UGG For Men

UGG Australia is known for a lot of things. Being a brand for men was not one of them. Until they started working with us. We broke records launching the UGG for Men line, and helped the iconic brand achieve near-sellout on new men’s footwear styles as they rolled out throughout the year.

Client: UGG Australia

UGG for Men had an innovative product story to tell with their new spring footwear line. Their Treadlite sole had been designed to deliver the same iconic comfort the brand is famous for, but with the added benefits of lightness, flexibility, durability and grip.

Our job was to make this story relevant — and desirable — to today’s man. We launched our campaign with a video released globally on social media that put the product benefit front and center.

Seasonal Adaptation

The spring launch was so successful that Treadlite was rolled out to a number of other styles. For fall, with sturdy weather boots as our product focus, this meant a new challenge. How do you communicate both lightness and toughness? And even more difficult: how do you position lightness as a desirable benefit for a Men’s weatherproof boot?

We tailored our messaging to four unique product stories for this campaign, including a video montage that took pride of place on social media, the website and in digital media. Created using super slow motion photography, and filmed over the course of several days, the footage truly captured “weatherproof” in a comprehensive and compelling way.
