UGG Australia Defeats the Seasons In Fall Treadlite Campaign By M&C Saatchi LA

M&C Saatchi LA has launched UGG Australia's new fall campaign, which demonstrates how the brand's innovative Treadlite by UGG lightweight outsole technology helps Defeat the Seasons. Available on weather boots for the first time, Treadlite by UGG features a lightweight, durable, and flexible outsole that delivers remarkable traction and protection that can combat even the worst conditions with ease. The campaign's arresting visuals are dramatic interpretations of the worst kind of winter conditions, with Treadlite by UGG boots catapulted through layers of ice, snow and water.

Earlier this spring, we helped introduce Treadlite by UGG by floating a pair of UGG shoes through downtown LA. When it came time to introduce the fall Treadlite by UGG line, we wanted to create a campaign that hinted at effortless travel, but with the added twist of durability against the elements, explains M&C Saatchi LA Art Director Stephen Reidmiller. Defeat the Seasons was inspired by that combination, with the twist of a practical demonstration. We built a 50 foot-long launcher and actually tossed every single one of these shoes directly through the elements.

The video, directed by Trevor Pearson, was shot with a high-speed camera to capture mesmerizing slow-motion footage of the Treadlite by UGG boots, the Hendren TL and the Hannen TL, floating impact with the elements. Print ads were also created during the shoot and feature the boot's moment of contact, trapped in airborne time. In addition to key online placements, the campaign leverages the video content in new social platforms like EPSN's Snapchat Discover application.

With the combination of Treadlite by UGG and weatherproofing, our UGG for Men customer can comfortably and confidently go about his day regardless of the forecast, says UGG Vice President of Global Marketing Nancy Mamann. Our Defeat The Seasons campaign showcases all the best attributes of the new Hannen TL and Hendren TL boots, which are incredibly lightweight, durable, and made with the highest quality materials to effortlessly tackle the toughest elements of the season.

The social campaign, also directed by Pearson, is a playful extension of the central idea, with boots obliterating the non-weather events that men also need to defeat' over the Holiday season.
