In 2010, Zales helped launch The Black Keys to fame by licensing their music for a TV spot. Alabama Shakes and Various Cruelties also enjoyed great success after partnering with Zales. This holiday season, after a triumphant return to profitability in May 2013, Zales is highlighting a new set of breakthrough artists in its “Let Love Shine” campaign.
Zales’ 2013 holiday campaign will feature talented artists Lord Huron, Amy Stroup, Kat Edmonson and Shovels and Rope. GSD&M’s creative work pairs these modern breakthrough artists with touching modern love stories, encouraging the audience to “Let Love Shine” and consider Zales when gifting from the heart.
The work is the GSD&M’s first creative execution of the Zales “Let Love Shine” campaign. Anthemic spots entitled “Balloons” and “Paris” headline the campaign and highlight the jeweler’s newly reintroduced “Celebration” bridal collection. Two 30-second and four 15-second promotional spots will run nationwide beginning Nov. 4 and through the month of December. Print and digital work will accompany the TVspots, and the campaign will be supported by YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram efforts.
