To launch their Performance Denim collection, Levi’s partnered with Huck to create 'Here & Now', an award-winning editorial content and film series exploring how men are reimagining outdated expectations of status, identity and performance.

Following TCOLab’s research into masculinity in culture today, we documented young creatives in the UK, Russia and Germany as they pursue new paths unburdened by inherited values. Capturing each story in film, lifestyle stills and editorial assets, we drove comprehension and deepened brand affinity across Huck’s European audience and the brand's own channels, delivering a 6% brand uplift.

Tofel Santana learned to adapt as a way of life. Uprooted from his family at an early age, his only constant has been the power of performance: a dancer who can rap, sing and dare to be different. At 27, he’s still shrugging off what society thinks he should be – determined to define himself as he sees fit. Read more

Portrait Of An Artist

In Russia, a new generation is emerging: One where individuality trumps tradition

It’s great to hear I’m not alone in this coming age, that there is a sense of new masculinity that is not afraid to be fragile, that can give as well as take, and reshape the world into something beautiful without using force to destroy.

What the team at TCO have been able to achieve through ‘Here and Now’ is a great blend of credible and considered insight, excellent creative execution and the expertise to be able to amplify at scale, something that is a lot harder to find than you’d think.
