UGG

THIS IS UGG was a fully integrated multi-channel global brand campaign developed for UGG - a collection of stories that embrace and celebrate the small, but significant moments in our lives. The moments when we share and connect with others. These are actually BIG moments, where real life happens. These are UGG moments. This is what feels like nothing else.

Working closely with the UGG internal team(s) and a network of external agencies to align around the new UGG global brand strategy, we developed, produced and executed a range of stories that focused on emotional connections, authentic relationships, and the luxury of UGG product with real people. The campaign consisted of over 1,047 creative/digital entities and was featured in 12 countries.

THE CHALLENGE:

• Re-define the UGG brand cross category to globally re-ignite brand heat and interest in the brand and its range of category and product offerings.

• Re-engage the current customer and attract new prospects.

• Get above the “Classic Boot” into the material space that UGG owns and define what the product delivers on a physical, functional, and emotional level.

• Bring focus and attention to the men’s category of business and its wide range of new products. UGG started as a men’s after-surf brand lost traction as a result of the meteoric success of the women’s classic boot. 

• Curate and launch a market strategy and position that is authentic, ageless, timeless, and ownable to the brand.

THE SOLUTION:

• Create a new brand position - a statement and sentiment that articulates what it feels like to slip into UGG products.

• Develop a strategic marketing roadmap and global communication strategy reflective of this sentiment.

• Create a separate positioning for the men’s category.

• Create and launch multi-channel global marketing campaigns across all product categories, levering insights, working with internal global teams and multiple advertising

THE RESULTS:

• Introduced a new brand position, FEELS LIKE NOTHING ELSE. It was adopted on a global scale for 7 consecutive years.
