Clarks · AW18

No other school shoes compare.

Clarks needed to prove product expertise without sounding like a spec sheet. A set of playful experiments, one for each product principle.

The brief

Communicate expertise to people who don't want a spec sheet.

The challenge for Clarks' AW18 school campaign was to communicate brand expertise in a way parents and children would actually watch.

What I directed

Experiments, not claims.

The films are playful experiments inspired by kids' infinite wonder and imagination, each one demonstrating how Clarks shoes deliver on a specific product principle. The proof is shown rather than stated.
