Setting Sail
Brunch
Creative, 360
May 2025
I led creative for the launch of Brunch's first true boat shoe, built around grippy, functional soles and shot on an actual boat to lean into a classic East Coast sailing aesthetic.
The campaign follows a guy and a girl on the water, marking the first time Brunch built a campaign around a single, visually spectacular moment rather than a quieter lifestyle scene.
The product sold out following launch, and the response confirmed a real insight: our customers respond to spectacle, not just product. That learning led directly to a follow-up event staged on a dock in the Hamptons, bringing the campaign's visual world into a live experience.
