6. Market Research Insights
● Lululemon has the distinct value
proposition of spreading a love of yoga
○ This has been a key part of branding since the
brand’s inception
● While prospective customers may see
price as a limitation, loyal customers
appreciate the exclusivity
● In stores, yoga mentions are present, but
not in the men’s section
● No diversity in race or size is present
7. Proposed Campaign Objectives
● Refocus on the unique value proposition by
extending it to the men’s line
● Focus on Lululemon as a luxury and an
investment in the customers’ health
● Include diversity in a meaningful way
8. Campaign 1 - Storytelling
● Lululemon has an expanded their audience as they continue to open
new company-operated stores across the globe
● They focus on community building and in store experience to make
Lululemon more personal and establish consumer loyalty
● While they continue to expand their stores and grow internationally,
storytelling is an appropriate advertising approach to build the feeling
of community with their brand
● Lululemon founder Chip Wilson could be interviewed on his story and
passion that led him to start this brand
● Sharing what Lululemon represents in his eyes and including short
chips of what Lululemon means to consumers brings a personal and
community-like feel to viewers
● Call-to-action: Create a “Storyboard” page on the Lululemon website
and ask Lululemon consumers to add a short story or statement to
the Storyboard sharing what Lululemon means to them. All the
comments will form a collage and update daily as more comments are
submitted
9. Campaign 2 - Self Awareness
● Part of what makes Lululemon so special is the
community customers join when they begin
wearing the brand.
● The community is one of togetherness in the
pursuit of a happy, healthy life, despite the
various differences between everyone in the
Lulu community.
● The idea for this campaign is to show those
different people in the Lululemon community in
their normal walks of life, all with different jobs
and hobbies, pictured side by side wearing
Lululemon, engaging in activities as a fitness
community. Their commonality is at the end of
the day, they all wish to better themselves
through fitness and hard work.
● The campaign would run on TV, preroll, OOH,
and print, with the goal of reaching Lulu’s
younger Gen Z and Millennial demographic.
● This campaign idea does a good job at
showing the diverse audience that is a part of
the Lulu community
● However, this campaign was not selected
because it isn’t motivational enough. It merely
depicts people with a certain lifestyle without
enough draw into that lifestyle.
10. Competitor Campaigns
Sweaty Betty’s
current ad campaign
focuses heavily on
female
empowerment, which
is vastly different
from the male target
audience we seek.
Gymshark focuses
their message on hard
work, but their visual
depicts a bodybuilder,
which is not what we
are going for at all in
our ad.
Nike’s current
campaign relies on
celebrity athletes and
“changing the world”
during the time of the
pandemic. Though a
powerful message, we
know our campaign is
meant to inspire in a
simpler way.
Under Armour’s current
campaign is the most
similar to what we are
going for in our Lulu
campaign. The key
difference with ours is
that there is less of a
focus on high school
athletes and specific
sports.
11. Our Campaign: When Life Gives You
Lululemon
When Life Gives You Lululemon campaign focuses on investing in yourself. The original phrase, “when life
gives you lemons”, encourages you to find something good in the face of adversity. Lululemon knows that
by investing in their brand, you are investing in a new lifestyle and community. Lululemon inspires its
customers to make the best out of everyday, and by wearing Lululemon it is bound to happen. The brand
invites you to join their community to expand a communal group of people all determined to empower
themselves and their well-being. This campaign is meant to focus on the gratification of improving your life
and by wearing Lululemon, you can make it happen.
