Sydney, Australia – Data, creative and performance marketing agency Jaywing has been appointed by sports footwear and apparel brand New Balance to drive customer growth across Australia and New Zealand. 

As part of the mandate, Jaywing will be managing New Balance’s paid search, social, analytics and email, as well as provide creative support for the brand’s extensive range of sneakers and sports clothing.

New Balance said that Jaywing was selected for its audience and creative first approach to paid media and the better use of data to provide more strategic insights across digital channels. 

“With ambitious growth goals, we wanted a digital marketing partner that has a strong strategic focus backed with a deep understanding of audience and data. Jaywing presented us with clear opportunities on how to achieve our targets and we are closely culturally aligned. We look forward to working with them to drive our e-commerce plans,” said Jonathan Clark, international retail director of New Balance. 

Meanwhile, Raimundo Campbell, commercial director of Jaywing and Frank Digital, commented, “We are delighted to welcome New Balance to Jaywing’s portfolio of leading global e-commerce brands. It’s a recognition of the depth of talent and breadth of expertise we have in the agency that we continue to attract major Australian and international brands to Jaywing, and we’re looking forward to delivering on New Balance’s ambitious performance media plans.”

The recent client win follows the integration of Jaywing and user experience agency Frank Digital earlier this year with a unified leadership structure under CEO Tom Geekie and head of digital strategy Ed Raine.

Massachusetts, USA – Global athletic wear brand New Balance has released its new global campaign called ‘We Got Now’ which focuses on highlighting the joys of each one’s craft in everyday moments.

Conceptualised and produced alongside VMLY&R, the campaign features NBA Champion Kawhi Leonard, singer-songwriter IU, English football players Raheem Sterling and Bukayo Saka and New Balance’s newest ambassador, Grammy-nominated artist Jack Harlow. It features a series of three vignettes, one highlighting Harlow and Leonard, the second showcasing Sterling and Saka, and the last focusing on IU, which symbolises the faces that are shaping the ‘now’ in the worlds of sport and culture.

“New Balance is a firm believer in the power of now, and ‘We Got Now’ is a rallying cry for a global generation to fearlessly redefine themselves in pursuit of their passions. Now is the time to energise culture and create positive action, without waiting for permission. Through its relationships with athletes and ambassadors who aren’t afraid to change the game, challenge the system, and encourage others to do the same, New Balance strives to empower everyone to live life on their own terms, always in the now,” the company said in a press statement.

Meanwhile, Chris Davis, CMO and senior vice president of merchandising at New Balance, commented, “Through the continuation of our ‘We Got Now’ campaign, New Balance is challenging our ambassadors, athletes, and fans to come together in fun and meaningful ways. When we allow ourselves the freedom to play in settings authentic to ourselves, there’s a liberating energy that comes from moving our bodies, showing off our skills, and doing something – whatever it may be – that we truly love.”

The campaign goes live globally on NewBalance.com and on New Balance’s social media channels, as well as media placements throughout 2022.
