The LYCRA Company, owner of the LYCRA® brand portfolio of elastane fibres, announces the launch of a trademark protection campaign which not only highlights the LYCRA® brand’s strong enforcement on brand infringements, but also promotes the brand’s core values. As the first major trademark protection brand campaign since The LYCRA Company was established earlier in 2019, the “Zero Tolerance” campaign’s striking creative features a pair of hosiery clad legs in the LYCRA® brand’s signature red, alongside the simple but impactful copy: “Zero Tolerance of Brand Infringement”.
The LYCRA® brand is one of the world’s most recognisable ingredient brands known to consumers around the world and is seen as a symbol of quality. In an age where transparency is key and consumers specifically seek out brands that they can trust, the LYCRA® brand can be of value to brand and retailers and brands, mills, manufacturers and distributors, by increasing desirability. To ensure that consumers’ trust in the brand remains high and that the brand may continue to add value for its customers, The LYCRA Company deems it is their duty to continue to protect the brand and uphold its strong values.
This campaign is intending to both reassure customers that the company works hard to protect the integrity of its flagship brand and that they are buying quality fibre product, but also to encourage those involved in the industry to take steps to avoid any infringements. The company exercises regular, random checks on products carrying the LYCRA® brand trademark.
“With over 200 offerings in our product portfolio, we place a strong emphasis on working closely and collaboratively with our business partners across the industry. We help them to leverage the power of the LYCRA® brand, to differentiate products and add value for them every step of the way. This is of particular importance in the hosiery sector: in an environment where everyone needs a point of difference, our bespoke solutions deliver differentiation and add value,” states Jane Gwyther, Senior Strategic Account Manager – Legwear at The LYCRA Company.
The “Zero Tolerance” campaign appears on billboards, buses, in print display as well as across a series of digital channels in the UK, Italy, Turkey and Poland, from November 2019 with roll-out in additional countries in 2020.
