The Ask

In 2019, for their 45th anniversary, LeSportsac wanted to modernize their classic heritage brand for their global campaigns.

What We Did

Grounding the campaign in its ‘on the go’ roots, we took LeSportsac out of the studio for the first time in over a decade. Scrapping the artifice of old-world advertising, we cast individuals as diverse as the brand’s global consumer base, generating their most diverse casting for a brand campaign yet. We leaned into heritage when meaningful, keeping strong color blocking and the iconic bags center stage.

Our Alchemy

We maximize on-set efficiency without killing the creative vibe. Over four days we captured 20 videos,16 campaign stills, and 64 supplemental images in a total of 40+ looks.
