7 For All Mankind Debuts Spring 2013 Brand Campaign
called ‘The Beautiful Odyssey’
Directed
and Photographed by Award-Winning Actor, James Franco
The
SS13 campaign is called ‘A Beautiful
Odyssey’ and explores the concept of LOVE & CONNECTIVITY symbolized
through an aspirational white wedding. A white wedding, paired with the sensual
surroundings of a California beach at sunset, provide the inspirational scenery
for the campaign. Over the course
of a day and a night, audiences gain a glimpse into the most intimate and
sacred moments of a couple’s relationship; anything seems possible.
Franco’s creative presence in the
campaign represents his on-going role as a creative force behind the 7 For All
Mankind image and branding. "Love is a beautiful thing. A powerful thing. But there are
different textures to it. There's a range of emotion that goes beyond happiness
alone. People like to pretend that part's not there, but that's the way passion
is. We didn't shy away from that. We went for it-- with a vision of a
California beach wedding." says Franco.
The
SS13 campaign officially launches in February 2013 during New York Fashion Week
with a fresh multi-media approach alongside the print advertising creative. This
season James Franco takes a different direction & has orchestrated a fresh
twist by allowing the audience to determine the fate of the storyline through
an interactive Facebook initiative. Through the month of March, 7 For All Mankind will release three (3) interactive trailers that
coincide with polling questions allowing the viewer to vote for the direction
they want the storyline to go. The outcome is a new Audience Cut edition of A Beautiful Odyssey.
The
SS13 films will be hosted on 3 platforms ;
A
comprehensive social media and digital strategy is aligned to support the three
(3) interactive trailers. The campaign culminates with an exclusive screening of
James Franco’s Director’s Cut on April 25th, 2013 in Los Angeles. A
simultaneous broadcast of the both Audience Cut & Director’s Cut will be
shown simultaneously on the above Facebook pages & www.7forallmankind.cn on April 25th, 2013.
“Following our ground-breaking
multimedia campaigns in SS12 and FW12, this campaign continues to evoke
curiosity and elevate our Brand, its unique story and the California DNA it
represents” said Barry Miguel, President of 7 For
All Mankind. “James has captured our
product innovation, Brand beauty and evolution in a modern and refined
way.”
The
fate of two lovers is in YOUR hands. Uncover their secrets & deepest desire
to choose the path they’ll take. Will their love flourish on the side of
innocence? Or will past experiences bring their fall of paradise?
