Connor

Aligning brand personality with creative

Connor came to us with a brand personality and image that were somewhat misaligned. The first step in conceptualising and art directing their seasonal campaigns was to redefine a visual interpretation of their personality, and establish new guidelines for photography and styling.

Moving towards a more authentic expression of the ‘Connor man’ was critical to connecting with core customers — everyday guys who are easily intimidated by fashion and shopping for clothes. With a more candid approach to photography and relaxed styling, the brand could now been seen as more relatable and easy going, with a natural, modest and effortless look.

The AW20 campaign comprised stills and motion for both casual and smart collections, to be used in store, in visual merchandising, online and across social channels.

A season of optimism

After the success of the AW20 campaign, our second season with Connor bought with it new opportunities and a new set of challenges. Anticipating our emergence from a Covid-dominated retail landscape, the SS20 campaign required optimism and positivity to re-engage customers and remind them that Summertime was on the horizon.

Creating the campaign during restricted travel conditions meant remote creative meetings, production and art direction. With a nimble, dedicated team and trusted creative crew on the ground, we art directed the Sydney-side campaign from our Melbourne studio.
