Primark has unveiled its first U.S. brand campaign in a bold move to conquer the American market.
The fashion giant’s new multichannel campaign aims to win over America as the brand pushes towards its goal of 60 U.S. stores, inviting shoppers to ‘Fall in Love’ with the retailer.
Created in collaboration with VCCP, the ‘That’s So Primark’ initiative builds on the brand’s global platform, aiming to introduce Americans to the essence of what it means to be ‘so Primark’.
The campaign centres around two films, ‘Window with a View’ and ‘Fall Again,’ both highlighting Primark’s fashion at the forefront. These spots focus on key clothing items with clear price tags, emphasising the brand’s commitment to affordability.
“Across Europe, Primark is known as the place to shop for people who want to look good and feel good, without breaking the bank,” said Michelle McEttrick, Global Chief Customer Officer at Primark.
“Primark is still relatively unknown in the US, so we want to spread the word to savvy shoppers that they don’t need to sacrifice style if they’re on a budget.
“Whether they’re looking for head-turning statement pieces, or everyday wardrobe essentials, we want to give American consumers the chance to fall in love with their closet over and over again.”
Brett Edgar, CEO at VCCP US, added that Primark represents a shopping experience unlike any other and it’s ‘about time’ more U.S. shoppers got a taste.
“We wanted to show American consumers what the hype is all about across the pond, and that they don’t have to settle during their shopping experience. It’s all about falling in love with the brand and its unique products again and again,” he added.
The campaign will also run across CTV, OTT, digital, social, radio and OOH.
