After sales declines, Seven For All Mankind has turned around its top line this year and is aiming to spur growth with an ambitious, multimillion-dollar advertising campaign for fall. It will be the first print campaign for the VF Corp.-owned premium denim brand since fall 2008.
The campaign, which was shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott and features models Masha and Julian Schratter, will break in September books, in addition to an outdoor and online component. The media buy comprises 15 titles, including Vogue, W, Vanity Fair, InStyle, Elle, GQ, Details, V and Nylon. The ads also will run in Europe and Asia.
“We’ve had limited budgets [because of the retail environment] over the past year and have been opening stores so quickly that our marketing dollars were focused on that,” said Leilani Augustine, vice president of marketing at Seven For All Mankind, adding that the brand is celebrating its 10th anniversary this fall. “This new campaign is a return to magazines for us, which we think will really help drive traffic to our stores.”
