Coach's Revive Your Courage campaign was created to inspire Gen Z to be brave, adventurous, and fearless—not just in their style choices, but in how they show up in the world every day. "In our Gen Z consumer immersions around the world, we heard story after story about the dreams they wanted to pursue, whether it was something major like changing a career, or something small like trying a new hobby," says Coach Chief Marketing Officer Joon Silverstein, "But they also told us that self-doubt and the pressure to be perfect held them back from chasing those aspirations."
Revive Your Courage features returning global ambassador Elle Fanning, alongside two new ambassadors: Korean artist SOYEON, who is breaking boundaries in male-dominated fields, and Japanese singer-songwriter Lilas.
