl Templer and creatively directed by Trey Laird of Laird + Partners.

    “Collegiate traditions and the preppy, Ivy League look were some of my earliest design inspirations and the starting point for our signature style,” said Tommy Hilfiger. “It was exciting to shoot this campaign at a location that embodies our brand heritage. There’s no better setting to highlight the collegiate prep inspirations, British sartorial influences and rich Anglo fabrics of the Fall 2013 runway collections.”

    For Fall 2013, a select group of bloggers were invited to the campaign shoot where they were given behind the scenes access to the collection and Fall 2013 shoot. The bloggers were styled in looks from the collection before they were photographed alongside The Hilfigers, integrating these bloggers into the campaign experience and allowing them to develop exclusive content for their websites and social media channels. The bloggers announced the campaign to their global audiences just days before the images broke in September books.

    Adding a new layer to the seasonal campaign, Lisa Birnbach, author of the The Official Preppy Handbook, created spirited, individualized head-to-toe descriptions for each character’s unique style that play on brand’s preppy-with-a-twist heritage. The quintessential cast of college characters includes the “Natty Professor,” the “A-Student,” the “Bookworm,” the “Ice Queen,” the “Après Dude,” the “Professional Student,” the “Social Chair,” the “Field Tripper,” the “Alum Prez,” the “Teacher’s Pet” and the “All American.” The head-to-toe images, accompanied by Lisa’s playful depictions, will be included in multi-page inserts in select September books, outdoor advertising and on tommy.com.

    “Lisa Birnbach is a true prep connoisseur and the perfect person to characterize The Hilfigers’ unique prep style,” said Tommy Hilfiger. “I’ve loved working with Lisa throughout the years and we are excited to have her prep expertise included in this campaign season.”

    “The Hilfigers continue to personify the global creative vision for the brand,” said Avery Baker, Chief Marketing Officer for The Tommy Hilfiger Group. “This season we’re incorporating new content elements that celebrate the brand’s history of infusing an unexpected twist to preppy tradition. Lisa Birnbach’s playful depictions of the family’s iconic prep style add further emphasis to the youthful irreverence that has long been at the heart of the Tommy Hilfiger brand, while our global blogger partnerships celebrate the increasingly international outlook of preppy style in a way only Tommy Hilfiger has achieved. The Hilfigers campaign resonates globally with our consumers now more than ever and we are excited to continue bringing fans of the brand engaging, shoppable content each season.”

    Photographed in a preppy, collegiate setting with hair by Eugene Souleiman, and makeup by Mark Carrasquillo, the campaign features a similar cast of eclectic characters from past campaigns: Jacquelyn Jablonski, Bernard Fouquet, Chloe Blackshire, Arthur Kulkov, Julia Hafstrom, Lea Sorensen, Toni Garrn, Thomas Gledhill, Kim D, Sacha M'Baye, Tidiou M'Baye, Viggo Jonasson, Jourdan Dunn, Tian Yi and two Basset Hounds named Morgan IV and V. New additions to the family this season include Sasha Luss, Cora Emmanuel, Katya Riabinkina, Benjamin Eidem, RJ King and Marlon Teixeira.

    “The heart of The Hilfigers campaigns is all about storytelling, and this season we really tried to take it to the next level,” said Trey Laird, Laird + Partners Chief Executive and Creative Officer. “With Chloe headed off to college, the whole clan descended on campus en masse! The university setting provided the ideal backdrop for not only that perfect fall collegiate feeling, but also new characters to bring it all to life.”

    Cärpe-díem mañana will break worldwide Fall 2013 as a multi-media program with an online, print, outdoor and social media presence. The advertising campaign will break in September 2013 issues starting July 23 with full print ads running globally in key fashion publications such as Vanity Fair, Vogue, InStyle, ELLE, Glamour, GQ, Men’s Health and Esquire; multi-page inserts will be featured in select issues. New York City; key European cities such as London, Paris and Milan; and top districts in Hong Kong will have outdoor campaigns. Tommy.com and the brand’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube channels will feature the campaign images and video. For European consumers, a new feature on tommy.com will allow fans of the brand to seamlessly shop and discover the iconic Tommy Hilfiger products, collaborations and new collections.
