  • CMO Craig Brommers said customers are clamoring for a new chapter in the partnership, with social listening indicating Gen Z customers are ready for a reprieve after a year of political and economic turmoil.
  • The new campaign features a 15-second spot featuring Sweeney in a denim-on-denim outfit asking, What brand am I wearing? before clips flash by showing other summer styles while enjoying the scenery, with the actor stating, Yeah, that one as the spot wraps.
