SEATTLE, June 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading fashion specialty retailer Nordstrom, Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of its 2018 Anniversary Sale marketing campaign, debuting today in the U.S. and Canada. The company partnered with four fashion-savvy comedians for the one-of-a-kind sale, which takes place from July 20 through August 5.
The full cast includes Liza Koshy, multi-hyphenate entertainer: actress, Double Dare host and star of Liza on Demand; Daniel Levy, writer, producer & Schitt's Creek actor; Phoebe Robinson, 2 Dope Queens comedian, New York Times bestselling author, and actress; and Hannah Simone, New Girl actress. The campaign was shot by Mary Ellen Matthews, who is best known for her portraits of celebrity guests and the cast of Saturday Night Live, as well as videos she has directed for the show since 2010.
This diverse group of individuals love fashion, have a great sense of humor, are passionate about their work, and express their style in a fresh way that Nordstrom believes will appeal to customers.
"Fashion is about having fun and we think we've captured that with this campaign," said Scott Meden, Nordstrom Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. "We believe in the power of personal style and in making customers feel good. We hope customers enjoy the energy and wit our stylish comedian cast bring to the campaign."
The photo and video campaign will be featured on nordstrom.com/anniversarysale, on the retailer's social platforms, and in the Anniversary Sale catalog. Advertising components include digital, print, out of home, shopping bags, store windows and in-store displays. The comedians also filmed short videos promoting the retailer's "Show Us How You #NSALE" sweepstakes, where customers can submit an Anniversary Sale photo or video via social media or online to express their enthusiasm for the sale and win a $500 Nordstrom Gift Card.
