Heart and Hands


Challenge

Given that the brand image of New Balance is relatively young to Chinese consumers, the brand hopes to promote the MIUK & MIUS Series and establish itself as a symbol of new spirit and American brand with history.


Insight and Idea

Considering the characteristic fine craftsmanship of the product line, as well as the pursuit of quality and the identification with craftsmanship of male consumer groups aged between 25 and 45, the whole campaign is themed on “Heart and Hands”.

Planning & Execution


We invited Jonathan Lee to write the script by himself and perform in the video. Meanwhile, Director Zhou Getai, known as a MV master in Taiwan, participated in the video production process. The collaboration between the two masters in their respective fields contributed to the consistency of the theme.


In the video, the scenes of Jonathan Lee working at his guitar with great care and of craftsman focusing on the shoemaking process as if treating a piece of artwork appeared in turns. The clever combination enabled accurate communication of the brand and product information in a skillful manner.


Social media marketing whole-process diversion: Upon release of the video entitled Heart and Hands, there was an upsurge of viewers on various video websites. Afterwards, we carried out diverted promotion on fully socialized media platforms.

Effectiveness / Results

The video was played for over 14,576,580 times on all sorts of video platforms, which immediately provoked crazy reposts in Moments upon its release on WeChat.
