dENiZEN, introduced by Levi Strauss primarily as a brand for Asia-Pacific region, but later taken to the U.S. as well, has launched a new program targeted at ambitious young people, willing to spread the word about their start-ups. The brand is calling individuals and groups from China, Singapore, Korea, Pakistan, India and Mexico to come up with their inspirational and optimistic projects, which can benefit community in various areas, including filming, art, technology, music, sports or games. The most entertaining and smart entry will be selected by three judges and realized with the help of dENiZEN—so, it’s really worth trying.
Levi’s
Levi’s, which is encouraging the whole world to ‘Go Forth’ with its global campaign, now has made a new big step to promote pioneering spirit on all the continents. The brand, which is committed to inspiring younger generation to create positive social, cultural and ecological changes in the world, is presenting its new film, the ‘Levi’s Legacy’ 60-second spot, which is the first international video of the promotion. The spot, which first premiered on the brand’s Facebook page, will be screened at cinemas on Friday and then will be aired on TV later in August, according to the press release.
Last summer, Levi Strauss presented the dENiZEN brand designed exclusively for Asia-Pacific region, but then it was decided that the new offer might be a good addition to the company’s portfolio in other countries as well. The brand, which is already available in China, India, Mexico, Pakistan, Singapore and South Korea, today, July 20, officially arrives in the U.S. to be sold at Target throughout the country—there, shoppers can find men, women, boys and girls styles at the prices ranging from $17.99 to $29.99.
By saying ‘Go Forth’ in its new global marketing campaign, Levi’s really means it. The jeanswear brand is starting to expand some of its initiatives launched previously on the U.S. market on an international scale now. Levi’s, which opened the doors of its first print workshop—the first in the series of such venues—in San Francisco a year ago as part of ‘Ready to Work’ campaign, is inviting creative talents to another themed workshop, now in Berlin.
Levi’s has been always committed to celebrating pioneer spirit and empowering youth to create a better world (the recent activities of the brand are revolving around water conservation and creativity) and with its groundbreaking technologies including the Water<Less one, has become an icon of progress, improvement and driving positive change. Last year, Levi’s launched its ‘Ready to Work’ campaign in the U.S. as part of its ‘Go Forth’ platform revealed in 2009, and now the brand announces the launch of its first-ever global creative platform under the same title with the ‘Now is our time’ tagline—the new marketing effort is designed to reach consumers in 24 countries via a plethora of media including TV, cinema, print, digital and outdoor in the coming months.
Levi’s known for it’s sustainability campaigns and eco product styles such as Waterless jeans, is currently supporting a group of young American cyclists that aim to raise money for Blue Planet, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing safe drinking water to those without. That’s the part of Levi’s Shape What’s to Come initiative.

Levi’s has released a new art-inspired product as part of its ongoing collaboration with the MOCA museum started in Los Angeles in April—the jeanswear brand opened its new Levi’s Workshop at the ‘Art In the Streets’ exhibition of the museum and on May 24 it has released a hilarious short movie ‘Outside In: The Story of Art In the Streets,’ which showcases the process of arranging the event and interviews with graffiti influencers, “documents the artist’s creative process, their pitfalls with the law, the poetic impermanence of their craft and the artists’ evolution from the back seat of a cop car to the walls of a well-respected institution” as the synopsis states.
