FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS: LOVE, NORDSTROM
Following last year's successful 'Love, Nordstrom' holiday campaign, which put the spotlight on customers, the 2017 campaign extends to friends and family and the special ties customers have with Nordstrom and with each other. Nordstrom asked customers to share their family stories which quickly confirmed that families are defined in many different ways, including lifelong friends, girl squads and loving tribes who come together to celebrate the holidays.

The campaign was shot by award-winning film director and fashion photographer Danielle Levitt, whose work focuses on celebrating diversity and inspiring others to feel comfortable with who they are. Levitt has produced original content for a wide range of brands and her dynamic campaigns have been recognized for their ability to capture the untold stories of her subjects and their communities.

"The holidays are about celebrating the relationships and people that are meaningful in our lives," said Nordstrom Chief Marketing Officer Scott Meden. "For Nordstrom, that special relationship is with our customers. With this campaign, we want to celebrate our customers because they make us who we are – and we're grateful to be able to share their family stories." 

Featured Families Include:

• FDNY firefighter Sky Shepard has been shopping at Nordstrom Downtown Seattle since he was a kid, and continues to shop at Nordstrom Rack in Union Square now that he lives in New York City. Nordstrom is honored to serve Sky and his buddies, fellow shoppers and firefighters Edward and Chris who are eagerly awaiting the opening of the Nordstrom Men's store at 57^th and Broadway in NYC in Spring 2018.
• Customer Collene Lynch started shopping with Nordstrom 50 years ago. Her circle of friends (now her sewing circle) includes Lynn, Connie, Eileen and Cleo, who bonded as young mothers when they would shop together for their children's shoes. Collene is also a retired Nordstrom employee.
• Customer Roynerah Clewis has been shopping with Nordstrom since she was a little girl, starting with special outfits for her Santa photos. Today, she shops at Nordstrom to stay stylish throughout the year, especially when she goes out with her girlfriends Phina, Brianna, Shavail and Aiesha.
• Photographer Danielle Levitt also makes an organic appearance, speaking to the campaign shoot and what she loves about people coming together to share their joy and appreciation for one another. Danielle is pictured with her loving crew, including fiancée Harry and producer Stephanie.

The integrated campaign components include digital, print, out of home, in-store window displays, social media, shopping bags and coffee sleeves. There is also a 'Love, Nordstrom' navigation tab on Nordstrom.com to take customers to the full campaign experience. The campaign also includes a series of charming videos where the ad campaign comes to life set to the melody of Ray Charles' song "Ain't That Love." The videos are posted on Nordstrom.com and on the retailer's social and digital platforms.

GIVING BACK. WE GOT YOU WITH GIFTS THAT DO GOOD.
Throughout the year, Nordstrom is focused on giving back to our communities and taking care of the environment. This holiday season, we're encouraging our customers to join us by giving gifts that do good:

• We're continuing one of our favorite holiday traditions – teaming up with our customers to give new shoes to children in need. Through our partnership with New Balance and Shoes That Fit, we're planning to give 25,000 pairs this year. Customers can help by purchasing a $10 giving card at any of our U.S. Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack stores. It's the perfect addition to any stocking, or a thoughtful thank you for your favorite teacher.
• For a gift that looks great and gives back, check out the latest from Treasure & Bond. From festive sweaters to cozy scarves, this Nordstrom-exclusive brand has something for the whole family. And as an added bonus, Nordstrom always donates 2.5% of net sales to nonprofits that empower youth. Through January 2018, we're supporting YWCA.
• Customers can spread maximum cheer with gifts from "do-good brands." We've pulled together just a few of our favorite products HERE that are environmentally friendly and give back. 
• The possibilities are endless when you give the card that gives! Nordstrom donates 1% of all Gift Card sales to charity. Send an eGift Card for instant indulgence, or choose from one of our festive holiday designs. Gift Cards can be found at any Nordstrom store or online at Nordstrom.com/GiftCard.
