UNIQLO’s Global Campaign for "Sports Utility Wear"

"Sports Utility Wear" is suitable not only for physical activities but also serve as "convenient clothing" for everyday use. To devise a creative concept that leaves a lasting impression, we initially redefined "Sports Utility Wear" as clothing designed to support individuals with the intent of "living wholesomely." From there, we crafted the copy "Wholesome, Awesome," forming the basis for the current campaign concept. The key visuals used in storefronts, advertisements, and various social media platforms worldwide, aim to convey the wearer's ability to make life comfortable in any situation. These visuals showcase poses and expressions that evoke a forget-the-sweat comfort and an embracing fit, accompanied by carefully crafted copywriting.

The video featuring the staple product of "Sports Utility Wear”—the jogger pants, was deployed in stores and on social media platforms globally. Defined by "Fits Every Single Move," the video highlights the diverse functionality of the jogger pants—high stretchability which allows for easy movement, freedom from stickiness, and overall comfort in any scenario. The narrative unfolds seamlessly, depicting men and women wearing jogger pants comfortably in scenes from both daily life and exercise. The camera work connects the shapes of the models' legs wearing the product, leading the product itself to tell a compelling story.

Incorporating movements that mimic everyday actions, such as jumping, taking photos, and working out, the video features male and female models through the context of a daily lens. While emphasizing the appeal as "daily wear," the video maintains a story design that consistently centers around the product, creating impactful visuals with a unique worldview utilizing CG. Dynamic camera work, coupled with effective use of light and shadow, energetic music, and breath-like sound effects, ensure attention-grabbing designs for cut-down videos used on social media. Addressing the client's request to make Uniqlo's identity instantly recognizable to viewers, the production aligned with Uniqlo's traditional minimalism whilst also imprinting a fresh impression of the product.

To ensure that the creativity aligned with the global nature of the campaign, we assembled an international team from the planning stage to execute the production. This approach aims to create a creative product that not only consciously considers a global audience, but also effortlessly engages in global communication. monopo chose SOS in Belair—a skilled French creative duo specializing in high-quality CGI to lead the direction and art direction. The collaborative effort between monopo and SOS in Belair allowed us to incorporate top-notch CGI from the initial proposal stage, as well as a high level of precision and communication accuracy throughout the production process.
