GET YOUR DANCE MOVES ON
This year's Anniversary marketing campaign is shot in a bright, open art gallery studio, featuring a high-energy, diverse mix of professional dancers and models. The photo and video campaign were directed and photographed by Lacey, who has produced Instagram campaigns and films for Nordstrom partners and global fashion houses.
The style-savvy cast dances to the beat of the 1979 underground funk/disco classic "Get Up" by Vernon Burch – re-worked by DJ Premier who spun at the Nordstrom Men's Store New York City opening last year and has worked with Kanye West, Jay-Z, Christina Aguilera and more. The campaign will be featured on nordstrom.com/anniversary, on the retailer's social platforms, and in the Anniversary Sale catalog. Advertising components include digital, print, audio, out of home, shopping bags, store windows and in-store displays.
GLAM-UP
On Saturday, July 20th, Nordstrom will host an Anniversary Sale Beauty Bash event in all U.S. and Canada stores, featuring access to hundreds of beauty exclusives, complimentary beauty consultations and applications, and a limited-edition Nordstrom tote with a $125 cosmetics purchase. Glam-Up Days are taking place in stores daily throughout the sale where customers can enjoy free samples, gifts with purchase and expert tips from brands including MAC, La Mer, Jo Malone, Dior, Bobbi Brown and Kiehl's.
