Moore not solely invested within the model, but additionally grew to become an adviser. “Over the last four to five years, we’ve built a strong relationship. I turn to her for questions and advise and thoughts, and she always provides insights, whether it’s on products or marketing. It’s really been a wonderful relationship,” Travis mentioned.
Last December, Travis mentioned she knew that summer season 2021 can be a extremely vital time. “Hopefully the vaccine rollout would go well, people are calling it revenge travel, and I reached out to her and asked how how she would feel about partnering for a campaign in this historic, pivotal summer, what I hoped would be coming out of a global pandemic, and she was excited to think about it with me, and here we are.”

Over the previous seven months, they acquired collectively often and constructed out what it could seem like. “Somewhere along the way she [Moore] said, ‘What about if we included my daughters in here?’” Travis mentioned.

Moore and her three daughters flew to East Hampton. “They were very game, they stayed for awhile out east. We had a great time. We weren’t originally going to shoot at Cass’ house, but the spirit of this brand is about community and our people and having fun, and Cass said, ‘Let’s shoot in my backyard.’”

I’ve been a supporter of Andie from the beginning as an investor, and now, more than ever, felt like a perfect time to join them in welcoming a summer of freedom and togetherness. Especially sharing it with my daughters.

Discussing particularly what the marketing campaign would possibly do for the model, Travis mentioned, “Two things come to mind. One is really start to have some penetration across demographics. Right now we’re really good in the 25 to 45 age range. We are great for any woman at any age or stage of her life. Even if you’re a grandmother, we have great suits that you will feel great in and look great in. And, on the other end, we’re a young brand — we’re four and a years old. A lot of our growth has come from advertising on social media. My hope with this campaign is that we elevate to the next level. And that we become a known international brand that you don’t have to be on Instagram to know about.”
