lululemon China invites local community on storytelling challenge with its ambassadors

In celebration of its 10th anniversary, lululemon China has rolled out a campaign titled “Worn by Us”, to tell the stories behind lululemon products through the lends of 10 lululemon community ambassadors.

The ambassadors include Formula One racing driver Zhou Guanyu, British boxer Michele Aboro, triathlete Peter Wolkowicz, as well as celebrities such as American singer Amber Liu, Hong Kong actress Celina Jade, and mainland actress Wang Zixuan.

The campaign features the stories of the ambassadors, including their occupations, favourite lululemon products and motivations. Meanwhile, to further its engagement with consumers, lululemon collected 300 stories from its community as part of the campaign and chose 52 to share with the broader community in digital and physical formats. Throughout May, lululemon will continue to collaborate with its ambassadors to host a variety of community events in order to engage both old and new community members.

Apart from lululemon’s official Weibo handle, each of the ambassador reposted the campaign post and shared their transformational journey in ten years, and how lululemon empowers them to achieve their goals. For example, singer Amber Liu shared that she “found her own pace and rhythm”; and Jade shared that she found the true definition of beauty.
