Beyoncé and Levi's New Ad Campaign Generates $5 Million in Just 48 Hours

Klaudia//October 5, 2024
Beyoncé and Levi’s officially unveiled their ad campaign on Monday. The collaboration comes after the Grammy-winning singer gave the clothing brand a call-out with her song “Levii’s Jeans” from her eighth studio album “Cowboy Carter,” which released last March.

Beyoncé posted the campaign images to her Instagram account, sharing two placements and amassing $1.3 million in Media Impact Value, according to Launchmetrics. Over a period of 48 hours, the campaign earned $5 million in MIV. (MIV is a proprietary metric that assigns a true monetary value to marketing strategies across print, online and social media in order to calculate ROI.)

The “Reimagine” campaign stars the venerated singer and entertainer in a twist on some of Levi’s most iconic advertisements. The first ad featuring Beyoncé is a call-back to Levi’s 1985 commercial featuring a young man going into a laundromat, stripping off his Levi’s and waiting in his underwear while his jeans go through the washing machine.

Beyoncé Remixes a Classic Levi's Ad in New Campaign

Klaudia//October 1, 2024
Nobody does denim like Beyoncé. The superstar hits the laundromat in a pair of skintight Levi’s 501 jeans for the brand’s “Reiimagine” campaign released on Monday (Sept. 30).

Inspired by “the legacy of Levi’s,” the campaign reimagines the classic 501 jeans as told in a “series of chapters” starring Beyoncé.

“My song ‘Levii’s Jeans’ celebrates what I believe is the ultimate Americana uniform — something we all wear with pride,” Beyoncé said in a statement. “I am honored to work with Levi’s to create quintessential American iconography. Denim-on-denim has often been seen through a male lens, so this reimagining campaign, which celebrates the iconic female perspective, is important to me. I look forward to exploring innovative ways for our visions to align in empowering women and honoring their strength.”

The first chapter, titled “Launderette,” is inspired by a 1985 Levi’s ad. In the commercial, Bey walks into a laundromat wearing ‘90s Women’s 501 Jeans ($98), an essentials Sport T-shirt and a denim cowboy hat. She opens the washing machine, throws in some diamonds — instead of laundry detergent, because she’s a glamorous girlie — before pulling off her jeans (revealing Levi’s undies) and throwing them in the washer. And of course, her Cowboy Carter track “Levii’s Jeans” plays throughout the commercial.

Emmy-winning cinematographer Marcell Rév brought the visual to life, while Levi’s commissioned photographer Mason Poole for the campaign imagery.

Beyoncé’s Levi’s campaign will expand across television, out-of-home advertising, digital, social media, print and brand activations in addition to exclusive products. To kick off the campaign, digital projections launched in San Francisco, Houston, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Paris, London and Berlin on Monday.

“In collaboration with Beyoncé, we explore the power of reimagination through this campaign, helping us to connect with our fans in new ways and supporting the growth of our women’s business as the definitive denim lifestyle brand,” said Levi’s.

Levi's teases upcoming collaboration with Beyoncé

Klaudia//September 24, 2024
Levi’s is getting closer with Beyoncé. The denim mainstay posted a drawing reminiscent of Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” album cover on Instagram Monday morning. While the only text alongside the image of a cowgirl on a horse said, “Introducing: A New Chapter,” clicking on the red and white picture produced a caption that said “beyonce.”

A spokeswoman for the brand declined to elaborate and simply said, “More to come.” Later on Monday, invites went out for a small Paris Fashion Week event with Beyoncé’s stylist Shiona Turini and the brand that will celebrate the opening of Levi’s Haus of Strauss in the City of Light.

Billboards for the new ad campaign have already appeared in Berlin and Paris with the September 30 date for a supposed launch.


Raphael Saadiq discusses his work on Renaissance and Cowboy Carter

Klaudia//September 21, 2024
Raphael Saadiq discusses his work on Beyoncé‘s Renaissance and Cowboy Carter in the new episode of the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast:

The Cowboy Carter single “Texas Hold ‘Em” actually dates back to the Renaissance sessions.
“When any artist is working on a record,” says Saadiq, “you’d have an idea about what you want to work on, but sometimes you don’t know what sort of album you’re going to go with.”

Another Cowboy Carter standout, “Bodyguard,” started as a potential Saadiq solo track.
“That little bass line, it feels like Fleetwood Mac,” says Saadiq. “Because I love those eras of music.” Beyoncé first heard the track when Saadiq was playing her some songs from his Dropbox. “‘Bodyguard’ came up for a second — like the intro — and I went to the next one, and she was like ‘Go back, go back!’ And then what she added vocally was bars up from what I did. She sounded like Reba McEntire, felt like Aretha. She took what I did and completed it.”

Tina Knowles recalls childhood memories of Beyoncé's early acts of kindness

Klaudia//September 21, 2024
Tina Knowles, the mother of global superstar Beyoncé, recently shared a touching memory on Instagram that offers a rare glimpse into the singer's early life and the values instilled in her from a young age. In her post, Knowles recounted an event from when Beyoncé was just seven years old, preparing for a local performance of John Lennon's iconic song "Imagine."

The memory centers around the "Sammy Awards," a Houston talent competition where Beyoncé was set to perform. Her father, Mathew Knowles, wanted her to understand the profound meaning behind "Imagine," a song that dreams of a world united by peace and humanity. He believed that for Beyoncé to truly embody the spirit of the song, she needed to experience firsthand the challenges faced by those less fortunate.

"This brings up very funny memory back to me. Saw it on ig today. Beyonce is seven she's preparing for the Sammy awards. She is going to sing John Lennon "Imagine" her dad wants her to understand the things that are going on in the world and he wants to create behind the scenes images," Tina wrote.


Pharrell Williams Reminisces About Working With Beyoncé and Teases: 'Just Get Ready'

Klaudia//September 21, 2024
Over the past 30+ years Pharrell Williams has written and produced hits for everyone from *NSYNC (and solo smashes for Justin Timberlake) to Usher, Britney Spears, Busta Rhymes, No Doubt, Clipse, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Robin Thicke and many more.

But in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 51-year-old singer/rapper/producer and fashion designer who is the subject of the upcoming genre-busting LEGO biopic Piece By Piece opened up about some of the mega collaborations that got away, as well as one that he suggested he might be revisiting soon.

When Pharrell, who has worked on a number of albums and singles with Beyoncé over the past two decades — including producing her 2002 debut solo single, “Work It Out” — was asked what it’s been like to see the singer evolve from her Destiny’s Child days to now, the response likely made the Beyhive sit up and take notice.

“So happy for her. And I’m so grateful to be a part of her story and her journey and her trajectory,” said Pharrell of the singer who broke out in yet another direction earlier this year with her chart-topping , country-leaning Cowboy Carter album, on which he co-wrote and co-produced the song “Sweet Honey Buckiin'” featuring Shaboozey. “We’ve had a lot of fun. Get ready, though. Just get ready.”

When asked what we should prepare for, Williams was coy but adamant, reiterating, twice, “Just get ready.”
