Brave girls uniteRedefining a classic brand for a modern audience.

Background

Keds sought to become a brand known for championing confidence and creating strength in young women, to build a social media community focused on showcasing “brave acts,” and to rethink how to leverage a stagnant partnership with Taylor Swift (and a previously planned photoshoot happening in only 6 weeks).

Core Capabilities

  • Audience research and insight
  • Go-to-market strategy
  • Customer journey and experience design
  • Branded content development
  • B2C campaign development

How it started:

Keds tapped Drumroll as their agency partner to reinvigorate their brand and re-establish relevancy with their target audience. We began by taking a deep dive into our rapidly evolving audience to understand their passions, fears and how what they chose to wear effects the way they feel about themselves.

What we did:

We created a holistic brand campaign platform and product launch experience, featuring Taylor Swift, that spanned the entire customer journey – from media and branded content to product integration and partnerships – showcasing the new product line and reflecting Ked’s commitment to supporting and building confidence in young women at every step of the journey.
