Overview

OPPORTUNITY: Stoke Confidence

Can a functional shapewear label transition into an aspirational lifestyle brand? You bet. Especially when you’re a pioneer of apparel with shapewear inside. Popilush had a perfect opportunity to empower women of all shapes and sizes to feel confident in their skin.

IDEA: Live Lush

It’s more than a campaign or tagline. It embodies a lifestyle that invites women to feel their best, look their best, and live their lushest lives.

Popilush brand campaign creative with bold typography and lifestyle imagery, reflecting the ‘Live Lush’ repositioning of the shapewear-apparel brand.

ACTIVATION: Reframe shapewear

The bold, integrated campaign reframed shapewear as a source of joy, confidence, and personal power. We connected Popilush’s hero product—the shapewear dress that hugs, lifts, and shapes—to the emotional rewards of confidence and self-expression. From the soft caress of their fabric to the moment of catching your reflection, Live Lush amplified how shapewear can empower rather than constrain. We showed up to inspire women wherever they craved that boost to reach their best self—from ads on Bravo!, TLC, and HBO to social, digital, and email. All while Spring and Summer influencer programs built cultural momentum and expanded reach.
