Carol Yang, Vice President of Marketing said: "We were looking for a partner who can help us create a distinctive voice for Timberland to forge a strong emotional connection with our consumers." Jeff Swartz, President and CEO of Timberland added: "It’s time for us to make some very bold statements with our marketing and the team at Leagas Delaney hit a home run in that department."
Tim Delaney, Chairman of Leagas Delaney, said: "Timberland is a very powerful brand. The global outdoor market is becoming more dynamic and the changing media landscape allows us to engage with the Timberland consumer globally and in a much deeper and more engaging way."
Timberland saw presentations last week from four undisclosed agencies. To ensure a complete industry perspective, the company used a consultant to develop an initial list of agencies and from there, the selection process was managed internally. The campaign is expected to launch this Fall.
Timberland plans to increase its advertising spending behind this campaign across key markets including US, UK, Italy, Germany, France, China and Japan.
