JD rings in the holidays with the Family campaign this year, bringing forth high energies and vibrance in honor of all forms of family. The feeling of family is at the very core of what makes the holidays so special in all communities. JD pushes the notion of traditional families by really understanding the perspectives of its consumers. The brand spotlights the diversity of modern families whether it is biological or not for an inclusive and realistic approach.
In the newly launched film, 'JD: Family Portrait:' it highlights five British talents. They all bring their real-life family connections into the spotlight to showcase how these intimate moments are what are the most lasting. The film follows the familial moments of Central Cee, Maya Jama, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Paddy the Baddy, and more. Throughout this, we are serenaded by a new bespoke edit of the soothing melodic sounds of 'Wanna' by Jamie XX.
UK & EU Marketing Director at JD, Chris Waters shares, "Our JD ‘Family’ campaign honors not just the families we're born into, but also those we choose along the way. At this time of year, the essence of family is woven into everyday life, and our campaign seeks to highlight the authentic connections and lived experiences of all forms of family. As the leading retailer in sports fashion and lifestyle, JD proudly showcases this year's incredible talent alongside their families, celebrating the bonds that truly matter in moments that represent them."
