A new advertising campaign for Spring-Summer 2010 from the Florence based fashion house, Salvatore Ferragamo, will be published in 42 ELLE editions in February, appearing simultaneously in 42 countries.
Launched as a preview of the new Salvatore Ferragamo Spring-Summer 2010 collection, this worldwide advertising campaign was shot by Mario Testino in Monaco, with model Claudia Schiffer.
The whole advertising campaign has been planned for March 2010, with a preview scheduled for release in the 42 international editions of ELLE Magazine in February 2010.
For the first time ever, Salvatore Ferragamo has joined forces with ELLE to create an advertising campaign that will appear simultaneously in the 42 international editions of ELLE.
ELLE is one of the most prestigious media brands in the High End Women’s segment and a global reference for women.
Internationally inspired, but adapted to local markets, ELLE distributes 6 million issues each month, attracting more than 23 million readers. The ELLE network gives a unique insight into the world of Women and is publicly recognised for its quality and style.
“Salvatore Ferragamo is a global brand, with a distribution network that reaches 95 countries worldwide, and it is because of this that we have chosen a unique global initiative of this kind, with a media brand / fashion and lifestyle magazine, which has an opinion and a recognised international spirit as well as an image in perfect synergy with our brand “– says Michele Norsa, CEO of Salvatore Ferragamo Italia Spa–” Planning this advertising campaign in the 42 countries where ELLE is present, has been a complex operation, but thanks to this campaign we are happy to be able to reach more than 20 million readers whose lifestyle make them perfect for our brand”.
“It is the first time that such an important and symbolic brand in the luxury sector as Salvatore Ferragamo, has launched an advertising campaign simultaneously in the 42 editions of ELLE” added Didier Quillot, CEO of Lagardère Active. “This initiative confirms the leadership position of ELLE in the world, in terms of market share. However, what makes us even more proud is that such a prestigious group as Ferragamo has chosen ELLE, which continues to be recognised as one of the main advertising partners in the world.”
