Odlo // Trust Your Ritual

A pitch that won the hearts of Odlo and their customers alike. Odlo wanted to create awareness around their new concept, ‘The Art of Layering’ and drive awareness and engagement within Switzerland about this concept using their brand new Fall/Winter Collection as the hero.

The Strategy

Training is not only something you do everytime you exercise or compete. It’s a Ritual you trust in and live by.

With Odlo you are perfectly prepared for any kind of sport whether it rains, hails, or snows, or if it’s hot, cold or humid - whatever the situation, Odlo equipment always offers the right solution ensuring the perfect body climate. Thus, you are always prepared. Behind this thinking lies the three-layer principle "The Art of Layering", as originally developed by Odlo.

Concept

Every athlete has a ritual!

Getting dressed for sport is part of an athlete’s mental «warm-up». It generates mental focus, confidence, getting into the mindset of training or competition. It’s a Ritual, one that connects Odlo clothing to an existing human truth.The Ritual creates an emotional connection between Odlo and athlete. We have an opportunity to capital on this ritual and and brand from.

Implementation:
The X Channel Campaign

We launched the campaign with an extremely strong set of fresh, dynamic imagery. The high fashion yet sporty look & feel was pivotal in giving the campaign a modern appeal to the target audience. 

Implementation: 
Online Film & Fashion Shoot 

This incredibly shot imagery, coupled with a online commercial gave us the platform with which to launch a social media campaign, full of content and providing the base for digital engagement on their main social media channels, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.   

Implementation: Campaign Microsite

The Campaign came with a microsite & social hub. The main aim of the microsite was to create awareness around the digital campaign. To educate the customer base on what Odlo’s concept ‘The Art Of Layering' meant in practise and finally drive sales in the online store.
