Bata Celebrates 130 Years with a new Brand Campaign: "Make Your Way"
LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bata, one of the world’s leading footwear companies, proudly celebrates its 130th anniversary with a new brand campaign named: "Make Your Way." This milestone marks a celebration of Bata’s rich heritage, and an exciting evolution aimed at positioning the brand as one of the top choices worldwide.
A New Era for Bata
The "Make Your Way" campaign reflects Bata’s renewed focus on style, comfort, and affordability, aiming to attract a younger, trend-conscious audience while honouring its strong heritage.
"This campaign is about inspiring self-expression and confidence. At Bata, we make shoes to accompany consumers as they create their own path in life and build their road to the future," says Sandeep Kataria, Global CEO of Bata.
Strategic Vision
The new positioning, "Stylish, comfort-enhanced, affordable shoes for every side of you to make your way" aims to connect with today’s fashion-conscious consumers, to expand Bata customers base and drive further growth. It will be communicated through Bata’s key labels: "Bata", "Bata Comfit," and "Bata Red Label." This strategy positions Bata as the only major high-street footwear Retailer genuinely targeting ‘Every Side of You’ through authentic and heritage-rich in-house brands, covering every aspect of consumer life: dress, leisure and sport.
Global Campaign Rollout
Developed with the agency &Rosàs, the global campaign includes media investments, in-store storytelling, and a redesign of Bata’s e-commerce and social media approach.
Special Initiatives
It will also feature do-good marketing efforts to inspire and support women across various disciplines. Starting in September in Europe, Bata will introduce a special 130th-anniversary edition of women’s ballerinas, supporting women in ballet and dance, fostering participation from diverse backgrounds, and aiding women facing economic challenges. The Ballerinas are a fashionable reinterpretation of the original Batovka, an innovative shoe launched in 1897 by Bata, which embodied the company’s vision about quality & affordability.
