The result of this work is our multi-year strategy that will bring our beloved heritage brand into its next era and to a new audience,” says Fossil Group chief marketing officer Lisa Pillette. “A core element to this journey is a shared value between Fossil and our consumers: the ownership of one’s time. They’re incredibly thoughtful that time is spent with purpose, intentionality and community. Each way in which Fossil is a part of someone’s life – crafting leather goods that get better with age, the intention behind a watch’s intricate details, the methods in which we connect with our audience – is similarly defined by the time and care taken to create lasting products to be alongside them.”

Our brand strategy focuses on product elevation across watches, leather goods and jewelry. This includes a deliberate attention to design, incorporation of premium materials and establishing identifiable signature design elements across categories.”

    The lead spot for the campaign – developed by Mekanism, directed by Bradley & Pablo of Prettybird Productions and lensed by Tim Barber—captures the most candid expression of a moment, illustrated with a modern-nostalgic influence. Inclusive of video and image content alongside new copy and graphics direction, Made For This captures the journey of life and joy in the candid moments, while expressing the brand’s sense of wit and optimism.
