Deichmann Steps Into the Shoes of Italians with a New Brand Platform by Serviceplan Italy, the Creative Agency of the House of Communication
23.09.2026
Italians are often recognized by their hands, by the way they gesture and express themselves. But their needs can be understood from their feet. This insight inspired“Made for Italy”, the new brand positioning campaign created for DEICHMANN, Europe's No. 1 German footwear retailer.
The concept shifts the focus from origin to destination: from Made in Italy to Made for Italy. It captures the Italian spirit in all its everyday moments, from a quick espresso at the bar and catching a flight on the go to weekends filled with long lunches and time spent together. Reinforcing this celebration of Italian lifestyle is the soundtrack, which draws on Rossini's The Barber of Seville to bring rhythm and character to the campaign.
The TV campaign, created by Serviceplan Italy and produced by Make, both agencies of the House of Communication, was directed by William9.
The campaign consists of three 20-second TV commercials launching in September, October and November respectively.
Beyond television, the campaign extends across connected TV, social and digital channels with platform-specific adaptations, as well as in-store communications. POS materials were developed using artificial intelligence, ensuring visual consistency and rapid adaptation across the entire retail network.
With this project, DEICHMANN further strengthens its ability to meet the everyday needs of Italian consumers, accompanying them step by step through daily life.
