Dr. martens

​

The brief: Make the iconic footwear brand relevant for Gen Z and young Gen Y consumers who may be encouraged to buy their first pair of Docs.

​

What happened: We literally took the show on the road with Docs, kitting out up-and-coming Melbourne band Porpoise Spit with boots and shoes and getting them to document their very first road trip. This print + digital execution honoured the rock ‘n’ roll heritage of the brand while connecting that spirit to a new generation of Doc devotees. Riffing on the ‘My First Docs’ theme, we also created a highly relatable digital education piece in the frankie TOV – “How to wear in your Docs without maiming yourself” – that still tops search engine results for advice on managing new Doc Martens.
