NZ Brand Campaign

Wool Carpet+Rugs

Background

Lucas and Kindred have collaborated with Bremworth for more than five years, reshaping and transforming the brand. The latest transformation milestone for Bremworth is the "Crafted Feels Different" campaign, which firmly establishes wool manufacturers new brand positioning.

The idea

Bremworth Carpet+Rugs are crafted for more than the feel, but the feeling. Living on Bremworth’s NZ Wool Carpets+Rugs creates a multi sensory, personal and abstract experience.

Change is good when you are part of it. This project, made possible by cutting-edge AI technology, features campaign assets developed entirely through generative AI platforms. These AI-driven assets bring fresh energy to the brand, with the potential to extend across its identity. Bremworth's early adoption of AI establishes a first-to-market strategy, positioning the brand to challenge competitors in its category.

Bremworth’s benefit extend beyond just the physical. Their crafted NZ Wool materials evoke a feeling inside your home and within you, emotionally and spiritually. ‘Crafted feels different’ takes the ‘feel’ to another level – elevating Bremworth wool to something else. Instead literal product benefits the campaign celebrates personal experiences connected to living on wool.

The TVC (above)

The grand, cinematic TVC captivates viewers with a visual symphony that mirrors the emotion Bremworth evokes. Traditional filming techniques alone couldn't capture this essence, so AI-driven image and video generation were seamlessly integrated with the creative process. The result is a striking visualization of the intangible feeling, as expressive and innovative as Bremworth itself.

OOH launch (below)

The teaser launch campaign targeted new top-of-funnel customers in the early stages of their consideration. The messaging was deliberately open to interpretation, designed to engage a broad audience and spark interest across diverse demographics.

Ai Campaign assets

All campaign images and videos were generated using AI. We developed AI-generated a curated collection of Ai images that seamlessly extended Bremworth’s existing photographic collection.

Images and video

The Ai interior images defined a bespoke style for Bremworth locations. Ai images were relevant and on trend, images adopted contemporary styling and designer lifestyle art direction. Bremworth Ai locations are architectural and adopt a ‘truth to material’ design approach. Bremworth products are framed and surrounded by other raw premium designer materials

Talent prompts were specifically engineered to resonate with key customer demographics, aligning the campaign with target audiences.

Ai motion

The campaign’s graphics adopted elements from Bremworth’s existing logotype, with the wool line serving as a visual thread linking campaign content. This 3D graphic form can be applied to any image or video, clearly marking the content as Bremworth. Reflecting Bremworth’s focus on wool, the line moves through interiors, interacts with people, travels through landscapes, and connects with Bremworth Carpets and Rugs.

The wool line

Designed for versatility, the wool line can be used across Bremworth’s supply chains, services, materials, and product collections. It not only brands Bremworth’s visuals but also differentiates its products from competitors. These freeform lines offer limitless application potential, in the future the wool line will become a key asset in Bremworth’s brand language.

The results

The "Crafted Feels Different" campaign sets Bremworth apart from typical carpet and rug advertising, which often focuses on practical benefits or end use. Instead, this campaign celebrates the abstract sensory experience of wool, highlighting Bremworth’s commitment to quality natural materials—unlike its competitors.

Generative AI played a key role in campaign development, enabling limitless idea iteration from the concept stage onward. This AI-powered workflow produced a contemporary, "big brand" campaign

Our new AI work flows delivered a ‘big brand’ contemporary campaign. The solution elevates and strategically positions the brand for launch into major western OS markets.
