The ‘Awaken Your Incredible’ campaign, created by BMF, reflects on the personal hurdles commonly encountered in life, celebrating how individuals overcome them.

Michael Burgess, Weight Watchers general manager, marketing, said in a statement: “Weight Watchers is founded and built on the truth that the only lasting weight loss solution for you, comes from within you. The core creative idea has hope and flexes the motivational muscle.”

The new brand campaign has seen the weight loss organisation refreshed with a new logo and website and is supported by a dedicated website, created and managed by Reactive, which provides consumers with information on weight loss and health, and information on the Weight Watchers brand.

The integrated campaign strategy was developed by Naked and spans above and below the line, including TV, direct mail, digital and PR.
