Coleen Rooney Launches Littlewoods Nice Boots Campaign

(PRWEB) September 8, 2010

Littlewoods.com, the online and home shopping retailer, is delighted to announce a new television advertising campaign featuring leading women’s fashion icon and face of Littlewoods, Coleen Rooney.

‘Nice Boots Camp’ campaign launches on the 1St September and runs for six weeks. Created by Leo Burnett and featuring Nancy Sinatra’s, ‘These Boots Are Made for Walking,’ the advert was filmed on location at Bentley Priory, Herts using over 35 extras.

The 60” and 40” TV adverts show Coleen and her band of drill sergeants putting some new recruits through their fashion paces at the Littlewoods’ Nice Boots Camp. We see the girls being measured up for dresses, polishing high-heels in the barracks, practising how to “change arms” with handbags, taking on the assault course and learning to march in time. The ad finishes with the standard passing out parade and the girls all looking fabulously fashionable thanks to Littlewoods’ stylish products and Coleen’s style advice and guidance.

Viewers are encouraged to “Enrol in Nice Boots Camp” and are directed to the Littlewoods website where there will be competitions, music downloads and fashion advice from Coleen.

Coleen is a natural choice for the Littlewoods brand, with a well-documented passion for style: “This is my first TV ad for Littlewoods and I really enjoyed making it. I loved the way that the ad features such a wide variety of real women and shows some of my favourite pieces from the Littlewoods collection.” says Coleen.

Shop Direct Group’s Retail Director, Gareth Jones says: “We are delighted with the ‘Nice Boots’ campaign and Coleen has proved to be an inspirational style ambassador for Littlewoods. We are looking forward to continuing our collaboration in the future”

The TV campaign will be supported by Nice Boots Camp digital display banners and a press campaign.
