For over 30 years, kate spade new york has been synonymous with gifting and celebrations. This Holiday season, the brand is debuting its 2024 Gift Guide alongside a campaign that brings new meaning to holiday gifting…by shining a light on the real gift in a girl’s life – her best friend. Starring Grammy-nominated Singer/Songwriter, Madison Beer, the new docu-style campaign champions the joys, laughs, and support that only a best friend can bring, kicking off a movement that encourages consumers to celebrate that one person in their lives who deserves a moment to shine.
Madison is joined in the campaign by her own bestie, Lena Fultz, and two influencers, Lilly Russell and Pamela Valdez. But at the heart of this campaign is their chance to turn the spotlight on their best friends - the ones who always show up - making them the real stars and celebrating why they mean so much. The narrative is rooted in the idea that joy comes most from inspiring it in others, and so the cast was invited to nominate a best friend in their lives who does just that. Ahead of the campaign shoot, Madison joins Lilly and Pamela in a surprise video-chat with their friends, with an invitation to join her at the brand’s Holiday shoot. In a heart warming reveal, the final campaign shots are overlaid with the ultimate reason why they were chosen by their friends to be in this campaign alongside Madison.
"This kate spade new york holiday campaign is about celebrating friendships and those special people in our lives who always show up,” shared Madison Beer. “For me, it’s my best friend, Lena. This is a tribute to best friend energy and how we celebrate each other this season.”
"This year's Holiday campaign is a celebration of friendship. And more specifically, a recognition and appreciation of your life’s caring friend: that very special person in our lives who knows how to bring you joy or make you smile," shared Eva Erdmann, CEO and brand president, kate spade new york. "What first drew me to kate spade new york is the brand’s unique ability to connect with its consumer on a very emotional level, and looking forward, we’ll be exploring new ways to engage with a new, younger audience with the same meaningful and emotional connection. This holiday season we took an approach that goes beyond the expected message of gifting, and stretched into recognising that a truly good friend is the best gift of all."
This season, the kate spade new york Deco Chain Shoulder Bag takes centre stage in the Holiday campaign. With a minimalist, sculptural design, Deco is reimagined for Holiday with mixed materials and quilted animations – making it a wearable staple for both every day and special occasions.
