Challenge	Reebok's MYT collection was designed to blend lifestyle and fitness culture, aiming to be more inclusive and affordable. The challenge was to build a Western European-focused campaign that would articulate these key propositions and establish a cultural connection between MYT and consumers.

The campaign also needed to break through outdated paradigms and deliver a positive message to the standard-breaking women of Western Europe. Read More

These women were encouraged to style themselves during the shoots. The campaign was executed across print, OOH, retail, digital, and social platforms. The women were depicted breaking through the barriers of a 35mm film strip, symbolizing how the apparel and their attitudes couldn't be contained by outdated paradigms. The result was an authentic depiction of city-specific style and sentiment that drove sales and delivered a positive message. Read More Log in to view content
