Fall Ad Campaign

Beginning October 23 2014, Destination XL (DXL) is back on the air…with a slight twist on the successful spring campaign, "You're Looking Good." Strategically incorporated into a solid fall lineup, DXL will grab viewers' attention on highly rated programs such as Survivor, 48 Hours and The Amazing Race, as well as NFL and collegiate football.

The campaign dramatizes the act of getting dressed, with snippets of four men in close-up making final adjustments to their outfits inside DXL fitting rooms. As they emerge in unison, their slow-motion gait, accompanied by fanfare music, evokes a feeling of warriors preparing for battle. They stride side-by-side, confident and heroic, as one man's proud wife and DXL store associates gaze in awe at them. Each man's look represents a different lifestyle; this emphasizes the one-stop shopping experience DXL provides, with its wide selection of style options and brands. The spot also offers a glimpse inside a DXL store, showcasing its unique and eye-catching atmosphere.

"You're Looking Good" is the second national campaign for DXL, which follows last year's "No Man's Land"; the original spot depicted the struggles XL men face when shopping for clothes. The 2014 campaign takes a more solution-oriented, aspirational approach for men who wear waist size 38" and up.

The success of the campaign will be measured through a combination of factors including: brand awareness, store and web sales, traffic, and customers who are new to the brand. This latest venture continues the long-term effort to build brand awareness, affinity and, ultimately, loyalty to DXL.
