Strategy
Under Armour is a rising star in the sports apparel market, but its uber-masculine image and football heritage had become a polarizing barrier to women. Our brief was to connect with 20- to 35-year-old athletic women by establishing Under Armour as a stylish and empowering brand.
We looked at the larger cultural context of women today and found that they are surrounded by constant pressure. But will, a woman’s inner-strength, gives her the power to overcome all. I WILL WHAT I WANT celebrates women who defy expectations and ignore the noise of outside judgments.
I WILL WHAT I WANT celebrates women who defy expectations, using their will to achieve their dreams. To prove I WILL WHAT I WANT, we signed a woman who was sure to be judged, supermodel Gisele Bündchen.
