This campaign was developed for Leo Burnett during my internship over the summer of 2010 as a speculative new business pitch in partnership with a team of 4 other interns. My role: Art Direction and Strategy. [Update:] Interestingly enough, I walked by the Levi's store in the Mall of America the other day, and guess what they're latest campaign is...? They're using the term Water<less>s challenges denim wearers everywhere to not wash their jeans for one whole month in an effort to conserve water and energy.

26. TV & Digital Video
Television, and online film residing on the
Leviʼs Facebook page will run introducing
the idea of No Wash November to spread
the word about upcoming events and how to
participate.
Both television and digital video will feature
the Leviʼs Guy and recently announced
Leviʼs Girl to introduce the idea of No Wash
November.
Together they will introduce the idea of
washing your jeans less to reduce
environmental impact while getting a better
fitting pair of jeans at the same time.

27. Launch Events
During the final two months of October, a team will be traveling to major
cities across the country to promote the launch of No Wash November
and bolster awareness of Leviʼs Care Tag for the World which instructs
Leviʼs owners to wash their jeans in cold water, hang dry, and finally;
donate them at a Goodwill location when they are finished so that
someone else can continue to enjoy the jeans and extend their life span to
reduce environmental impact.
Launch events would feature a large canvas of denim that would travel
from city to city bearing the headline, “No Wash November – I pledge to
not wash my jeans.” Visitors could sign up for No Wash November by
signing their canvas and forming a pact with other participants to forego
washing their denim for the month of November.
Goodwill donation bins for old jeans would be available on site
accompanied by signage indicating that by donating you would receive a
discount on a new pair of Leviʼs Shrink to Fit or Curve iD to start the No
Wash November challenge fresh.
Leviʼs event team members would be present as well as the Leviʼs Guy
and Girl to talk with visitors about No Wash November challenge.
Talking points for team members and signage would include, challenge
details, Shrink to Fit and Curve iD, and discounts for donating or signing
up for the challenge.
