Under Armour has unveiled its 2020 global bland platform: The Only Way Is Through.
Under Armour VP of global brand creative Brian Boring said it’s not just “a clever advertising slogan”. but rather a “statement that encompasses what every person striving to achieve a goal understands in his or her heart.”
He said: We know there are no shortcuts and no magical solution. It’s thinking smarter, working harder, being better than yesterday—through the highest highs and the lowest lows—and being the best version of yourself. That is the ethos of The Only Way Is Through, and it’s why we’re so excited to bring this message—and these stories—to the world.:
The Only Way Is Through is representative of the next frontier for Under Armour—the opportunity of 2020 and beyond.

The campaign brings to life the real value of momentum; how momentum through work helps athletes push themselves to be better than what they thought possible, and how Under Armour technology—with ground-breaking product innovations like UA HOVR, UA RUSH, and UA Recover—is supporting those athletes constantly in search of incremental change in an effort to get better.
The platform launch includes a 90-second anthem, and will be supported with additional content throughout the year, including spotlight pieces telling the stories of all types of athletes and exploring their “through” moments.
