the lambesis agency

The Lambesis Agency is a brand development agency specializing in the creation of iconic brands by establishing a deeper emotional and cultural connection with consumers. For the past two decades, Lambesis has applied a style-based approach to branding across prestige and mass prestige products ranging from fashion and spirits, to electronics and travel, to fitness and music, gaining the company international recognition. The agency has a reputation for building iconic style and design based brands, having extensive knowledge of cultural and consumer insights, and a mission to raise the general aesthetic. Malcolm Gladwell wrote an article entitled The Coolhunt, published in The New Yorker, which focused on Lambesis L Report and its ability to predict fashion, music, and other cultural trends. Inspired by the tremendous response to his article, Gladwell made it the foundation for his best selling book, The Tipping Point. In the book, he dedicates an entire chapter to Lambesis work on the Airwalk Footwear campaign, which he examines the epidemic spread of trends among youth culture and the power of word-of-mouth influence. The research methods and techniques the agency used to brand clients pioneered the development of less traditional marketing methods, including the creation of buzz, viral marketing, and the use of short films online (for Airwalk and SKYY Vodka).
