“The campaign cleverly ties together children’s imaginations and taps into the nostalgic memories of the parent. The fun filled campaign also captures the premium quality and value of our products, whilst delivering a powerful fitting message.
“Clarks have over 15,000 trained fitters around the world. Our team here in Australia work proactively with retailers to train their store staff on how to get the perfect fit for children to protect their feet and support long-term foot health.
“In the lead up to the busy back to school period, the team have trained over 1400 store staff nationally.”
