LIFE’S for living

There’s a sport that’s more popular than football, that has more participants than basketball, and that can be more beneficial than going to the gym. It doesn’t feature in the Olympics, and it doesn’t need medals.

Lotto, the leading Italian company in footwear and clothing for sports and leisure, believes it’s time to embrace the world’s biggest sport; the sport called life. This concept is at the heart of the LIFE’S collectiont, a range of footwear and apparel dedicated to being active wherever you are, by laughing, moving, and loving.

SS2018 campaign with outdoor scenes

The ‘LIFE’S for living’ tagline heads the Spring Summer 2018 campaign that rolls out in Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, Greece and South America. The multi-channel communication plan features across many digital media, includes a dedicated social and digital PR strategy, and also involves the launch of a new online store. Offline there’s strong in-store presence, as well as newspapers and magazines. The photographs were made by the British fashion photographer Steph Wilson.

In Praise Of Writing (And the Case Against AI)

In Praise Of Writing (And the Case Against AI)

If George Orwell, one of the best essayists, were alive today, he’d be firmly against AI. Not because of 1984 or ‘Big Brother’, but because in ‘Why I Write’, he listed four motives for writing; Historical impulse Political purpose Aesthetic enthusiasm Egoism   Neither of these motives survives if you let AI do the writing […]

Secret Listening #6

Secret Listening #6

I know this can be — and should probably be — translated as ‘eavesdropping’, but secret listening captures it better and adds a bit of jest. These little stories or remarks stood out to me, and show a more personal side of China away […]
