"Go Forth": Levi's newly contextualized



It seems as if Levi's , the jeans brand, which so closely with der amerikanischen Geschichte verwoben ist, in der Realität angekommen...

In December 2008, Levi's ditched its old ad agency and signed on with Wieden + Kennedy (the talented ad makers responsible for creating many of Nike's epic , stirring , one-minute anthems). The spots that W+K came up with—this new campaign is labeled "Go Forth"—have been running since the summer in movie theaters and, increasingly, on television. From the moment we see that "America" sign half-sunk in inky water, we know we're watching something new. The campaign inhabits a different universe from the one depicted in "Live Unbuttoned."

basis of the new campaign are poems of American poet Walt Whitman .

And there's logic to this match between a quintessentially American poet and a quintessentially American product. Whitman's verse Allows Levi's to evoke not only its proud history but a forward-looking present-the pioneering American mindset that Whitman captured and that Levi's hopes to embody.
