Back in the '90s, shoe store schuh was famous for its cheeky ads and punk attitude. Twenty years on, their comms had fizzled out. They needed an ownable tone of voice to help them stand out on the high street – and regain some of that rebel spirit. Working with Reed Words and SNASK, I gave them one so distinctive it doubled up as their big 2019 campaign.
