Overview

ClientBriefOrObjective

To elevate and protect the Chuck Taylor line through Converse EMEA’S largest activation for Spring 2011.

Effectiveness

As this campaign went live on April 29, 2011 we will be updating success results in the coming weeks.

Implementation

The activity was founded on two concepts: “a blank Canvas for self-expression” and “independent enough not to follow”. Our solution grew out of the successful Converse Flag, a static physical construction of red, white and blue Chuck Taylor's in the shape of an American flag. The Flag gave us an idea: it’s exciting to turn the shoes themselves into content – but what if instead of one content type we could use them to communicate any engaging experience? The result: The Canvas Shoe Screen – a 4m x 5m screen built of shoes, capable of displaying low-resolution video in real-time.

Relevancy

Converse, with their strongly analogue image, have only become more popular in the digital era, in part because they’ve remained so focused on delivering engaging brand experiences – with a heavy emphasis on music, art and events. There’s something particularly intriguing about taking an analogue object like a Chuck Taylor All Star and turning it into the vehicle for delivering original digital content. By transforming the shoes themselves into a unique, all-new type of Canvas for self-expression we demonstrated once again the independent thinking embodied by the Converse brand.
