Ad of the Day: cinematic Eastpak film imagines futuristic life on mars

Although the spot visualizes what it might look like if humans no longer inhabit planet Earth, it prophesizes that recreational pursuits will remain much the same.

Florence Blanckaert, brand marketing manager at Eastpak, said: "Creating a brand campaign is something personal, especially to a heritage brand like Eastpak. It takes trust and partnership. Mutant was the perfect partner and extension of our team in envisioning the future and creative interpretation of our iconic Built to Resist. Pushing the boundaries and keeping us all on our toes. We can’t wait to unveil the result.”

The campaign will run globally from today across social media, digital channels, instore and out-of-home (OOH) activations.

Odin Saillée, founder and executive creative director at Mutant, added: "There are few brands with such an iconic and timeless baseline as Eastpak. This is the kind of stuff you live for as an agency: attaching your creative interpretation to the thread and showing the world what Built to Resist means in our current cultural climate."
