Golf is welcoming a new generation of players to the game. FootJoy, the leading golf shoe brand for over 100 years, premieres the Step Forward campaign, highlighting how both the sport and the brand are stepping into the future.

Developed alongside creative partner Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners (BSSP), the new campaign launches globally with a new Step Forward, sitting at the centre of the initiative.

As golf evolves with a younger and more inclusive generation, FootJoy is creating products representing the legacy of the brand and its ability to speak to the changing demographics of the game. The spots tell the story of FootJoy’s innovation, passion, and commitment to providing the best golf products to date.
The campaign will also include another :30 spot, Hyperflex and series of :15s high impact videos rolling out on 3/1, showcasing the brand’s two newly redesigned shoes, the Hyperflex and Premiere, launching this year. The spots acknowledge that this is not just a moment in golf, but a sport experiencing a breakthrough.
The creative leverages a mixture of film and digital to achieve a textural and visceral visual approach. BSSP incorporated unexpected video set ups to capture interesting angles, which are not typically seen in golf ads so that the new products could stand out from its competitors.
