Speedo Serious About Swimming

Overview

Serious About Swimming is a 2020 brand campaign for the regular Speedo consumer. Speedo challenged us to disrupt the market in order to change perception of the speedo brand.

We created a campaign that has a distinctive behaviour and is ownably Speedo. Serious About Swimming is an attitude, a personality, a feeling. It's relatable, supportive and inclusive. Theres a fun tongue in cheek attitude. It's always active with a connection to the water and it inspires you to be yourself, never aspiring to be someone else.

In addition to a brand campaign we were also briefed to create content that connects emotively though speedos key pieces. We brought these products to life by giving them iconic names that embraced the products function embedded in the serious about swimming personality. Each product then had its own social campaign.

The product campaigns feature our most desirable products, showcased in a stylish way to connect emotively with our audience. Each one has an iconic ‘umbrella’ name that eludes to the benefit it brings to the wearer.

Each product contains a suite of assets to bring the campaign to life across all touch points.

Each product had its own social activations. Below are a few examples for the Poolside Power Suit.

Being at one with the water isn’t about the water. It’s about you. It’s setting time aside to reconnect with yourself and just focus on your mind and body. So, whether it’s a serious session or a just quick dip, we should always feel refreshed, relaxed and ready to take on the world after a swim.
