Stella McCartney Sets the Tone: A Paris, London and NYC Luxury Impact Campaign
In September 2024, we partnered with Stella McCartney to deliver a bold, high-visibility Out-of-Home campaign across London, Paris, and New York City – three global fashion capitals and key markets for luxury consumers. The strategy centred around positioning the brand in front of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) through premium placements in high-fashion districts, ensuring the creative work landed with maximum cultural and commercial impact.
A Provocative Creative Statement
Stella McCartney’s message – “It’s about fucking time” – served as the campaign’s driving force. Provocative, unapologetic, and instantly attention-grabbing, the headline sparked widespread conversation and generated press coverage across fashion and culture publications. The combination of bold messaging and strategic media placement allowed the campaign to resonate far beyond its physical footprint.
City-by-City Breakdown
London
To reach affluent shoppers, commuters, and trend-shapers, we deployed a curated mix of:
- Digital 6-Sheet Bus Shelters in luxury retail and fashion districts
- Large-scale window vinyls offering immersive, street-level brand presence
These formats allowed the creative to shine in high footfall areas, capturing both local and international audiences.
Paris
Positioned in the heart of the European fashion world, the Paris activation included:
- Traditional 6-Sheets in prestige neighbourhoods
- Mirrored installations that created a dynamic visual experience and encouraged social engagement
- A standout wallscape at Galeries Lafayette – Boulevard Haussmann, giving the brand unmissable visibility in one of the world’s busiest luxury shopping zones
This combination delivered a layered, high-impact presence across the city’s most influential retail corridors.
New York City
To connect with style-driven New Yorkers and visiting fashion crowds, we secured:
- Digital bus shelters in Manhattan’s premium districts
- Large-format wallscapes strategically positioned to dominate key intersections
These formats maximised dwell time and ensured the creative message was impossible to ignore.
A Global Statement With Measurable Influence
The Stella McCartney campaign stood out not only for its media impact but also for its cultural one. The bold copy, paired with iconic placements across three fashion capitals, reinforced the brand’s commitment to innovation, disruption, and sustainability-led luxury.
This high-impact, multi-city rollout demonstrates how strategic OOH can amplify a provocative message and turn it into a global conversation—precisely what Stella McCartney achieved in September 2024.
