Shaping Brand Excellence

Under our CLAIM 5 strategy, we have renewed the brand images of BOSS and HUGO. Today, both brands appear bolder, younger, and more emotional. Now, with CLAIM 5 TOUCHDOWN, our strategic roadmap until 2028, we are taking the next leap forward. It’s time to further elevate BOSS and HUGO, continue shaping what our brands stand for, and strengthen their positioning as truly desired global brands.

Two Powerhouses

To unlock the next chapter of Brand Excellence, we are introducing a new organizational setup: two dedicated powerhouses – one for men, one for women. With this, we will leverage synergies across BOSS and HUGO even stronger while deepening gender-specific expertise, all aimed to further strengthen resonance with consumers.

marketing investments

Desire does not happen by chance. We continue to invest around 7% of sales into marketing – consistently prioritizing impactful initiatives and product-led storytelling. Thereby, brand campaigns create emotional connection, while strategic partnerships such as Beckham x BOSS amplify reach and credibility. Inspiring fashion shows and high-profile collaborations turn our collections into impressive brand experiences. With this, we are driving full-funnel engagement, from brand awareness to purchase intent to long-term loyalty, ultimately building brand equity for BOSS and HUGO.
